SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Long, heterogeneous works can read as disconnected essays or as over-totalized arguments; this Skill evaluates whether a text functions as a unified work with an identifiable trajectory rather than a collection of adjacent sections. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Whole-Work Trajectory Analysis: Reconstructs the initial question, conceptual thread, transformations, and ending movement across the entire text. - Fragmentation and Totalization Tests: Detects both failure modes—sections that never connect and single master theses that suppress multiplicity. - Structural Diagnostics with Severity Classification: Reports findings with evidence, diagnosis, A–E severity classification, confidence level, and actionable recommendations. - Use Case: A researcher finishing a book-length rhizomatic analysis of AI uses this Skill to verify that nodes, assemblages, observer position, and the ending form a coherent trajectory without forcing false unity. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to apply the whole-work reading skill to your manuscript and report whether it functions as a unified work with a clear trajectory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if my manuscript works as a unified whole?

Apply whole-work reading to reconstruct the initial question, conceptual thread, transformations, and ending movement across all sections. The analysis tests whether parts participate in a larger trajectory rather than functioning as independent essays.

How to detect fragmentation in a multi-section research text?

Look for sections that introduce new problems unrelated to the larger one, conclusions that repeatedly restart the argument, and concepts that never develop across sections. The Skill's fragmentation test distinguishes genuine disconnection from productive heterogeneity.

Can a non-linear or rhizomatic text still be coherent?

Yes. Coherence can arise through relations, transformations, returns, and crossings rather than linear argument. The Skill explicitly avoids penalizing asymmetry, openness, or heterogeneity when they are constitutive of the work.

What severity classifications does the whole-work analysis produce?

Findings are classified from A (critical, compromising the whole work) through E (non-problematic), with confidence levels and recommendations ranging from Necessary to Leave unchanged. Each finding includes evidence and whole-work implications.

When should I not restructure my text based on this analysis?

Do not restructure merely to make the work more linear, symmetrical, or explicit. Intervene only when a genuine trajectory break, missing necessary relation, unsupported ending, or false causal sequence exists.
