Review chapters using the chapter-reviewer agent.
What This Does
- •Identifies the chapter(s) to review
- •Gathers necessary context (character docs, previous chapter, project tone)
- •Runs a thorough review checking:
- •Coherence
- •Cheesiness
- •Consistency
- •Pace
- •Tone
- •Character voice
- •Provides specific feedback with suggested rewrites
- •Offers to apply rewrites and output revised chapter
Usage
code
/fiction:review # Review most recent chapter /fiction:review 5 # Review chapter 5 /fiction:review all # Review all drafted chapters /fiction:review 3-7 # Review chapters 3 through 7 /fiction:review chapters/08.md # Review specific file

Parallel Processing (Important for Large Manuscripts)
When reviewing multiple chapters ("all" or a range), spawn chapter-reviewer agents in parallel for efficiency:
- •Identify all chapters to review
- •Load shared context once (character docs, tone guide, project README)
- •Launch one chapter-reviewer agent per chapter using the Task tool
- •Pass shared context + specific chapter + previous chapter to each agent
- •Each agent reviews independently, produces verdict + issues
- •Aggregate results: compile verdicts, flag cross-chapter patterns
- •Update
progress.mdwith all review results
Example parallel approach for /fiction:review all with 20 chapters:
- •Spawn 20 chapter-reviewer agents in a single message
- •Each receives: its chapter, previous chapter (for continuity), shared context
- •Agents run concurrently
- •Main conversation aggregates verdicts and highlights patterns
- •Total time ~ time for 1-2 chapters instead of 20x
How It Works (Single Chapter)
If no chapter is specified:
- •Check conversation history for recently written/discussed chapter
- •Or find the most recently modified chapter file in the project
- •Or ask the user which chapter to review
The review includes:
- •What works (with specific quotes)
- •What needs work (with suggested rewrites)
- •Continuity flags
- •Verdict (ready to move on / needs revision)
After Review
If issues are found, you'll be asked: "Would you like me to apply these rewrites and output the revised chapter?"
Say yes to get the complete revised chapter with all changes applied.
