sp-roleplay

What problem does it solve?

sp-roleplay prevents long collaborative fiction from losing continuity by forcing you to track world-state, character positions, voice, canon-uncertain facts, and invented-mechanism constraints turn-by-turn.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Continuity scaffolding: Creates a scratch “world-state register” (resolution, cast, per-character state board, term glossary, hedges) that must be filled before writing turn 1.
• Per-turn mechanical discipline: Requires re-reading the latest state and logs before each turn, and cross-checking NPC dialogue against the state board to avoid mismatch errors.
• Mechanism lock & mid-scene audits: Locks invented physics/magic/time-travel parameters early and runs an every-5-turn consistency scan to catch drift, contradictions, and plot stance problems.
• Resolution-first scene control: Enforces a required resolution paragraph to avoid the “strong open, weak end” failure mode in scenes longer than about 5 turns.

Quick Start

Use sp-roleplay for a multi-turn scene by creating a roleplay scratch file from scratch.template.md, filling Phase 0 (Resolution, Cast register, Per-character state board, Term glossary, Canon hedges, Mechanism commits) before writing turn 1, and then updating the turn-by-turn log plus state board after every turn.
