A chapter-quality checker and editing workflow for completed fiction chapters. It checks for writing patterns, awkward translated-sounding prose, emotional issues, fragments, consistency problems, and style issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect and polish a finished chapter, make dialogue feel less artificial, remove unnecessary details, and check names, timelines, transitions, and setting conflicts.
Why use it?
It finds common weaknesses and guides targeted rewrites while keeping the chapter’s main meaning and structure.

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00063 $0.00993
Opus 5 $0.00032 $0.00496

Security

Grade A, and why

novel-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.

What it actually says

章节润色

对已完成的 正文.md 做四轮质量把关:工具检测 → AI味修复 → 一致性校验 → 独立润色。

第一步:定位章节

读取用户指定的章节正文。无参数时默认取最新完成的章节。

第二步:自动化工具链

依次运行以下工具,每个工具报告违规项:

python3 tools/ai_pattern_checker.py <正文文件>
python3 tools/translationese_checker.py <正文文件>
python3 tools/emotion_checker.py <正文文件>
python3 tools/fragment_checker.py <正文文件>

工具全部通过 → 跳过第三步,直接进入第四步。

工具有违规 → 记录违规项,进入第三步针对性修复。

第三步:AI 味修复

仅针对第二步工具报告的违规项 + 以下两项 LLM 专项检测:

3.1 对话失真检测

检查对话是否过于客气、理性或功能性。特征:

  • 角色像在开会而非在冲突
  • 互相讲解设定(信息灌输式对话)
  • 缺少攻击性和火气

修复策略:

  • 插入打断、反问或攻击性短句
  • 把设定解释改成行动后果
  • 给角色加非理性反应(偏执、赌气、装傻)

3.2 无功能细节检测

检查不承担叙事功能的微动作和声音描写。特征:

  • 声音描写反复出现但不是关键信息
  • 嘴角上扬、手指敲击等微动作偷渡情绪
  • 删掉对剧情推进无影响

修复策略:

  • 删除无功能细节
  • 改成角色态度判断
  • 改成对话或行动

3.3 工具违规项修复

根据工具报告的具体违规位置和类型,联系前后句整句重写,不做局部换词。修复原则参考 references/fix-guide.md

第四步:一致性校验

调用 consistency-guard agent,检查称谓、时间线、承接、设定冲突。局部修补,不重做结构。

第五步:独立润色

references/polish-rules.md,按 5 条原则对整章做文风转换。不大幅改字数,不改变核心表意。

第六步:闸门自检

对最终正文做定量自查:

# 检查项 通过标准 方式
破折号 引号外 —— ≤ 1 人工
形容词+冒号 的是:之处: 人工
句号碎片 非对话连续短句 ≤ 3 脚本
纠正句式 无连续使用 人工
过渡词 最终/总之/综上所述 开头段落 人工

③ 必须脚本验证

python3 tools/fragment_checker.py <正文文件路径> --threshold 3

退出码为 0 才通过。不过则修复后重跑,直到通过。

闸门全部通过后写回 正文.md

输出

润色完成后的 正文.md(原地覆盖)。

提示用户:确认后运行 novel-sync。

禁止

  • 大幅改字数或改变核心表意
  • 发现结构问题时在正文阶段硬修——回 novel-discuss 改事件卡
  • 借一致性修补名义重做结构
  • 跳过 fragment_checker 脚本验证
Files

What ships with it

2 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.
