.claude/skills/notes/Scan chapters for inline editing notes and present them for processing. ## Note Format While reading your manuscript, add inline notes using Obsidian's comment syntax: ```markdown %%NOTE: observation or question%% %%EDIT: specific change needed%% %%CUT: text that should be removed%% %%CHECK: continuity or fact to verify%% ``` These are invisible in Obsidian's reading view but visible when editing. ## What This Does 1. Greps all chapter files for `%%.*%%` patterns 2. Extracts notes with chapter name and line number 3. Groups by type (EDIT, NOTE, CHECK, CUT) 4. Presents them for review or processing ## Usage ``` /fiction:notes # List all notes across chapters /fiction:notes 5 # List notes in chapter 5 only /fiction:notes --process # Work through notes one by one /fiction:notes --clear # Remove all processed notes ``` If arguments provided: $ARGUMENTS ## Output Format ```markdown ## Editing Notes ### EDIT (4 items) - **Chapter 2, line 3:** damp wool repeated - **Chapter 7, line 45:** awkward transition - **Chapter 12, line 88:** unclear antecedent - **Chapter 12, line 92:** word echo "silent/silence" ### CHECK (2 items) - **Chapter 2, line 21:** was this asked in ch1? - **Chapter 9, line 156:** timeline - is this before or after the party? ### NOTE (1 item) - **Chapter 15, line 200:** consider expanding this moment ### CUT (1 item) - **Chapter 3, line 67:** this paragraph feels redundant ``` ## Processing Modes ### List Mode (default) Shows all notes grouped by type. Good for getting an overview. ### Process Mode (`--process`) Works through notes one at a time: 1. Shows the note with surrounding context (5 lines before/after) 2. Offers options: Fix it, Skip, Delete note 3. For EDIT/CUT: suggests specific changes 4. For CHECK: investigates and reports findings 5. Removes the `%%marker%%` after processing ### Clear Mode (`--clear`) Removes all `%%.*%%` markers from chapters. Use after you've addressed everything. ## Whe
