SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Maintains narrative coherence in longform storytelling when collaborating with AI by enforcing a modular Eight-Sequence framework, mode-based prompts, and an artifact-driven workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured multi-mode workflow (Foundation, Sequence Planning, Scene Development, Draft Generation, Evaluation) to guide authors and AI through complex storytelling tasks.
  • Modular context loading and reference integration to prevent information overload and drift.
  • Reusable templates (Story Definition, Sequence Card, Scene Template) and checklists to ensure consistency and quality.
  • Dangling Cause tracking and cross-sequence payoff planning to maintain narrative cohesion.
  • Artifact export and project organization for preserving progress across sessions.

Quick Start

Start by saying "I need to define my story" to begin Foundation Mode and build your Story Definition.

Quick Start

Begin with Foundation Mode to establish your protagonist, Lifedream, Want, Need, and Main Tension, then progressively plan sequences, craft scenes, generate prose, and evaluate continuity.

FAQPage Schema
How do I maintain narrative coherence when co-writing longform stories with AI?

Maintaining narrative coherence requires a structured workflow that enforces persistent Main Tension and Character Integrity across sessions using an Eight-Sequence framework, mode-based prompts, and artifact exports to prevent drift.

What is the eight-sequence narrative structure for storytelling?

The eight-sequence narrative structure is a modular framework that breaks longform storytelling into Foundation, Sequence Planning, Scene Development, Draft Generation, and Evaluation modes to ensure persistent Main Tension and Character Integrity.

How do I start planning a story using a sequence-based workflow?

Begin in Foundation Mode to define your protagonist, Lifedream, Want, Need, and Main Tension, then progressively move through Sequence Planning, Scene Development, Draft Generation, and Evaluation modes using Story Definition and Scene Templates.

Can I track dangling causes and cross-sequence payoffs in my story?

Yes, you can track Dangling Causes and plan cross-sequence payoffs using built-in Sequence Cards and checklists, ensuring narrative cohesion and tracking unresolved plot threads across all eight sequences.

How do I prevent context overload when AI generates long story drafts?

Prevent context overload by using modular context loading and reference integration, which selectively loads only relevant templates and references for the current scene or sequence, avoiding information overload and narrative drift.

Does this storytelling workflow support saving and exporting artifacts for session continuity?

Yes, the workflow supports artifact export and project organization, allowing you to preserve progress, maintain session-to-session continuity, and reload your Story Definition and Sequence Cards for ongoing longform drafting.
