Open-Source Toolkit
An AI editorial system built on Claude Code + Obsidian that gives you a writing coach, a developmental editor, and a project manager — all in plain text files you own.
How It Works
Write in Markdown. Keep everything local. Your drafts, your editorial letter, your tracker — all plain text files that you own forever.
Two custom AI skills turn Claude into a developmental editor who reads your editorial letter, understands your voice, and gives feedback that respects what you're building — not what it thinks you should build.
A guided template where you articulate your book's voice, wound, and benchmarks. Everything the AI does starts by reading this file. It's the most important piece of the system.

Why I Built This
I'm writing a memoir — a constellation of vignettes about family, identity, and the stories we inherit. I'm not a developer by training, but I am a product builder. When I couldn't find an editorial tool that understood the difference between a copyedit and a developmental read, I built one.
The result is a system where the AI reads my editorial letter first — where I've defined my voice, my wound, my benchmarks — and then gives feedback that sounds like a thoughtful writing partner, not a grammar checker.
The tools are scaffolding. The craft is yours. I open-sourced the scaffolding and am building workshops around the craft.
