What it does

Reader Experience Edit is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Audit and revise practical nonfiction drafts for reader experience, value pacing, front-loaded insight, value-per-page, boredom, and beta-readiness. Use when editing, restructuring, shortening, or reviewing a book, guide, manual, course-like manuscript, or long-form educational draft so readers receive useful value quickly and keep reading.

Its SKILL.md is about 820 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 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.

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

  • Reviewing a book
  • Course-like manuscript
  • Long-form educational draft so readers receive useful value quickly and keep reading

Example prompts

  • “/reader-experience-edit”

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. Anchor On The Promise
  2. Create A Value Map
  3. Front-Load Value
  4. Increase Value-Per-Page
  5. Prepare For Beta Readers

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

Reader Experience Edit loads about 821 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 349 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~821
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.6k

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.

Reader Experience Edit

Core Lens

Treat reader experience as value received over time spent. Practical nonfiction does not keep readers engaged through suspense; it keeps them engaged by regularly delivering the outcome promised by the book.

Use this skill to diagnose and improve:

  • Slow starts.
  • Long stretches of theory before payoff.
  • Low value-per-page.
  • Sections whose value is unclear.
  • Drafts that need to be coherent enough for beta readers, not polished enough for publication.

Revision rules and decision criteriareferences/core/rules.md

Fast audit checklistreferences/core/checklist.md
Step-by-step manuscript auditworkflows/audit-manuscript.md

Workflow

1. Anchor On The Promise

Identify:

  • Target reader.
  • Book promise.
  • First meaningful piece of value.
  • What the reader should be able to do, decide, or understand after each major section.

If the promise is unclear, use book-toc-lab before editing the manuscript.

2. Create A Value Map

Build a table:

text
Section | Word count | Reader takeaway | Value type | Risk

Use it to find:

  • Slow start: too many words before first value.
  • Long slog: back-to-back sections without strong takeaways.
  • Fluff: high word count relative to reader value.
3. Front-Load Value

Look for ways to deliver the first useful result earlier:

  • Cut front matter.
  • Insert real value into theory sections.
  • Start with the main insight, tool, checklist, example, or result.
  • Move background after the reader has a reason to care.
4. Increase Value-Per-Page

Prefer deletion before addition.

  • Cut anything outside the target reader's scope.
  • Replace general motivation with concrete examples.
  • Compress explanations that do not change reader behavior.
  • Save deleted material in a separate cutting-room-floor note when useful.
5. Prepare For Beta Readers

Do not aim for perfect prose yet. Aim for a draft that is coherent enough for motivated readers to identify real problems.

Return:

  1. Main reader-experience diagnosis.
  2. Value map or section-by-section risk table.
  3. Highest-leverage cuts, moves, and rewrites.
  4. Revised opening or TOC recommendations when relevant.
  5. Beta-readiness note: what must be fixed before readers see it.

Quality Bar

Recommendations should be structural and specific. Prefer "move this section after X", "cut this setup", or "turn this theory into a worked example" over generic writing advice.
