PASS 0 — BIBLE & CONTINUITY PLAN (produce a PLAN only — do NOT write chapter prose yet)
|
||
|
||
GENRE: {genre_name} | AUDIENCE: {genre_audience}
|
||
PROSE STYLE GUIDE: {prose_style}
|
||
TARGET CHAPTER LENGTH: ~{chapter_target_words} words
|
||
|
||
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}.
|
||
|
||
⚠️ CRITICAL: Your task name tells you EXACTLY which chapter to write.
|
||
Look at the CURRENT MESSAGE — write THAT chapter and ONLY that chapter.
|
||
Do NOT write Chapter 1 unless the message explicitly says "Chapter 1".
|
||
|
||
STEP 1 — READ THE OUTLINE / CHARACTER BIBLE:
|
||
Look at PROJECT DELIVERABLES for the outline file (it contains the Character Bible
|
||
if this is a fiction project, and the Chapter Outline for all projects).
|
||
Extract and record:
|
||
- Protagonist: exact name, voice description, age (if fiction)
|
||
- Love interest and supporting characters: exact names and roles (if fiction)
|
||
- World rules / constraints (if paranormal or speculative)
|
||
- This chapter's summary, emotional beat, and closing hook from the outline
|
||
If no outline/bible is available, use the character names and project details
|
||
from the task description above — be CONSISTENT throughout the book.
|
||
|
||
STEP 2 — 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 4.
|
||
|
||
STEP 3 — 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 4 — CHAPTER PLAN:
|
||
State your plan — do NOT write prose yet:
|
||
- CHAPTER: Exact chapter number and title (from the task message)
|
||
- 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?
|
||
- 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
|
||
|
||
Stop here. Output ONLY the plan above. The full chapter will be written next.

||

model: power
|
||
hint: |
|
||
PASS 1 — WRITE THE FULL CHAPTER
|
||
|
||
Using the plan from your previous step, write the complete chapter now.
|
||
|
||
Requirements:
|
||
- Start with the FIRST LINE you planned — make it continue naturally from the previous chapter
|
||
- Follow the KEY BEATS in order, but write with full scene depth — don't skip
|
||
- 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 (no filler)
|
||
- 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 you have not reached {chapter_target_words} words, continue
|
||
writing — add interiority, sensory detail, extended dialogue beats, and scene transitions
|
||
until you hit the target. Short chapters will be REJECTED in adjudication.
|
||
|
||
Output ONLY the polished chapter text.
|
||
Start directly with the chapter title (e.g., "Chapter N: [Title]") and opening line.
|
||
No commentary, no plan headers, no "Pass 1" label.

hint: |

The chapter has been written and committed.
|
||
|
||
CRITICAL — include the `chapter_text` field:
|
||
Copy the COMPLETE chapter text you just wrote into the `chapter_text` field.
|
||
Reviewers have NO other way to access the chapter content.
|
||
Do NOT summarize or truncate it — include every word of the final chapter.
