"task": "e.g. Copyedit the whole manuscript; the timeline in part two worries me, so check that especially.",
"files": "Add the manuscript as one file, or as chapter files named so their order is clear (ch01.md, ch02.md). A .docx or PDF works but arrives as plain text, so italics used for thought or emphasis may be lost.",
"prepare": [
"The manuscript file, or its chapter files together.",
"Any outline, style sheet or series bible you want the logic notes checked against.",
"Anything you want left alone, such as dialect or an invented spelling, named in the task text.",
"A note of how deep you want the edit, and US or UK spellings, if you have a preference."
],
"overview": "Reads your manuscript in full, then returns two things: a clean edited copy with grammar, spelling, punctuation and surface consistency fixed in place, and a separate set of notes on logic problems in the story (contradictions, timeline slips, characters knowing what they cannot know, props and travel that do not hold, broken rules of the invented world, point-of-view breaks). Each note quotes the passages that clash, says which chapter they are in, and asks a question rather than rewriting your story. The notes also list the style sheet the edit applied, the deliberate rough writing it left alone, and every change beyond a typo so you can audit the edit."
