Sprint 56h: evolving character sheets + reliable injection
- Split project.rag.md into 6 focused RAG files (voice-signatures, magic-system, story-premise, factions, character-state, world-state) - book_chapter.yml: PASS 0 STEP 5 replaced with live RAG character/world state check + location continuity validation; PASS 3 added for character+world state extraction after each chapter (rag_write -> character-state RAG + deliverable snapshot) - chapter_polish.yml: PASS state extraction after final document (full-mode canonical state) - book_outline.yml: added Factions section template with NPC memory model - NEW character_update.yml: permanent arc change template (updates static char profile) - chapter_review.yml: Sprint 56g voice authenticity fixes (fire/ice -> Body/Mind duality) Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

|

- CHARACTER VOICE PROFILES: Copy the "## Voice Signatures" section from the

Character Bible here verbatim. PASS 1 must write every character to their profile.
|

If no Voice Signatures section exists, omit this block.
|

|

STEP 5 — PREVIOUS CHAPTER CHARACTER STATE (if available):
|
||||
If context contains a block starting with "PREVIOUS CHAPTER CHARACTER STATE:",
|
||||
include it verbatim in the prompt under the heading:
|
||||
"CHARACTER CONTINUITY: The previous chapter ended with these character states:
|
||||
{prev_character_state}"
|
||||
These states override any outline prediction that conflicts with them — the character
|
||||
is ALREADY in this emotional/physical state at the start of this chapter.
|
||||
If no character state was provided, skip this block entirely.
|
||||
STEP 5 — CHECK LIVE CHARACTER STATE (if available):
|
||||
Look in your RAG context for an asset called [character-state].
|
||||
If it exists — this is WHERE and WHO each character is RIGHT NOW.
|
||||
It OVERRIDES any outline predictions about character state.
|
||||
Record as "LIVE CHARACTER STATE:" for use in PASS 1.
|
||||
|
||||
LOCATION CONTINUITY CHECK (perform this if [character-state] is present):
|
||||
Does this chapter's outline place any character at a location inconsistent
|
||||
with their Location field in [character-state]?
|
||||
Example conflict: character-state says "Earth hospital" but outline opens on Mars.
|
||||
If conflict found — FLAG before drafting:
|
||||
"LOCATION CONFLICT: [char] is at [state-location] per last chapter but outline
|
||||
places them at [outline-location]. Resolve: (a) open chapter in transit,
|
||||
(b) adjust scene to actual location, or (c) write a time-skip bridge paragraph.
|
||||
Do NOT silently teleport the character."
|
||||
|
||||
Also note any Active obligations, Open loops, or Known secrets from [character-state]
|
||||
that should be honored or advanced in this chapter.
|
||||
|
||||
Also check RAG for [world-state] — current NPC attitudes and faction memory.

||||
If present, record as "LIVE WORLD STATE:". Any NPC listed there who appears in
|
||||
this chapter should behave according to their recorded attitude.

VOICE ANTI-PATTERNS — THESE ARE FORBIDDEN ON EVERY PAGE:

- Do NOT open any chapter with the "didn't just X; it Y" sentence construction.

Every chapter must have a structurally distinct opener. Vary: in medias res,

quiet beat, dialogue cold open, environmental sweep, interiority.

No two consecutive chapters may use the same opener structure.

- The book's thematic contrast (whatever it is — body/mind, memory/possibility, etc.)

may appear ONCE per scene as a metaphor. Not in every paragraph. Trust the reader.
|

If you have used the contrast in the last two paragraphs, you may not use it again

- Do NOT label an emotion that you have already shown through action or dialogue.
|

If the character's hands are shaking, do not also write "she was afraid."

If the dialogue already conveys anger, do not add "his voice was furious."

"Five chapters of..." is an AI fingerprint. Never.
