​
Built-in Commands

Currently, SoloEnt provides two official commands: /review and /marketing, each powering a specialized workflow designed by writing professionals.

​
/review - Quality Assurance

The /review command runs a multi-layered quality assurance process on your chapter:
  • Word count: Checks if chapter length matches your target
  • Outline alignment: Verifies the chapter follows your planned outline
  • Story continuity: Compares with story outline and act structure
  • Chapter flow: Checks consistency with previous chapter
  • Character integrity: Verifies characters act according to their profiles
  • World rules: Ensures no violations of established world-building
  • Style guide compliance: Checks against your stylistic guidelines (Section 5 of SOLOENT.md)
  • Character voice: Ensures characters speak and act consistently
  • Tone consistency: Verifies the chapter maintains the intended atmosphere
  • Hook quality: Ensures chapter ends with a compelling hook
  • Ending pitfalls: Flags repeated words, long inner monologues, or weak endings
  • Next chapter connection: Verifies smooth transition to next chapter
  • Originality check: Verifies text doesn’t reproduce copyrighted material
  • Repeated phrases: Detects overused words or phrases
  • Em dash overuse: Flags unnecessary em dash usage
  • List pattern abuse: Catches “word, word, word” patterns common in AI writing
We highly suggest you run /review after completing each chapter, before moving to the next. This catches issues early when they’re easier to fix.
Output: The Agent generates a detailed review report saved to: 
notes/review-chapter-{number}-{date}.md
The report includes:
  • Word count analysis
  • Outline alignment score
  • Context consistency findings
  • Character consistency check
  • Writing style assessment
  • Actionable revision suggestions

​
/marketing - Publishing Strategy

The /marketing command analyzes your completed manuscript and generates a comprehensive publishing strategy:
  • Primary genre: Identifies your book’s genre and subgenre
  • Word count: Calculates per-chapter and total word count
  • Market category: Determines MG/YA/Adult and Fiction/Non-fiction classification
  • Logline: Crafts a one-sentence hook for your story
  • Main selling points: Identifies unique elements that make your book marketable
  • Comparable titles: Suggests “comp titles” for query letters
  • Best-fit route: Traditional, Hybrid, Self-publishing, or Fandom platforms
  • Rationale: Explains why this route fits your manuscript
  • Target platforms: Specific publishers, imprints, or self-publishing platforms
  • Next steps: Query letter, editing needs, cover design, etc.
  • Comparable titles: Books similar to yours and their success metrics
  • Timeline: Expected timeline to publication
  • Budget: Estimated costs (for self-publishing or hybrid routes)
Run /marketing when your manuscript is complete or near-complete. This helps you plan your publishing strategy before diving into the query process.
Output: The Agent generates a marketing plan saved to: 
notes/marketing-plan-{date}.md

​
Command Workflow

Here’s what happens behind the scenes when you invoke a command:
1

Context Loading

The Agent reads relevant project files:
  • SOLOENT.md for project overview
  • Character profiles from characters/
  • World-building documents from world/
  • Your completed chapters
2

Workflow Execution

The Agent runs the pre-configured workflow with specialized prompts designed by writing professionals.
3

Analysis & Report Generation

The Agent analyzes your content and generates a structured report with findings and recommendations.
4

Save & Present

The report is saved to your notes/ directory, and key findings are presented to you in the chat.

​
Best Practices

Review Early, Review Often

Don’t wait until the end to run /review. Catching issues in Chapter 3 prevents cascading problems in Chapters 4-10.

Act on Feedback

Commands generate actionable suggestions. Implement the critical ones before moving forward.

Save Reports

All reports are saved to notes/ directory. Review them periodically to track improvement over time.

Iterate on Marketing

Run /marketing multiple times as your manuscript evolves. Your publishing strategy may shift as the story develops.

​
Example Usage

​
Running /review on Chapter 3

You type: 
/review Chapter 3
Agent responds:
Running comprehensive quality review on Chapter 3… Report saved to: notes/review-chapter-3-2026-02-20.md Key Findings:
  • ✅ Word count: 2,847 words (target: 2,500-3,000)
  • ✅ Outline alignment: All key beats hit
  • ⚠️ Style issue: Detected 8 instances of em dash overuse
  • ⚠️ Consistency issue: Character “Sarah” speaks formally in this chapter but was casual in Chapter 2
  • ❌ Ending: Current ending is weak—no clear hook for Chapter 4
Revision Suggestions:
  1. Replace 6 of the 8 em dashes with periods or commas
  2. Revise Sarah’s dialogue to match her casual voice from Chapter 2
