Open Source Book Genesis: 20 Claude Code Skills for Autonomous Book Writing
Book Genesis is an open-source system of 20 specialized Claude Code skills that autonomously produces complete, publish-ready manuscripts from a single idea.
Key Details
The system operates through a 14-phase autonomous pipeline that handles research, character development, writing, evaluation, and revision. It includes several specific features:
- Chaos Engine: A skill designed to break AI predictability patterns between phases
- Genesis Score V3.7: A scoring system calibrated against 15 bestsellers representing over 350 million copies sold
- Anti-AI patterns: 20 techniques to make the output read as if written by a human
- Editorial package: Generates synopsis, query letter, and back-cover copy alongside the manuscript
The system has produced a 68,000-word memoir that scored 9.0/10 on the Genesis Score. A publishing consultant reviewed it blind and reported that the voice felt genuinely human.
How to Use
To run the system, use the following command in Claude:
/book-auto en "your book idea here"This command runs all 14 phases autonomously, pausing three times for user approval. Everything else is automatic.
