What this book is

Where it is up to

python3 scripts/book.py status

Layout

PathWhat lives there
book.tomlStructure, status, continuity keys — the single source of truth
spec/The brief as given, the interview that filled its gaps, the settled spec
guides/Prose style guide and graphics style guide — binding on every agent
outline/The plan and per-chapter briefs. Never ships.
manuscript/Drafted chapters, one file each
research/Research notes and the source register
graphics/Figure specs, generated assets, diagram sources
review/Findings from the review team
typeset/Body typesetting profiles and templates
dist/Assembled manuscript and production handoff metadata

Building

python3 scripts/book.py lint --strict
python3 scripts/book.py assemble

Print geometry is not built here. dist/manuscript.json hands off to the plugin named in [production] handoff.

How this was made

Written with the book-writing Claude Code plugin, from the Claude-Book-Workspace-Template. The pattern is documented at Agentic-Book-Writing.
