Subagents (11)

• adversarial-editor

  Use this agent when the user wants the case against their manuscript: the weakest page, the weakest scenes, the subplot that doesn't earn its place, the passage they love that may be self-indulgent, argued with evidence and no praise. It runs in a fresh context so it isn't grading its own work. <exa

• beta-reader

  Use this agent when the user wants reader-experience feedback (not an editor's technical critique) — what a target reader would feel, where they'd get bored, confused, or hooked, and whether they'd keep reading. <example> Context: The author has the first three chapters of a YA fantasy. user: "Would

• cold-reader

  Use this agent when the user wants to know how the book reads to someone who has seen nothing but the pages: no outline, no story bible, no synopsis. It reads the chapters in order, one at a time, and records after each what it predicts, what it wants to know, what confused it, where it drifted, and

  Use this agent when the user wants to check a manuscript for continuity errors — timeline, names, physical details, injuries, objects, world rules, magic or technology limits, and who-knows-what — against the story bible. <example> Context: The author has drafted 15 chapters. user: "Can you check my

  Use this agent when the user wants to know how far drafted chapters have drifted from their outline and scene cards, which changes are discoveries worth keeping and which are lost threads, and what later cards no longer fit as a result. <example> Context: The author drafted chapters 8–12 quickly and

• manuscript-editor

  Use this agent when the user wants a full developmental read of a manuscript or a large section (several chapters), an editorial letter, or a reverse outline and pacing map built from existing chapters. <example> Context: The author has finished a first draft saved as chapter files in manuscript/. u

  Use this agent when the user wants a finished manuscript prepared to a professional standard — standard manuscript format for agents and editors, a specific market's guidelines, or a publication-ready ebook or print interior — with a complete style sheet and consistent copyediting conventions. <exam

• manuscript-scanner

  Use this agent when the user wants an automated, evidence-based scan of a manuscript or chapter range — every Fiction Forge analysis tool run and the results combined into one prioritized diagnostic report — before an edit, a revision pass, or submission. <example> Context: The author has finished a

• novel-writer

  Use this agent when the user wants a chapter, a run of scenes, or a full draft section written in their voice from the story bible, outline, and scene cards, with the result self-checked and the bible updated afterward. <example> Context: The author has a story bible, an outline, and scene cards for

  Use this agent when the user wants a deep craft diagnosis of specific scenes or chapters — whether each scene works structurally, dramatically, and emotionally — with concrete fixes, and optionally a revised version. <example> Context: The author feels chapter 9 is flat. user: "Chapter 9 just isn't

• scene-injector

  Use this agent when the user describes a scene, event, or interaction they want added to the novel (or a change they want made to an existing scene) and wants it written in their voice and placed where it fits best, with continuity checked and the story bible updated. <example> Context: The author h
