Story Review

Analytical review of existing prose. This skill is for diagnosis, not rewriting. Keep

/reader-sim

separate when the task needs a felt first-time reader experience rather than analytical critique.

Choose the review level before reading. Start big before small unless the caller explicitly asks for a late-stage pass. The edit levels move from structural to surface, and each assumes the levels above it are stable:

Editorial review — holistic third-party book-editor pass. What kind of revision does this draft need, and in what order?
Developmental edit — structure, promise, causality, pacing, character arc. Is the draft the right shape?
Line edit — voice, rhythm, clarity, texture. Does the prose move well?
Copyedit — grammar, usage, punctuation, consistency. Is it correct?
Proofreading — final surface pass. What slipped through?

Each level has a dedicated resource with method and checklist:

```
resources/editorial-review.md
```
```
resources/developmental-edit.md
```
```
resources/line-edit.md
```
```
resources/copyedit.md
```
```
resources/proofreading.md
```

For adversarial craft critique (as opposed to editorial review), load:

```
resources/prose-critique.md
```
— methodology and focus-area routing.
```
resources/prose-critique/
```
— deep resources per focus area (structure, character, voice, prose, continuity).

When review incorporates reader-sim data:

```
resources/reader-sim-signal.md
```
— how to interpret and synthesize reader-sim output alongside analytical critique.
