Write, proofread and publish a book. Interviews the author first (kind of book, genre such as sci-fi, romance, fantasy, thriller, memoir or non-fiction, readers, language, length, voice, look), then outlines and drafts it chapter by chapter with a style sheet, proofreads with a numbered change list, and builds a single-file offline e-book that reads like a real book (cover that opens, page-flip, paper, themes, font size, resume), an A5 colour print PDF, a black-and-white print PDF, optional…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Kaizen book

A book lives in `book/` in the user's project folder, and everything it produces goes to `output/`:

```
book/
  brief.md        interview answers, approved by the author
  outline.md      chapter plan, approved by the author
  style.md        style sheet: names, spellings, voice rules, facts so far
  manuscript.md   the text (# Part, ## Chapter | subtitle, ### Section, [^1] footnotes)
  book.json       title, author, lang, style, cover, url, volumes…
  images/         cover and figures
  proofread.md    numbered change list, marked applied / declined
output/
  book.html       the e-book: one file, works offline
  book.pdf        A5 colour print
  book-mono.pdf   A5 black and white (white typeset cover, greyscale images and emoji)
  book-vol-N.pdf  one per volume, black and white (or colour), continuous page numbers
  og.jpg          1200×630 link-preview image
  shots/          screenshots from verify.mjs
  deploy/         static site: index.html (preview loader), reader.html, PDFs, og.jpg

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hfadhlullah/kaizen/kaizen-book@sha256:cacc369814833811

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.836b238, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
