analytical-review

analytical-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from comfuture/novelist. It costs 132 tokens per session (2,129 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An independent editing guide for examining novel outlines, chapters, complete manuscripts, and earlier review results. It gives feedback without changing the story files during a review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for story critique, developmental editing, line editing, proofreading, full-manuscript checks, and checking whether earlier problems were fixed.
Why use it?
Authors can miss structural, wording, or continuity problems in their own work. A separate review helps identify issues before revisions are made.

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

analytical-review 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/inventory_review.py, tests/test_inventory_review.py, tests/test_skill_contract.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 246 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Analytical Review

Before running a bundled command, resolve <skill-dir> to the absolute directory containing this SKILL.md. Keep --project-root pointed at the active novel workspace, not at the skill or plugin installation.

Operating Contract

Adopt an independent reviewer role. Diagnose the work without changing it. Do not edit outlines, chapters, canon, the story ledger, or generated output during a review-only request.

If the author requests both review and revision, finish and present the diagnosis before applying selected findings. Use novel-story-telling for the revision phase and preserve finding IDs across the handoff.

Write all internal instructions, temporary schemas, and script inputs in English. Return the review in this order of precedence:

  1. the language explicitly requested by the author;
  2. project.md language;
  3. style/000.style-guide.md language;
  4. the dominant language of the reviewed source.

Localize report headings naturally while preserving the semantic section order defined in report-contract.md. For Korean output, use the canonical labels 작품 총평, 작품 검토, and 문면 교열.

Treat the current manuscript and review response as private runtime material. Use relative source anchors and only the shortest excerpt needed for evidence. Do not copy manuscript prose or review output into the project, plugin, examples, fixtures, or generated package. Save a report only when the author explicitly requests a file and confirms its destination.

1. Confirm Authorization, Mode, And Scope

Read review-modes.md. Select exactly one mode:

  • outline: planned story direction before prose exists;
  • chapter: one or more explicitly named Drafts;
  • manuscript: every numbered publishable chapter plus cross-chapter synthesis;
  • regression: bounded verification of earlier findings after revision.

Invoke this skill only when:

  • the author explicitly requests review, critique, line editing, proofreading, developmental feedback, or verification of prior findings; or
  • the author explicitly delegates the complete autonomous lifecycle from initial planning through final publication.

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
