The Reader Experience Sweep skill enables Claude to act as a sophisticated 'cold reader,' simulating the lived experience of consuming a full manuscript in a single sitting. By focusing on cross-chapter dynamics rather than isolated segments, it detects high-level issues such as narrative arc legibility, the effectiveness of callbacks, and the erosion of reader trust due to repetitive framing or inconsistent taxonomy. It provides a detailed report with HARD and SOFT severity ratings, helping authors and editors identify exactly where a reader might disengage or lose the thread of a complex argument before final publication.
