Repository setup specialist. Ensures the repo has the correct Leanpub manuscript structure (manuscript/, Book.txt, resources/), an AGENTS.md with book context and skill routing, and GhostAI config. Run automatically when the preamble detects missing structure, or manually anytime.
Book onboarding wizard. Collaborative interview that challenges the author to think deeply about their topic, audience, and structure before scaffolding files. Pushes for specificity and earns every chapter in the outline.
The 30-second intervention. For when the author is staring at one specific spot — a paragraph that won't come, a sentence rewritten six times. Breaks the logjam and hands momentum back. Deliberately the narrowest, fastest skill.
Story miner. Pulls real stories out of the author's head and turns them into the anecdotes that make a book worth reading. Interview-driven, voice-input friendly, one question at a time.
Research assistant. The author describes what they want to learn; the skill sharpens the brief via interview, researches from training knowledge, and writes results into a dedicated research file excluded from the published book.
Becomes the author's target reader and reacts honestly to the manuscript. Answers: "Will the person I'm writing for actually understand this, believe it, and feel helped?" Read-only — reacts and advises, does not rewrite.
Triage partner for the author who has a pile — notes everywhere, half-chapters, ideas in the wrong file, duplicate versions of the same thought. Reads everything, diagnoses the mess, and sorts existing material into structure after author approval.
Writes the explanatory prose around an author's code samples. For the programmer who has the code but can't find the English words. Builds a single narrative thread, not standalone explanations — each explanation knows where the reader is on the learning climb.
