Performs adversarial narrative analysis to identify deep-seated issues in fiction drafts across structure, character, and prose.

Prose Critique is a specialized tool for authors and editors using Claude Code to perform deep-dive evaluations of creative writing. Unlike standard AI feedback that often leans toward generic praise, this skill adopts an adversarial mindset to uncover what isn't working in a draft. It offers specialized resources for structure, character development, voice consistency, and prose quality, allowing users to calibrate the critique based on the draft's stage—whether it's an early structural draft or a late-stage polish. It even includes mechanical analysis for sentence variety and repetition, ensuring feedback is both qualitatively deep and quantitatively supported.
