name	chapter-intake
description	Normalize one chapter into model-friendly structural units such as cleaned text, paragraph blocks, dialogue candidates, scene candidates, and explicit task constraints before downstream extraction.

Chapter Intake

Use this skill at the very start of chapter processing when a small model needs a constrained, regularized view of raw chapter text.

Inputs

• Raw chapter text
• Chapter index / normalized title
• Optional previous-chapter summary

Outputs

• Cleaned text
• Paragraph blocks with stable order
• Dialogue candidate snippets
• Scene block candidates
• Processing constraints for downstream skills

Rules

• Do not analyze plot or infer motives.
• Preserve order and wording where possible.
• Remove only obvious formatting noise or duplicated headings.
• Prefer omission over accidental rewrite.
