From hebrew-book-producer
Bridge skill that loads the AUTHOR'S CURATED KNOWLEDGE LAYER from CandleKeep at session start — Writer's Guide (King/Zinsser/Penn/Shapiro), Agent-Team guide, the author's per-project thesis notebook (optional), and any craft_extras the author lists in book.yaml. NOT used for canonical religious texts — those go through Sefaria. Caches everything under .ctx/ so all editing agents share one read.

/hebrew-book-producer:candlekeep-writers-guideThe summary Claude sees in its skill listing — used to decide when to auto-load this skill
- Once per session, at the start. The CLAUDE.md loads this skill via `scripts/load-candlekeep-guide.sh`.
scripts/load-candlekeep-guide.sh./help writers-guide.Runs (delegated to scripts/load-candlekeep-guide.sh):

The third item is the shared Hebrew Linguistic Reference book (id cmomjonvy0fdmk30zwef79c48) — synced from the public GitHub repo yodem/hebrew-linguistics-data. It is also consumed by the academic-writer plugin so the two plugins share one source of truth for Hebrew editorial knowledge.
If ck is not on PATH, or the item is not accessible, write a minimal stub to .ctx/writers-guide.md:
# Writer's Guide — STUB
CandleKeep is not available. The plugin runs in degraded mode without
craft references. Install CandleKeep CLI and run `ck auth login` to enable.
