SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Book Genesis acts as the master orchestrator for a full manuscript pipeline, coordinating specialized skills, enforcing quality gates, and maintaining project state to turn a single idea into a publish-ready book without the writer composing prose directly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Initialize and maintain project state (STATE.yaml), dispatch skills in the correct order, enforce gates between phases, track decisions, scores, and progress, and integrate human feedback into the workflow.
  • Manage a 17-phase pipeline (research to delivery) with explicit phases for disruption, entity tracking, continuity checks, and macro evaluations to ensure continuity and quality.
  • Use cases include end-to-end manuscript production, governance of revisions and packaging, and automated governance for large writing projects where writers focus on prose while the orchestrator handles process and quality.

Quick Start

Create a new Book Genesis project using the prescribed directory structure and launch the 17-phase pipeline from an initial idea.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate an end-to-end manuscript pipeline from an initial idea?▼

To automate an end-to-end manuscript pipeline, you need an orchestrator that manages project state, dispatches specialized skills in sequence, and enforces quality gates between phases. This coordinates the entire book production workflow from research to final delivery without requiring direct prose composition.

What is state management for a multi-phase book production workflow?▼

State management for book production involves initializing and maintaining a project state file to track decisions, scores, and progress across a 17-phase pipeline. It ensures continuity and quality by gating progression and integrating human feedback between distinct phases.

How do I enforce quality gates and continuity checks during book writing?▼

You enforce quality gates and continuity checks by using an orchestrator that applies phase-by-phase evaluation and risk management. It tracks entities and performs continuity sweeps between pipeline phases, ensuring manuscript quality before allowing progression to subsequent stages.

Can I use an automated orchestrator for large scale writing projects?▼

Yes, an automated orchestrator suits large writing projects by governing revisions, packaging, and end-to-end production. It manages phase disruption, macro evaluations, and decision tracking, allowing writers to focus purely on prose while the system handles process governance.

What is the best way to track decisions and integrate human feedback in a publishing pipeline?▼

The best way to track decisions and integrate human feedback in a publishing pipeline is through a centralized state management system. It logs progress and scores while sweeping for continuity, systematically incorporating feedback into the gated workflow before advancing phases.
