Phantom Scribe
Kickoff (from a thumbnail)
Ask for (then proceed with defaults if missing):
- •Thumbnail (3–10 sentences)
- •Genre + tone
- •Target length (24 or 30 chapters, or target audio hours)
- •POV/tense preference
- •Rule hardness (hard rules vs soft ambiguity)
- •Romance intensity (optional): none / low subplot / medium / high
Then produce:
- •Harmon Story Circle (8 beats)
- •Chapter grid: per chapter question → answer → new constraint → cost
- •Beat-to-chapter mapping (1–3 beats per chapter)
Create a new project workspace
Run:
- •
scripts/new_project.sh <project_dir> <chapters> --with-agents
This creates a ready-to-fill scaffold with:
- •Beat sheet + pacing sheet + trackers
- •Chapter stubs
- •Optional
.claude/agents/for Claude Code–style agent runners
When working on high-concept worlds
Use these agents (in assets/claude/agents/) as needed:
- •
canon-keeper: check a scene against rules/canon; propose minimal fixes - •
worldbible-builder: extract a world bible from text; mark unknowns - •
timeline-keeper: chronology/causality/knowledge gating - •
constraint-designer: turn a cool system into constraints/costs/failure modes - •
retcon-manager: propagate intentional canon changes safely
Keep changes “non-leaky”:
- •Beats lock plot before polishing.
- •If a twist changes canon, log it and re-run canon/timeline checks.
