autonovel-grade

autonovel-grade is a skill for Claude Code from DukeTwoCan/autonovel-agent-skills. It costs 105 tokens per session (2,360 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A manual report tool for checking the quality of an Autonovel manuscript, meaning a long piece of fiction managed as chapters. It checks for mechanical writing problems and grades sentences within a selected chapter, chapter range or whole manuscript.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to grade a chapter, a range of chapters or an entire manuscript and produce a Markdown critique and slop report.
Why use it?
It gathers several checks into one written report, so you can review flagged passages before deciding what to fix yourself or give to another model.

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

autonovel-grade 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (lib/chunk_text.py, lib/genre_models.py, lib/genre_patterns.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 — 158 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Autonovel — Grade (user-triggered, manual quality report)

Run every mechanical slop detector plus the sentence-grading pass over a scope and write a self-contained report. This skill is user-triggered only — it is never part of the autopilot path, never invoked or waited on by the pipeline, and never invoked by any other skill.

When to use this skill

  • User says "grade chapter N", "grade the manuscript", "how sloppy is chapter N", or "give me a slop report"
  • User is reviewing the needs_attention queue in state.json (populated by the drafting skill's surgical-rewrite stall rule — see autonovel-drafting/references/retry-policy.md) and wants a detailed report on the flagged chapters before deciding whether to fix them by hand or hand them to a stronger model
  • Never invoked automatically — this skill only runs when the user asks for it directly

Prerequisites

!`test -d "$AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE/$NOVEL_SLUG/chapters" && ls "$AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE/$NOVEL_SLUG/chapters" | head`

The novel needs at least one drafted chapter.

Workflow

Step 1 — Resolve scope

The user supplies a scope: a chapter, a range, or "manuscript" for everything. Use autonovel-prose-review/references/scope-resolver.md (reference it, don't duplicate its logic) to map natural-language scopes to chapter ranges. If the scope is ambiguous, ask the user to clarify and show your interpretation before proceeding.

Step 2 — Check state.json for needs_attention

Read $AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE/$NOVEL_SLUG/state.json. If needs_attention is non-empty:

  • Any entry with a chapter number that falls inside the resolved scope must be covered in the report regardless of how it scores mechanically — call it out explicitly in the summary.
  • An entry with "chapter": null is a systemic pattern note (3+ consecutive chapters stalled during drafting). Surface its note text verbatim at the top of the report's Summary section — it usually points at an outline or foundation problem, not chapter-level slop, and the user needs to see it before reading chapter-level findings.
  • If the user's scope doesn't include a flagged chapter but needs_attention has entries, mention their existence and chapter numbers in passing so the user can re-run with a wider scope.

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.
