Review Ebook Continuity
Core Workflow
Use this skill to inspect a manuscript as a book, not just as separate files.
- Map the manuscript:
- List chapter files in order.
- Identify title page, main chapters, appendices, and docs.
- Note the intended reader and book promise.
- Check progression:
- Does each chapter depend only on concepts already introduced?
- Does the order move from beginner setup to practical execution to publishing/release?
- Are appendices used for reference material rather than missing core explanations?
- Check each chapter:
- Goal, concepts, steps, example, common mistakes, summary.
- Bridge from previous chapter and bridge to next chapter when useful.
- No unexplained jumps, placeholder text, or stale version numbers.
- Check visual/content alignment:
- Screenshot file exists.
- Screenshot matches the chapter topic.
- Caption explains why the screenshot matters.
- Placeholder screenshots are not presented as final unless intentional.
- Produce findings:
- Lead with concrete issues by chapter/file.
- Include recommended fixes.
- If the user asked to execute, patch the manuscript directly and validate.
Review Style
When reviewing only, provide:
- High-priority continuity breaks.
- Medium-priority clarity or repetition issues.
- Low-priority polish suggestions.
- A short summary of what is already working.
When editing, keep changes local and scoped. Do not rewrite the whole book unless the chapter is too thin or structurally broken.
