Authoring Cookbooks

Diagnose cookbook quality. Fix one state at a time. Do not rewrite a whole book in one pass.

Core principle

Every structural choice must reduce the reader's load, not the author's writing effort.

ID	Name	Symptom
AC1	Structure Void	Noun titles, no TOC, dense prose
AC2	Buried Takeaways	Conclusion comes after long setup
AC3	Parsing Tax	Long left-branching sentences
AC4	Consistency Breaks	Same idea named two ways
AC5	Expertise Gap	Jargon and missing prerequisites
AC6	Fragile Examples	Examples need extra pages or secrets
AC7	Priority Inversion	Rare cases documented, common ones missing
