book-writer

What problem does it solve?

Book authors and technical writers often spend excessive time coordinating drafting, polishing, and structuring large technical documents. This skill automates the end-to-end workflow for turning source material into structured Quarto-style documentation, with parallel supplement generation and rich callouts to keep content consistent.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Phase-based workflow: Phase 0 preparation, Phase 1 overview drafting (00-overview.qmd), Phase 2 parallel supplement generation, Phase 3 callout enhancement, Phase 4 index/qmd configuration, Phase 5 final checks.
• Parallel supplementation and cross-reference integration: Sub-agents generate additional context docs and integrate cross-references and callouts in the main document.
• Language support and repository discipline: Supports ja/ and en/ branches, with standardized file naming (00-overview.qmd, 01-xxx.qmd) and assets/references structure.
• Quality tooling and formatting: Includes scripts to fix box drawings and spacing, enforce formatting rules, and provide a clear workflow for QA.

Quick Start

• Provide a new book prompt specifying language and book name; the skill will scaffold ja/{book}/ with required files and starter content, then guide you through Phase 0–Phase 5 to produce a complete, linked document set.
