authors-voice

This skill owns prose formation and prose audit only. It does not own dramatic design, canon, or lifecycle policy.

Shared contract

Write clear, scene-first, phone-readable genre prose. The author stays invisible; literal action stays clear; close POV stays close; sincere emotion arrives through behaviour and choice; genre pleasure stays intact; ordinary language is allowed whenever it serves the scene.

Composition mode

Load references/compose.md and the story-engine generation packet.

Do not load the rule registry while composing.

Do not load references/audit.md in composition mode.

Audit mode

After a complete draft, start a fresh context and load references/audit.md to review the final prose.

If the audit finds material issues, repair only the accepted findings, then rerun audit on the materially changed passages.

If a finding is structural, route it to story-engine. If it is canon, knowledge, or spoiler handling, route it to serial-process. If it is about prose texture or line-level delivery, keep it here.

References

• Composition only: references/compose.md.
• Audit only: references/audit.md and references/rule-registry.md.
• Evidence only: references/michaels-voice-notes.md is immutable raw calibration evidence and worked examples; do not pull it into composition by default.
