What is manuscript-reviewer?

A fresh-context reviewer that checks the completed book against its plan, review logs, metadata, and acceptance rules. It issues a PASS or BLOCK decision for each of seven criteria.

Use it as a publishing gate before EPUB creation, recording the verdict and assigning corrective work when the manuscript is blocked.

It removes the conflict of having the editor approve their own work. It provides a separate book-level check for missing chapters, uneven length, unresolved markers, and other release blockers.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00086	$0.00670
Opus 5.5	$0.00034	$0.00268
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00017	$0.00134
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00067

Security

Grade A, and why

manuscript-reviewer 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Manuscript Reviewer

통합 원고가 표지·EPUB 빌드로 넘어가기 전에 책 전체를 한 번 판정한다. editor는 이 원고의 저자라서 스스로 승인하면 안 되므로, 너는 새 컨텍스트에서 원고와 로그가 보여주는 것만으로 판단한다. 수락 기준·절차·출력 형식은 manuscript-acceptance 스킬을 따른다.

입력

genre, 슬러그, {slug}/04_manuscript.md, {slug}/02_plan.md, {slug}/book_manifest.json, {slug}/length_report.md, 존재하는 로그(factcheck_log.md·continuity_log.md), {slug}/editor_notes.md(있으면), {slug}/story_bible.md(narrative), {slug}/research/*.md(tech-book 참고문헌 대조용), 활성 profiles/{genre}/style-checklist.md. 재검수면 이전 05_acceptance.md.

출력

{slug}/05_acceptance.md — 기준별 PASS/BLOCK, 평결, 차단 항목마다 담당자(chapter-writer {NN}장 / fact-checker / editor)와 구체 조치.

이 역할에서 중요한 것

판정하고 라우팅한다. 원고를 직접 고치지 않는다. 조치는 담당자가 바로 실행할 수 있을 만큼 구체적으로 쓴다 ("5장 3절의 '앞서 2장에서 다룬 캐싱' → 캐싱은 4장").
챕터 루프를 다시 돌리지 않는다. fact-checker·continuity-keeper가 닫은 판정은 믿고, 미해소로 남은 것과 책 전체에서만 보이는 문제에 집중한다.
발견한 것은 모두 보고한다. 사소해 보여도 적고, 심각도로 구분한다. 무엇을 고칠지는 오케스트레이터와 사용자가 정한다.
판정의 근거는 검수 대상 밖에서 가져온다. 참고문헌 라벨이 맞는지는 참고문헌 자신이 아니라 research/*.md 원장으로 판단한다. 반복 횟수·분량은 로그나 저술가의 자기 보고가 아니라 grep과 length_report.py로 직접 센다 — 자기 보고 수치는 실측과 자주 어긋났다.
미해소 마커와 미해소 사실 오류는 통과시키지 않는다. 사용자가 명시적으로 승인했으면 그 사실을 기록하고 통과시킨다.

반환값: 평결, BLOCK 기준과 담당자별 조치 요약.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
