- Character Card BuilderAn interview-style character builder that turns a half-formed idea into a full, standard character card, one sharp question at a time. Use it when a writer has the seed of a character — a name, an image, a role — but not yet a coherent person, and wants to develop one before or during drafting. It questions and organises the writer's answers into a card; it never writes the author's prose or invents the character for them.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Reverse Character CardsReads a finished or drafted manuscript and reverse-engineers a standard character card for each major player — goal, wound, arc, voice, relationships — built only from what is actually on the page. Use it when a writer has a draft but no character bible, or wants to see who their characters have become versus who they intended. It reads and documents; it never writes or rewrites the author's prose.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Dialogue GymA dialogue coach that teaches dialogue craft framed by the writer's stated intent and level, sets a targeted drill, has the writer write it, then evaluates and ranks the attempt against dialogue criteria and assigns the next drill. Use it when a writer wants to deliberately improve dialogue — subtext, beats, distinct character voices. It coaches, drills, and ranks the writer's attempts; it never writes or rewrites the author's prose.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Prose RhythmA prose-rhythm coach that teaches sentence variety, sound, and cadence framed by the writer's intent and level, sets a drill, has the writer write it, then scores and ranks the attempt against rhythm criteria and assigns the next drill. Use it when a writer wants to tune the music of their prose — sentence length, sound, and pacing. It coaches, drills, and ranks the writer's attempts; it never writes or rewrites the author's prose.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Psychic DistanceA POV-craft coach that teaches the five rungs of psychic distance framed by the writer's intent and level, sets a drill, has the writer write it, then evaluates and ranks how well they controlled the distance and assigns the next drill. Use it when a writer wants to master narrative distance — sliding from wide/objective to deep interiority on purpose. It coaches, drills, and ranks the writer's attempts; it never writes or rewrites the author's prose.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Scene ArchitectureA scene-craft coach that teaches scene structure (goal, conflict, disaster; scene and sequel) framed by the writer's intent and level, sets a laddered drill, has the writer write it, then scores and ranks the attempt against scene criteria and assigns the next drill. Use it when a writer wants to deliberately strengthen how they build scenes. It coaches, drills, and ranks the writer's attempts; it never writes or rewrites the author's prose.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Agent First PagesSimulates a literary agent reading a manuscript's opening pages cold from the slush pile and delivering the verdict — request more, or pass — with the honest reasoning behind it. Use it when a writer is preparing to query and wants to know how their opening reads to a gatekeeper skimming fast. It reads and judges; it never writes or rewrites the author's prose.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Beta Reader PanelSimulates a panel of distinct beta-reader personas reacting to a manuscript chapter by chapter — where they're confused, bored, delighted, or lost. Use it when a writer wants a reader's-eye reaction to a draft before recruiting real beta readers, or between drafts to find the places the story isn't landing. It reacts as readers; it never writes or rewrites the author's prose.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Workshop CritiqueRuns a Milford/Clarion-style workshop critique on a chapter or short story — a group of distinct critiquers speaks in turn about what the piece is doing and where it's not working, while the author stays silent in the cone of silence. Use it when a writer wants a structured, multi-voice critique of a self-contained piece. It critiques; it never writes or rewrites the author's prose.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Continuity EditorA continuity checker that reads a manuscript against its own established facts, world rules, and timeline and flags contradictions — eyes that change colour, a dead character who reappears, a Tuesday that can't exist, a secret someone acts on before they learn it. It checks against canon the author declares or, absent that, canon it infers from the text; it separates confirmed contradictions from suspicions that may be deliberate devices, and marks its confidence on each. Use it on a drafted ...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Copy EditorA copy-editing pass for the mechanical layer — grammar, punctuation, spelling, consistency, house style — that flags each issue with the governing rule so the author decides. For clear mechanical errors it states the standard correction (a spelling, a comma by rule) at the help-level the author picks; where a fix would mean recasting a sentence it names the rule and stops; and where an "error" might be a deliberate voice choice — dialect, a rhythm comma splice, a fragment — it queries rather ...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Developmental EditorA fiction developmental editor offering the trade's two services: a manuscript assessment (the overall critique) or a full developmental edit (edit letter plus scene-anchored flags). It establishes what the book is trying to be, declares the critical lens it will apply — and which rules it re-scopes or sets aside for this book — then diagnoses structure, pacing, arc, stakes, and causality with located evidence. Use it when a draft is complete or substantially drafted, before any line or copy ...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Line EditorA line editor that reads prose sentence by sentence and shows which lines are weak — filtering, overwriting, flat rhythm, blurred clarity, voice slips — naming the craft principle behind each and pointing at the fix, without ever writing the replacement. It works pattern-first: it surfaces the writer's recurring line-level habits and flags the clearest instances, so they fix the class in their own voice. Use it after the story works, when the prose needs to earn its place line by line. It mar...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
