- book_chapter.yml PASS 0: Reader Knows Rule box, outline truncated at chapter_number_next,
character state priority chain (RAG first, then prev-chapter traits, not final-book state)
- drafting.yml PASS 0: same rule applied, voice-only character profiles
- chapter_pass0_bible.yml (included by scifi/ya/romance/cozy genre templates): same fix
All three reference {chapter_number_prev}, {chapter_number_next}, {chapter_ref_prev}
which are now injected by OutlineSyncService.CreateChapterTaskAsync

CONTINUITY GUARDRAILS:
|
||
- Use ONLY the outline / character bible and the immediately previous chapter for continuity.
|
||
- Ignore future chapters, editorial reviews, roundtables, polish drafts, and any non-chapter artifacts.
|
||
- Never pull facts from a deliverable whose filename indicates a later chapter than {chapter_ref}.
|
||
|
||
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
|
||
║ THE READER KNOWS RULE ║
|
||
║ You may only use information established in chapters 1 through ║
|
||
║ {chapter_number}. Stop reading the outline at Chapter ║
|
||
║ {chapter_number_next}. Characters enter this chapter as they ║
|
||
║ left chapter {chapter_number_prev} -- not as they end at book ║
|
||
║ end. ║
|
||
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
|
||
|
||
STEP 1 — READ THE OUTLINE (chapters 1 through {chapter_number} ONLY):
|
||
Look at PROJECT DELIVERABLES for the outline file.
|
||
STOP at "Chapter {chapter_number_next}:" -- do NOT read beyond.
|
||
Extract and record:
|
||
- protagonist and supporting cast names
|
||
- world rules / constraints established SO FAR
|
||
- this chapter's summary, emotional beat, and closing hook from the outline
|
||
|
||
CHARACTER VOICE PROFILES (pre-extracted):
|
||
{character_profiles}
|
||
|
||
If this block is empty, search PROJECT DELIVERABLES for the outline file containing
|
||
"## Voice Signatures" and copy ONLY the voice/speech patterns here. Do NOT copy
|
||
arc resolution or end-state descriptions. PASS 1 must write every character
|
||
to their voice profile without exception.
|
||
|
||
STEP 2 — CHARACTER STATE (as of chapter {chapter_number_prev}):
|
||
Priority order:
|
||
1. RAG asset [character-state] — overrides everything. Record as "LIVE CHARACTER STATE:".
|
||
2. Established traits from the outline up to chapter {chapter_number_prev} only.
|
||
Ignore outcomes that happen in later chapters.
|
||
|
||
LOCATION CONTINUITY CHECK (if [character-state] is present):
|
||
Does this chapter's outline place any character at a location inconsistent
|
||
with their Location field in [character-state]?
|
||
If conflict found — FLAG before drafting:
|
||
"LOCATION CONFLICT: [char] is at [state-location] per last chapter but outline
|
||
places them at [outline-location]. Resolve by opening in transit or adjusting."
|
||
|
||
STEP 3 — FIND THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER:
|
||
Look at PROJECT DELIVERABLES for the chapter that comes BEFORE this one.
|
||
If no previous chapter exists (this IS Chapter 1), skip to STEP 5.
|
||
|
||
STEP 4 — QUOTE THE ENDING:
|
||
Copy the LAST 2–3 sentences of the previous chapter here, word for word.
|
||
Label them: "PREVIOUS CHAPTER ENDED WITH: ..."
|
||
Your new chapter MUST pick up from this exact moment.
|
||
|
||
STEP 5 — BUILD THE DRAFT PROMPT:
|
||
Write the exact drafting prompt for the next pass. That prompt must include:
|
||
- CHAPTER: Exact chapter number and title
|
||
- POV CHARACTER: Whose perspective are we in?
|
||
- FIRST LINE: The exact opening sentence, continuing from the previous ending
|
||
- EMOTIONAL ARC: What does the protagonist feel at start vs end OF THIS CHAPTER?
|
||
- CHAPTER GOAL: What plot event MUST happen here?
|
||
- KEY BEATS: 3–5 numbered scene beats that will form the chapter
|
||
- CLOSING HOOK: Exact last image or line that makes readers continue
|
||
- Reminders about continuity, prose style, and target length
|
||
|
||
Also note any Active obligations, Open loops, or Known secrets from [character-state]
|
||
that should be honored or advanced in this chapter.
|
||
Check RAG for [world-state] — current NPC attitudes and faction memory.
|
||
If present, record as "LIVE WORLD STATE:". NPCs listed there behave per their attitude.
|
||
|
||
Stop here. Output ONLY the draft prompt. Do NOT write chapter prose yet.

PASS 1 — WRITE THE DRAFT
|
||
|
||
Use the draft prompt below as your exact writing brief:
|
||
|
||
{steps[0].text}
|
||
|
||
Requirements:
|
||
- Start with the FIRST LINE you planned — make it continue naturally from the previous chapter
|
||
- If the draft prompt contains a line starting with "LOCKED PREVIOUS CHAPTER HOOK:",
|
||
your FIRST LINE MUST directly resolve that hook
|
||
- If the draft prompt contains "AUTHOR'S INTENT:", treat it as a binding directive
|
||
- Follow the KEY BEATS in order, but write with full scene depth
|
||
- All character names must be consistent with the bible/outline
|
||
- Every dialogue exchange must be tight and voice-distinct
|
||
- Show, don't tell — externalize emotion through action, detail, and dialogue
|
||
- Every scene beat moves the story forward OR reveals character
|
||
- End with the CLOSING HOOK you planned
|
||
- Match the prose style guide: {prose_style}
|
||
- Target length: {chapter_target_words} words — write the FULL chapter, not a summary
|
||
- ⚠️ DO NOT stop early. If under {chapter_target_words} words, continue with interiority,
|
||
sensory detail, extended dialogue beats, and transitions until hitting the target.
|
||
|
||
VOICE ANTI-PATTERNS — FORBIDDEN ON EVERY PAGE:
|
||
- Do NOT open with the "didn't just X; it Y" construction. Use varied openers.
|
||
- Thematic contrast appears max ONCE per scene as metaphor — not every paragraph.
|
||
- Do NOT label an emotion already shown through action or dialogue.
|
||
- Do NOT count or reference chapter numbers in the prose. "Five chapters of..." is an AI fingerprint.
|
||
- Each character must have at least ONE verbal imperfection per scene they appear in.
|
||
|
||
Output ONLY the draft chapter text.
|
||
Start directly with the chapter title and opening line. No commentary, no "Pass 1" label.

PASS 3 — CHARACTER + WORLD STATE EXTRACTION
|
||
|
||
You have just completed the chapter draft. Extract structured state for continuity tracking.
|
||
Write in compact format — this content is stored as a RAG asset read by the NEXT chapter.
|
||
Every character who appeared must have an entry.
|
||
|
||
OUTPUT FORMAT — write this EXACTLY, filling in real values:
|
||
|
||
# Character State: {chapter_ref}
|
||
|
||
## [Character Name]
|
||
Location: [specific location — building, floor, city — no vague "nearby"]
|
||
Physical: [injuries, fatigue, notable physical state, or "no injuries"]
|
||
Emotional: [dominant emotion at chapter end; what they carry into next chapter]
|
||
Active obligations: [debts/promises owed — format: "owes [person] [what] (Ch[N]) — UNPAID/PAID"]
|
||
Open loops: [unresolved conflicts — format: "[parties] [issue] (Ch[N]) — UNRESOLVED/RESOLVED"]
|
||
Known secrets: [info this character has that others don't — "knows [what] — [who does NOT know]"]
|
||
Arc: [XX%] — [one sentence: what permanently changed, or "no change"]
|
||
Permanent: [YES if something permanently changed (death, power gained/lost, relationship changed); NO otherwise]
|
||
|
||
(Repeat for EVERY named character who appeared in this chapter)
|
||
|
||
# World State: {chapter_ref}
|
||
|
||
## NPC Memory
|
||
- [NPC Name] ([faction/location]): [ATTITUDE] — [what happened] — [behavioral consequence]
|
||
|
||
## Faction Attitudes
|
||
- [Faction name]: [current attitude toward protagonists] — [reason]
|
||
|
||
## Active World Events
|
||
- [Event]: [status and expected timeline]
|
||
|
||
CRITICAL: Keep total output under 3500 characters. Be precise and specific.
|
||
Do NOT write prose — only the structured data above.
