What it does

Beta Reader Feedback is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Plan beta reading rounds for practical nonfiction and turn reader comments, abandonment, confusion, skepticism, and negative feedback into manuscript revisions. Use when recruiting beta readers, preparing reader instructions, synthesizing feedback, deciding whether a book is ready, or improving a draft from real reader data.

Its SKILL.md is about 920 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files (for example `references/core/checklist.md`, `references/core/examples.md` and `references/core/knowledge.md`). Compatibility notes: Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Recruiting and HR. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Recruiting beta readers
  • Preparing reader instructions
  • Synthesizing feedback
  • Deciding whether a book is ready

Example prompts

  • “/beta-reader-feedback”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm Beta-Readiness
  2. Choose The Reader Batch
  3. Prepare The Feedback Surface
  4. Classify Feedback
  5. Revise By Signal Strength

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 16b4156. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Beta Reader Feedback loads about 918 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 398 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~918
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Beta Reader Feedback

Core Lens

Beta reading is product testing for a useful nonfiction manuscript. The goal is not praise, proofreading, or opinion collection. The goal is to discover whether readers want the promise, receive the value, stay engaged, and know what to do next.

Use this skill to:

  • Plan beta reader rounds.
  • Recruit the right readers.
  • Write reader instructions.
  • Classify and synthesize comments.
  • Detect hidden boredom from abandonment.
  • Decide what to revise next.
  • Decide when the manuscript is ready for polishing.

Example instructions, feedback classes, and synthesis patternsreferences/core/examples.md
Quick checklist for setup and reviewreferences/core/checklist.md
Run a beta iterationworkflows/run-beta-iteration.md
Synthesize comments into revision decisionsworkflows/synthesize-feedback.md

Workflow

1. Confirm Beta-Readiness

Start beta reading after the draft is coherent enough for motivated readers, but before it has been polished so heavily that major changes feel costly.

If the draft is still a vague TOC, use book-toc-lab. If it needs structural pacing work first, use reader-experience-edit.

2. Choose The Reader Batch

For each iteration, define:

  • Target reader profile.
  • Desired number of deeply engaged readers.
  • Invitation list, usually larger than the desired reader count.
  • Any influential readers to save for a later, stronger draft.
3. Prepare The Feedback Surface

Use a tool that supports live comments and engagement visibility.

  • Prefer cloud-hosted commenting.
  • Do not email PDFs around as the main workflow.
  • Tell readers what feedback matters now.
  • Ask for confusion, skepticism, missing information, boredom, value, and applicability.

4. Classify Feedback

Group feedback by signal:

  • Evidence of value.
  • Confusion or missing information.
  • Skepticism or weak proof.
  • Factual issues, overgeneralization, or oversimplification.
  • Unnecessary drama or distracting sentences.
  • Boredom, abandonment, or comment drop-off.
  • Application problems after reading.
5. Revise By Signal Strength

Prioritize changes that unblock more readers.

  • Treat abandonment as data.
  • Treat negative feedback as a lens, not a command.
  • Do not argue with readers in the document.
  • Follow up when the book is supposed to change behavior after reading.

Output Format

When helping with beta feedback, return:

  1. Beta-readiness or setup diagnosis.
  2. Reader recruitment and instruction plan.
  3. Feedback taxonomy or synthesis table.
  4. Ordered revision priorities.
  5. Finish criteria: what evidence would make the manuscript ready for polish.

Quality Bar

Separate reader signals from author defensiveness. Do not merely summarize comments. Convert them into revision decisions, open questions, and next beta-round tests.
