Full three-tier research sweep for one chapter of The AI Exoskeleton book. Tier 1 raw platform sweep (Perplexity / HN with comment bodies / Reddit with post bodies / Grok x_search / Gemini grounded / shared Substack pool). Tier 2 open-ended discovery sweep ("surprise me") + firecrawl URL body extraction + per-URL sub-summaries. Tier 3 hybrid two-pass synthesis: Pass A (Sonnet, mechanical rollup) + Pass B (Opus, judgment synthesis) → raw-summary + discovery-summary + 1000+-line merged findings.md. Run before drafting any chapter. Floor: six Tier-1 files + three Tier-2 files + ≥15 URL bodies.

Run a Stage 5 voice-polish pass on a chapter of The AI Exoskeleton. Mechanical scan (em-dashes, banned words, sentence-length monotony, paragraph-rhythm uniformity, banned constructions, heavy-use content-word frequency) plus Opus judgment to fix violations in place at clause and sentence level. Produces review-work/NN-slug/06_voice_polish.md capturing every fix made and every flagged hit ruled context-justified. Strictly clause-and-sentence-level, never restructures the chapter. Grounded in voice.md and book-voice.md. Use after Stage 4 adversarial-reader convergence and before Stage 6 second red team. Runs inline on main-context Opus.

Run a multi-persona reader simulation on a drafted chapter of The AI Exoskeleton. Produces review-work/NN-slug/05_adversarial_reader.md capturing what each of five real audience personas thinks while reading — what convinces them, what loses them, what they would do on Monday morning. Different from book-red-team (which critiques argument and structure from editorial lenses); this skill simulates the actual readers the book is written for, including the hostile augmented-leadership reviewer the book argues against. Use after Stage 3 fact-check and before Stage 5 voice polish. Runs inline on main-context Opus.

Draft or revise a chapter of The AI Exoskeleton, grounded in canon files and source essays. Use when the user asks to draft, write, or revise a specific chapter by number or slug. Runs inline on main-context Opus (voice-sensitive work).

Assemble the full manuscript from chapters/ into a typeset PDF (and optionally EPUB). Use when the user asks to build the book, export the book, compile a draft, produce a readable copy, or ship the manuscript. Defaults to a DRAFT-watermarked preview build; will refuse to produce a ship build if any chapter is not ship-ready.

Fact-check a drafted chapter of The AI Exoskeleton against the chapter's research findings. Extracts every factual claim from the chapter, matches each to a source in research/<chapter-slug>/findings.md or research/source-index.md, and flags any claim that cannot be matched. Produces an assertion registry + an open-claims list per chapter. Use when a chapter draft exists and needs verification before it can be considered ready.

Run a structural and adversarial critique of a drafted chapter of The AI Exoskeleton. Two stages. Stage 2 (default) reviews early/mid drafts and produces review-work/NN-slug/04_red_team.md with weak arguments, unsupported load-bearing claims, structural issues, and counter-positions not yet engaged. Stage 6 reviews post-Stage-5 final-quality drafts as the last rigor gate before export, produces review-work/NN-slug/07_red_team_v2.md, and looks specifically for what slipped through six prior passes. Both stages run inline on main-context Opus.
