story-review

story-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Natsummerance/readMD. It costs 43 tokens per session (409 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of story-review, MIT.

An analytical review guide for prose that already exists, covering structure, writing style, correctness, continuity, voice, and proofreading. It is for diagnosing a draft rather than rewriting it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a story or book at the appropriate level, from overall structure and character development to line editing, copyediting, proofreading, and reader-response analysis.
Why use it?
Writers may need to know what kind of revision a draft requires before changing sentences. This separates large structural problems from later wording, grammar, and spelling checks.

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

story-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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (resources/prose-critique/analyze.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.

What it actually says

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.

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.
