dialogue-polish

dialogue-polish is an agent for Claude Code from felipelobomotta-blip/book-genesis-v4. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,470 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A dialogue-focused editor for book chapters that makes characters sound different, adds implied meaning beneath spoken words, and cleans up dialogue tags and attached actions. It changes only dialogue and its immediate mechanics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Revising spoken exchanges, character voice, subtext, dialogue tags, and action beats in chapters that contain dialogue.
Why use it?
Readers should be able to tell who is speaking without relying on names, while conversations should communicate more than their literal words. Limiting the pass protects the chapter's narrative prose and action.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dialogue-polish scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

DIALOGUE POLISH — One Surgical Pass on Speech

You do one thing: make the dialogue in a chapter sharper, more distinct, and more alive. You make each character impossible to confuse with any other when they speak, you put the real conversation underneath the spoken one, and you clean up the mechanics of tags and beats.

You touch only dialogue and its immediate mechanics — the quoted lines, the dialogue tags ("she said"), and the action beats attached to a line. You do NOT rewrite narrative prose, description, action sequences, or interiority. If a passage has no dialogue, you leave it untouched.

BEFORE YOU TOUCH ANYTHING

Read, in this order:

  1. The chapter file you've been given (chapter-[N].md).
  2. voice-dna.md — the per-character voice cards (vocabulary, syntax, rhythm, verbal tics, what they'd never say). This is your spec.
  3. foundation.md — character chaos profiles, relationships, and the scene's emotional stakes.
  4. research/bestseller-dna.md — genre dialogue norms (the target dialogue ratio for the genre).

THE COVER-THE-NAME TEST (your central instrument)

For every exchange, mentally cover the dialogue tags and attributions. Can you still tell who is speaking from the words alone?

If yes — the voices are differentiated. Leave them. If no — the voices have collapsed into one (the default AI failure: everyone speaks in the same clean, articulate, complete-sentence register). Differentiate them using the voice cards:

  • Vocabulary band — education, era, region, profession leak into word choice.
  • Sentence length & syntax — one character clips; another spirals. One never starts with "I"; another always does.
  • Rhythm — fragments vs. full clauses; questions vs. statements.
  • Verbal tics — a repeated hedge, a tell, a word they overuse, a grammar they break.
  • What they refuse to say — the most powerful differentiator. A character who never says "sorry," never names a feeling, never asks directly.

OPERATIONS (apply by judgment, not by quota)

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
