# Command Reference Scriveno has **125 commands** organized into **14 categories**. Commands adapt automatically to your work type -- for example, `/scr:draft` talks about drafting a surah for Quranic commentary, an act for screenplays, and a section for research papers. Commands marked with **adaptive terminology** change how Scriveno talks about your work type's `command_unit` in `.manuscript/config.json`, while keeping the runnable command id stable. Commands marked with **group adaptation** have different labels for specific work type groups (academic, sacred, etc.). This page covers writer-facing `/scr:*` commands. Package-level audit commands live in the `scriveno` CLI: `scriveno status --project . --apply-safe`, `scriveno sync --check`, `scriveno smoke`, `scriveno agents`, and `scriveno routes`. See [Auto-Invoke Policy](auto-invoke-policy.md), [Runtime Support](runtime-support.md), and [Route Graph Audit](route-graph.md) for those surfaces. ## Table of Contents 1.

Every writing project follows this chain: new-work, discuss, plan, draft, editor-review, submit, complete-draft. ### `/scr:new-work` **Description:** Start a new creative work. Adaptive onboarding detects work type and generates tailored context files. **Usage:** `/scr:new-work [--quick] [--type ]` **Prerequisites:** None **Flags:** - `--quick` -- Skip questions 2-3, use defaults - `--type ` -- Skip the "what are you writing?" question **Example:** ``` /scr:new-work --type novel ``` Start a novel project. Scriveno asks your premise and whether you have existing material, then generates all context files. --- ### `/scr:discuss` **Description:** Shape the next unit before planning. Discuss the approach, voice, themes, open questions. **Usage:** `/scr:discuss [unit number, optional]` **Prerequisites:** OUTLINE.md must exist **Adaptive terminology:** Scriveno keeps the runnable command as `/scr:discuss` and frames the unit appropriately -- chapter (novel), act (screenplay), surah (Quranic), section (research paper) **Example:** ``` /scr:discuss 3 ``` Talk through Chapter 3 before planning it -- themes to explore, character arcs to advance, tone shifts to consider. --- ### `/scr:plan` **Description:** Research and plan the next unit. Produces a structured plan file the drafter agent uses. **Usage:** `/scr:plan [unit number, optional]` **Prerequisites:** Discussed unit context (`{N}-CONTEXT.md`) **Adaptive terminology:** Same pattern as discuss -- `/scr:plan` stays stable while Scriveno speaks in chapters, acts, surahs, and other unit labels **Example:** ``` /scr:plan 5 ``` Research and plan Chapter 5, producing plan files for each scene the drafter agent will use. --- ### `/scr:draft` **Description:** Draft the planned unit. Invokes the drafter agent in fresh context per atomic unit. **Usage:** `/scr:draft [unit number, optional]` **Prerequisites:** Plan files must exist in `.manuscript/plans/` (`{N}-*-PLAN.md`). Legacy root-level plan files are still accepted for older projects. **Adaptive terminology:** `/scr:draft` stays stable while Scriveno frames the work as drafting a chapter, act, surah, section, and so on **Example:** ``` /scr:draft 5 ``` Draft all scenes in Chapter 5. Each scene gets fresh context with STYLE-GUIDE.md loaded first to maintain your voice. --- ### `/scr:editor-review` **Description:** Walk the writer through editorial review, manage editor-writer collaboration workflow with proposal reviews, notes, and decision tracking. **Usage:** `/scr:editor-review [N] [--proposal | --notes | --respond ]` **Prerequisites:** Draft files must exist in `.manuscript/drafts/body/` (`{N}-*-DRAFT.md`) **Flags:** - `--proposal ` -- Review a specific editorial proposal - `--notes` -- View editor notes - `--respond ` -- Respond to an editor proposal **Group adaptation:** - Academic label: `peer-review` - Sacred label: `scholarly-review` **Example:** ``` /scr:editor-review 3 ``` Review the draft of unit 3 with your editor hat on. Scriveno highlights issues, suggests improvements, and tracks your decisions. --- ### `/scr:submit` **Description:** Package and finalize a unit after editor review. **Usage:** `/scr:submit [unit number]` **Prerequisites:** Review report must exist in `.manuscript/reviews/` (`{N}-REVIEW.md`). Legacy root-level `{N}-EDITOR-NOTES.md` is still accepted for older projects. **Adaptive terminology:** `/scr:submit` stays stable while Scriveno describes the current chapter, act, surah, or other unit being finalized **Example:** ``` /scr:submit 3 ``` Finalize Chapter 3 after editor review. Marks it as complete in the workflow. --- ### `/scr:proof-unit` **Description:** Run one manuscript unit through a proof path from voice profile to export readiness. **Usage:** `/scr:proof-unit [unit] [--demo] [--export-check]` **Prerequisites:** STYLE-GUIDE.md should be populated. If it is missing or still a template, run `/scr:profile-writer` first, then `/scr:voice-test`. **Flags:** - `--demo` -- Use the demo proof path when available - `--export-check` -- Run `/scr:export --check` after review to verify external tools **Example:** ``` /scr:proof-unit 3 --export-check ``` Prove one chapter through discuss, plan, draft, review, context health, and export-tool readiness without silently running a full publishing pipeline. --- ### `/scr:complete-draft` **Description:** Mark the entire manuscript draft as complete. **Usage:** `/scr:complete-draft` **Prerequisites:** All units must be submitted **Example:** ``` /scr:complete-draft ``` After all chapters are submitted, mark the full draft as complete. Unlocks publishing, export, and translation commands. --- ### `/scr:new-revision` **Description:** Start a new revision of the manuscript. Archives the current draft and begins a fresh pass. **Usage:** `/scr:new-revision` **Prerequisites:** Archived draft must exist **Example:** ``` /scr:new-revision ``` Archive the current draft and start revision 2. All drafts are preserved in the archive. --- ### `/scr:autopilot` **Description:** Run the full drafting pipeline autonomously. Choose guided, supervised, or full-auto profiles. **Usage:** `/scr:autopilot [--profile guided|supervised|full-auto] [--from ] [--to ] [--unit N] [--resume] [--matter ]` **Prerequisites:** None (recommended: run `/scr:profile-writer` first) **Flags:** - `--profile` -- Control level: `guided` (pauses for approval), `supervised` (pauses at milestones), `full-auto` (runs everything) - `--from` / `--to` -- Limit the pipeline stages - `--unit N` -- Start from a specific unit - `--resume` -- Continue from where autopilot left off - `--matter` -- After a full manuscript run, generate missing front and back matter through the dedicated matter commands. Defaults to `balanced`; use `skip` to opt out. **Example:** ``` /scr:autopilot --profile supervised --from plan --to draft ``` Run planning and drafting for all units, pausing at milestones for your review. When autopilot completes every unit through submit, it checks publication matter and invokes `/scr:front-matter --level ` and `/scr:back-matter --level ` for missing files. It does not run this phase for partial `--from` / `--to` runs and does not silently overwrite writer-authored matter. --- ### `/scr:cycle` **Description:** Run one unit through the full pipeline -- discuss, plan, draft, editor-review, line-edit, submit, save. Guided by default. **Usage:** `/scr:cycle [N] [--silent] [--from ]` **Prerequisites:** None (the unit must exist in your outline; the cycle runs each stage that is not yet done) **Flags:** - `--silent` -- Run all stages without pausing; the cycle still ends with a save. - `--from ` -- Resume the cycle at a named stage (`discuss`, `plan`, `draft`, `editor-review`, `line-edit`, `submit`, `save`). **Example:** ``` /scr:cycle 2 /scr:cycle 2 --silent /scr:cycle 2 --from draft ``` Take one unit all the way through discuss, plan, draft, editor-review, line-edit, submit, and save, pausing after each prose stage for approve/revise/stop. The single-unit, guided-by-default counterpart to `/scr:autopilot`, and the only pipeline command that ends with a save. Honors the `autosave` setting for extra checkpoints. --- ### `/scr:series-bible` **Description:** Create, view, or check the series bible -- a persistent cross-book knowledge base for multi-volume works (novel series, TV seasons, comic runs, sequel trilogies, multi-book commentaries). **Usage:** `/scr:series-bible [--init] [--import ] [--check] [--timeline] [--characters]` **Prerequisites:** None **Flags:** - `--init` -- Create a new series bible - `--import ` -- Import from an existing work - `--check` -- Verify consistency across volumes - `--timeline` -- Show series-wide timeline - `--characters` -- Show character appearances across volumes **Example:** ``` /scr:series-bible --init ``` Start a series bible for a trilogy.
