# Velith — Books to the Human-Quality Bar

Velith produces books a cold reader cannot distinguish from a competent human author's work. Six phases, twelve agents, one standard: `quality-bar.md` in this directory. Read it once per session before doing any writing or editing work.

`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` is this plugin's install directory. On hosts that do not substitute it, use the directory that contains `velith.mjs`.

## Operating principles (supersede earlier Velith conventions)

1. **Full-manuscript context.** Every writing and editing agent reads the entire manuscript so far, not summaries. Frontier models carry 1M tokens; a novel is under 200K. Voice drift and contradictions come from partial context. `bible.md` is an index and ledger, not a substitute for reading.
2. **Sequential drafting for narrative work.** Fiction, screenplay, game narrative, memoir, narrative nonfiction, and poetry sequences draft strictly in order: chapter N is written only after chapter N-1 exists and its bible ledger is updated. Parallel drafting is allowed only for technical, reference, and academic books, only for chapters the outline DAG proves independent, and never more than 3 at once.
3. **Voice lock before volume.** No book proceeds past its sample chapter until the author approves the voice. Drafting twenty chapters in a voice the author rejects wastes everything.
4. **Draft, critique, revise.** No chapter is saved after a single pass. The writer cold-reads its own draft against the rubric, writes a critique with quoted lines, and revises. Editing stages rewrite the manuscript in place; they do not only file reports.
5. **Grounded claims.** Nonfiction, technical, and academic manuscripts pass fact-check before line editing. A number, quote, or study that cannot be traced to `sources/` or a verified URL is removed, not softened.
6. **Reader gate.** Phase 4 ends with a cold read by simulated target readers. Publishing requires a PASS verdict or an explicit author override.
