Core Lens
核心视角
Production begins after the manuscript's big-picture structure, promise, and reader value are mostly working. These tasks are predictable and solvable, but doing them too early wastes effort because beta feedback may still reshape the book.
Use this skill to plan or audit:
- Copyediting.
- Final review readers.
- Proofreading.
- Interior layout.
- Cover file requirements.
- Print-on-demand and retailer setup.
- ISBN decisions.
- Final PDF/page checks.
当手稿的整体结构、核心价值和读者吸引力基本确定后，就可以进入制作阶段。这些任务具有可预测性和可解决性，但过早开展会浪费精力，因为试读反馈可能仍会改变书籍的内容。
使用本技能来规划或审核以下内容：
- 文字编辑
- 终稿审阅
- 校对
- 内页版式设计
- 封面文件要求
- 按需印刷与零售商设置
- ISBN决策
- 最终PDF/页面检查

Workflow
工作流程
1. Confirm The Manuscript Is Ready For Production
1. 确认手稿已准备好进入制作阶段
Check that:
- Beta readers have validated desire, effectiveness, and engagement.
- Remaining issues are mostly polish, accuracy, layout, or packaging.
- The author is not using production work to avoid structural revision.
检查以下事项：
- 试读读者已验证书籍的吸引力、实用性和可读性
- 剩余问题大多是润色、准确性、版式或包装方面的
- 作者并非通过制作工作来回避结构修改
2. Sequence The Work
2. 安排任务顺序
Recommended order:
- Final structural review or developmental review if still needed.
- Copyedit for clarity, concision, and sentence-level quality.
- Expert, sensitivity, legal, or influential review where relevant.
- Proofread.
- Interior layout for ebook, paperback, hardback, or PDF.
- Cover files for each format.
- Print-on-demand, retailer, ISBN, and metadata setup.
- Final PDF/page review.
推荐顺序：
- 若仍有需要，先进行最终结构审查或发展性审查
- 进行文字编辑，提升内容的清晰度、简洁性和语句质量
- 必要时进行专业、敏感性、法律或影响力相关的审查
- 校对
- 针对电子书、平装书、精装书或PDF进行内页版式设计
- 制作各格式的封面文件
- 完成按需印刷、零售商、ISBN及元数据设置
- 最终PDF/页面审查
3. Verify Current Production Requirements
3. 核实当前制作要求
Before giving precise setup instructions, verify current requirements from the relevant platform or vendor. KDP, IngramSpark, ISBN agencies, cover dimensions, trim rules, file formats, and royalty terms can change.
给出具体设置说明前，请核实相关平台或供应商的当前要求。KDP、IngramSpark、ISBN机构、封面尺寸、裁切规则、文件格式和版税条款可能会发生变化。
4. Return A Practical Checklist
4. 返回实用检查清单
Return:
- Production-readiness diagnosis.
- Ordered task plan.
- Tasks to hire vs do yourself.
- Platform-specific checks that need current verification.
- Final quality gates.
返回内容包括：
- 制作准备情况诊断
- 有序的任务计划
- 需外包 vs 自行完成的任务
- 需要核实当前要求的平台特定检查项
- 最终质量关卡
Quality Bar
质量标准
Keep production advice specific enough to execute but conservative about platform details. Never let formatting, cover, or upload work start before the manuscript is structurally ready unless the user explicitly accepts the rework risk.
提供的制作建议需具体到可执行，但对平台细节的建议要谨慎。除非用户明确接受返工风险，否则绝不能在手稿结构确定前开始格式设置、封面制作或上传工作。
