Revise Book
Workflow
-
Read core contract, style rules, story craft, book plan, canon, chapter state, and the manuscript range in scope.
-
Diagnose in layers: whole-book causality, character and subplot arcs, chapter necessity and order, scene turns, continuity, then prose.
-
Fix the highest causal layer first. If chapter order or purpose changes, patch
book_plan.mdbefore line editing downstream chapters. -
Keep stable
CH-###IDs when moving chapters. Add new IDs for genuinely new chapters instead of renumbering the book. -
Rebuild
chapter_state.jsonfor any affected range. -
Run continuity and style checks after the structural pass and again after prose edits.
-
Apply the
project-impactprocedure after accepted chapter or structural changes and mark affected downstream artifacts stale.
Done
Every accepted revision note is resolved, chapter plan and manuscript agree, and chapter state can be regenerated from the revised text without contradiction.
