# Book Genesis
Book Genesis is Felipe's local book-production pipeline adapted for Codex. It uses the newer `book-genesis-codex` core as the canonical workflow.
Use this skill for:
- fiction, memoir, nonfiction, or hybrid book projects
- turning a rough idea into a structured book
- drafting full manuscripts chapter by chapter
- auditing AI-written prose and narrative structure
- producing Genesis Score evaluations
- creating synopses, cover briefs, launch/editorial packages, and formatting handoff notes
Do not use the legacy V4 17-phase workflow as the default. It is copied only for historical reference in `references/legacy-v4-book-genesis.md`.
## Core Rule
Persist important decisions to files. A Book Genesis run should leave a durable project tree, not just chat output.
Commercial-length is a hard contract, not a preference. A manuscript cannot be called complete, final-scored as publication-ready, or packaged for a bestseller/public launch unless it either:
- meets the genre/audience `target_floor_words` recorded in `PROJECT_STATE.yaml`, or
- is explicitly positioned from intake as a novella, short novel, or serial installment.
If no explicit short-form positioning exists, default to full-length commercial book standards.
Default project layout:
```text
<project>/
PROJECT_STATE.yaml
ASSUMPTIONS.md
artifacts/
manuscript/
chapters/
evaluations/
delivery/
```
