At a glance

Reviews chapters or manuscripts against the standard that fits their genre, audience and your own criteria, showing concrete issues and revising only when asked.

  • Reviewing a novel chapter against its genre and audience
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Getting concrete, evidence-backed issues instead of a vague score
  • Checking a long-running serial for stalled plot or repeated beats

What it does

The agent first identifies the applicable standard from genre, target audience, tone, platform and your stated preferences, since comedy, literary fiction, romance, mystery and commercial serials should not share one threshold for logic density. In an active book it audits saved chapters and reports each issue with severity, evidence and likely reader impact. A parser or model-format failure is reported as review unavailable, never as proof the prose is bad.

For long-form work it compares a chapter with memo requirements, recent progression, hook ids, character knowledge and promises made to readers, and treats repetition as non-progress. Repairs are routed by cause: local prose defects can be patched, while missing scenes, broken causality, timeline, viewpoint or payoff problems need structural revision. Revision happens on request, keeps your voice, targets the smallest scope and reports whether the change was applied. A review matrix reference is loaded for full reviews or disputed standards.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing a novel chapter against its genre and audience
  • Getting concrete, evidence-backed issues instead of a vague score
  • Checking a long-running serial for stalled plot or repeated beats
  • Revising only the passages that have a real defect

Example prompts

  • “Review chapter twelve of my mystery draft for pacing and clue fairness.”
  • “This is a web-serial romance for young adult readers; judge it by that standard, not as literary fiction.”
  • “Fix only the broken timeline in chapter three and leave my voice alone.”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8fc2ae5. 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.

Context cost

InkOS Story Review loads about 450 tokens when it runs, and up to ~997 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 230 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~450
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~997

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.

Story review

Use this skill when the user wants diagnosis, comparison, review, or revision advice for existing prose.

  • First identify the applicable standard from genre, target audience, tone, platform, and explicit user preference. Everyday comedy, literary fiction, romance, mystery, and commercial serials should not share one logic-density threshold.
  • In an active book, use the auditor for persisted chapters. Show concrete issue descriptions, severity, evidence, and likely reader impact.
  • A parser or model-format failure produces a review-unavailable observation. It is not evidence that the prose is bad and never authorizes a rewrite.
  • Revise when the user asks or an explicit production action requests revision; report whether the revised artifact was actually applied.
  • Preserve the user's voice and successful passages. Prefer the smallest scope that resolves the real defect.
  • For long-form work, compare the chapter with populated memo requirements, recent progression, real hook ids, character knowledge, and reader promises. Repetition is not progression; a payoff, subplot, or emotional line moves only when facts, action, relationship, status, or understanding changes.
  • Route repairs by cause: local prose defects may be patched, while missing scenes, broken causality, timeline, viewpoint, character logic, or payoff require structural revision.
  • Respond in the user's language.

Load references/review-matrix.md for a full review or when standards are disputed. The matrix is qualitative guidance, not a scorecard. For spinoffs, use parent canon as authority; for fanfic, honor fanficMode and explicit allowed deviations.
