What problem does it solve?
This Skill evaluates whether a book's beat outline is structurally stable enough to proceed to section expansion, identifying splits, braiding opportunities, blockers, and an actionable beat-to-section coverage plan.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Beat file analysis: Reads books/[name]/docs/15_beats.md plus optional story context files to assess each beat's readiness.
- Decision pass orchestration: Spawns a beat-analyzer agent to run a structured Beat Expansion decision pass and synthesizes per-beat recommendations and a coverage plan.
- Repository updates & user flow: Presents findings to the user, captures approval to mark beats as Stable or Locked, and updates the beats status header and mapping when authorized.
- Use Case: Use this Skill before expanding sections to ensure the backbone is consolidated and to avoid wasted drafting on unstable beats.
