SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? After a review pass flags issues like AI-flavored prose, explanatory tone, or template emotions, authors need a systematic way to apply that feedback across chapters instead of editing each file by hand. This Skill runs the novel-studio pipeline's rewrite stage so the Writer role revises chapter files directly according to the review comments. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Feedback-driven rewriting: Reads existing review output from a prior novel-review run and rewrites chapters through the Writer (or coordinator) role. - Chapter range control: Rewrite the whole book or limit work to a specific chapter range with --from and --to flags. - Craft-guided revision: Applies human_feel_craft and writing_techniques_digest guidance, converting abstract feedback into concrete scene objects, dialogue beats, and causal chains rather than surface word swaps. - Use Case: After running a review on your serialized novel project, you cd into the project directory and rewrite chapters 3 through 8 so the flagged AI-tone passages are replaced with scene-level detail. ## Quick Start Enter your novel project directory and ask the assistant to run the novel-studio pipeline rewrite stage to revise the reviewed chapters based on the feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions about novel-rewrite

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I rewrite novel chapters based on review feedback?

Change into your novel project directory and run novel-studio --pipeline --stages rewrite. The pipeline reads the existing review feedback and calls the Writer role to revise each chapter file in place.

How do I rewrite only specific chapters with novel-studio?

Use the --from and --to flags with the rewrite stage, for example novel-studio --pipeline --stages rewrite --from 3 --to 8. Both bounds are inclusive, and leaving them at 0 lets the tool pick the range automatically.

Does the rewrite stage overwrite my original chapter files?

Yes, the rewrite stage modifies chapters/*.md in place, replacing the original text. The documentation recommends using version control or a backup before running it so you can recover earlier drafts.

Can I use a different model role instead of writer for rewriting?

Yes, pass --role coordinator to use the coordinator role instead of the default writer role. You can also set a per-chapter time budget with the --budget flag.

Why does the rewrite stage fail when I pass a project path?

The rewrite stage does not accept a positional path argument; the project root must be the current working directory. Run cd into the project directory first, then invoke the pipeline command.
