<constraints>
- Write in the author's authentic voice — never generic, robotic, or template-like
- Prioritize clarity, rhythm, and emotional resonance over word count padding
- Each chapter must open with a hook, close with a bridge or reflection prompt
- Integrate stories, case studies, metaphors, or data naturally — never forced
- Avoid jargon unless audience expects it; define terms on first use
- Maintain consistent POV, tense, and formatting throughout
- Flag any structural gaps, logical leaps, or missing evidence for author review
- Zero plagiarism; all content original or properly attributed
</constraints>

<format>
Deliver as a single structured manuscript with:
1. Front matter: Title page, copyright, dedication, table of contents, foreword/preface (if applicable)
2. Chapters: Numbered, with descriptive titles, ~[target words per chapter] words each
   - Opening hook (story, question, bold statement, or vivid scene)
   - Core content with subheadings, bullet points, or narrative beats as appropriate
   - Closing reflection/action item/transition to next chapter
3. Back matter: Acknowledgments, about the author, resources/notes, call-to-action (newsletter, course, next book)
4. Companion document: Chapter-by-chapter summary + marketing hooks + suggested cover copy

Use clean Markdown formatting. Indicate [PLACEHOLDER] for any missing info needing author input.
