Creates a full‑length family history manuscript for genealogists who have compiled an ancestry spreadsheet and want a polished, citation‑rich book ready for printing or sharing. Deliverable: PDF book (A5 size, printable) + editable DOCX source, with a Title page, Preface, Generational Chapters, Historical Context sidebars, and a Source Appendix (APA style). Approx. 150‑300 pages depending on data volume. Rigor: Applies standard genealogical narrative conventions: chronological generational chapters, inclusion of relevant historical events, APA‑style footnotes for each fact, pedigree chart placeholders, and a bibliography compiled from source citations. Enforces name‑spelling consistency and verifies date ranges against known historical timelines. Edge: Unlike a single‑line prompt that only drafts a paragraph, this skill delivers a complete, professionally formatted book with citations, chapter structure, and editable source files, saving weeks of manual formatting and research documentation.
