How the Skills Work Together

These skills form a pipeline. Run them in order for best results:

book-ideation
    → book-idea-validator  (optional but recommended)
    → book-market-research (optional but recommended)
    → book-architect
    → book-research-assistant
    → chapter-architect (run once per chapter)

Each skill produces a document that feeds into the next:

  1. book-ideation → Book Concept Document
  2. book-idea-validator → Validation Report (uses Book Concept Document)
  3. book-market-research → Market Research Report (uses Book Concept Document)
  4. book-architect → Master Architecture Document + Research Gaps Document
  5. book-research-assistant → Research synthesis (uses Architecture Documents)
  6. chapter-architect → Chapter Outline Document (uses Architecture Document, one chapter at a time)

You can start at any point in the pipeline if you already have the upstream documents.
