SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents books from being published with unresolved prose defects, continuity errors, citation issues, artifact problems, or previously reported reader complaints by running a comprehensive release gate.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Manuscript Quality Scanning: Runs prose diagnostics, AI-content audits, continuity reviews, voice checks, logic checks, and registered complaint scans across a manuscript.
  • Release Integrity Validation: Verifies rendered output, canon consistency, token leakage, name collisions, and citation grounding before publication.
  • Use Case: A fiction author preparing a KDP release can use this Skill to generate a pre-publish gate report that identifies blockers and confirms whether the manuscript is ready to ship.

Quick Start

Run the pre-publish skill on the current manuscript and generate the complete release readiness report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a manuscript quality check before publishing on KDP?

To run a manuscript quality check before publishing on KDP, execute a comprehensive release gate that scans prose, verifies artifact rendering, and validates citation grounding to produce a reliable ship decision.

What is manuscript continuity validation and when do I need it?

Manuscript continuity validation detects canon consistency failures, name collisions, and logic errors across your book. You need it during final editorial review to ensure readers encounter no unresolved continuity failures before publication.

How do I check my book manuscript for AI content and token leakage?

Checking your book manuscript for AI content and token leakage involves running registered complaint scans and AI-content audits. These integrity checks verify rendered output and detect token leakage before the final release gate decision.

Can I use automated editorial review to verify release readiness for a fiction manuscript?

Yes, you can use automated editorial review to verify release readiness for a fiction manuscript by running coordinated prose scans, review-engine audits, and integrity checks that generate a complete pre-publish gate report.

What is the best way to validate citations and canon consistency before shipping a book?

The best way to validate citations and canon consistency before shipping a book is running a release integrity validation process that verifies citation grounding, checks canon consistency, and identifies any release blockers in the manuscript.

Why does my manuscript fail the pre-publish release gate?

Your manuscript fails the pre-publish release gate when comprehensive scans detect unresolved prose defects, continuity errors, citation issues, artifact problems, or previously reported reader complaints that act as publication blockers.
