Individual skill
book-genesis
Use when someone wants to write a complete book from an idea, even a one-line one, or to continue, audit, revise or package a book in progress. Book Genesis plans the book, drafts every chapter in a consistent voice, has blind simulated readers and a read-only auditor critique it, revises in bounded passes, and delivers a commercial-length manuscript with a scored report and an editorial package (logline, blurb, synopsis, query letter, cover brief). The author agrees at each step or lets it run to the end. Fiction and memoir first; nonfiction works but is not calibrated.

# Book Genesis
Take an idea to a complete, commercial-length book inside the author's own agent: planned, drafted, read blind, audited, revised and packaged, with every decision saved to files.
This recovery build restores the 5.0 creative approach: draft with a compact story packet and fewer constraints, then audit and repair the prose. Preserve voice, asymmetry and consequential choices. Execution safeguards and file verification stay with the orchestrator.
The goal is a book written with the measured patterns of books readers finish, audited the way a demanding editor would audit it, and packaged to sell. It is a goal, not a promise: no workflow can guarantee sales.
## Start here
Read `references/pipeline/plugin-onboarding.md` first. It routes new ideas,
resume, review-only, status and export requests, and keeps the author in a
simple conversation while you handle the technical steps.
