editorial-review

This skill should be used when the user asks for a "sensitivity reader", "authenticity reader", "cultural review", "is this portrayal okay", "real people in my novel", "defamation", "can I use song lyrics", "epigraph permission", "permissions", "quote permission", "fair use", "AI disclosure", "do I need to disclose AI", "send to my editor", "editorial round", "Word file for my editor", "editor review copy", "co-author", "collaborate on a book", "shared world", "back up my book", "does this echo my source", "similarity check", "check overlap with my earlier books", or wants to run human editorial, ethics, permissions, or collaboration workflows around a story project. NOT for contracts or selling rights (use publishing), or reader feedback rounds and review copies for readers, including the GitHub review-copy setup (use feedback-triage).

# Editorial Review

## Overview

Run the workflows that involve people outside the agent: briefing and
paying sensitivity and authenticity readers, a real-people and
defamation-risk pass, permissions for quoted material, an AI-use
disclosure statement, editorial rounds with human editors, and
collaboration between co-authors. The skill prepares materials, tracks
state in frontmatter, and flags risks. It does not give legal advice, it
does not contact anyone, and it never records a permission, review, or
disclosure the user has not confirmed.
