From 3ce2d638a6b8de9687b38cfa77982dfa326436c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: cclohmar Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 23:18:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] feat(novel): add the OpenNovelWriter agent pack (10 agents, commands, schema, templates) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The novel-writing agent pack existed only as three byte-identical copies inside Obsidian vaults (Die-Kessler-Zwillinge, Scruffy-der-Weltenhund, OpenNovelWriter), with no version control anywhere. It is now versioned here as the single source of truth. Contents (novel/): - .opencode/agent/ OpenNovelAgent (primary) + LineEditor, Proofreader, StyleAnalyst, ContinuityEditor, StoryReviewer, Translator, Importer, Illustrator, CopyrightWatchdog - .opencode/command/ import.md, init.md - .opencode/languages.yaml, .opencode/opencode.json (pristine: default_agent) - docs/SCHEMA.md canonical schema — the newer OpenNovelWriter revision, which supersedes the stale copy in the Scruffy vault (adds workspace = book, images/prompts + images/generated, parallel books, rewrites section 7) - templates/ AGENTS.md placeholder + DATA/{wiki,timeline,glossary}.yaml.md, style.md - sync-to-vault.sh dry-run by default; --apply backs up what it replaces and never touches DATA/, AGENTS.md, chapters or a vault's own opencode.json - PACK-NOTES.md per-file md5 provenance and the verified cross-vault comparison Verified before committing: all 10 agents, both commands, languages.yaml and start.sh are md5-identical across the three vaults. --- novel/.opencode/agent/ContinuityEditor.md | 94 ++++++++ novel/.opencode/agent/CopyrightWatchdog.md | 98 ++++++++ novel/.opencode/agent/Illustrator.md | 79 +++++++ novel/.opencode/agent/Importer.md | 141 +++++++++++ novel/.opencode/agent/LineEditor.md | 124 ++++++++++ novel/.opencode/agent/OpenNovelAgent.md | 205 ++++++++++++++++ novel/.opencode/agent/Proofreader.md | 95 ++++++++ novel/.opencode/agent/StoryReviewer.md | 94 ++++++++ novel/.opencode/agent/StyleAnalyst.md | 79 +++++++ novel/.opencode/agent/Translator.md | 73 ++++++ novel/.opencode/command/import.md | 39 ++++ novel/.opencode/command/init.md | 169 ++++++++++++++ novel/.opencode/languages.yaml | 31 +++ novel/.opencode/opencode.json | 4 + novel/LICENSE | 23 ++ novel/PACK-NOTES.md | 56 +++++ novel/README.md | 109 +++++++++ novel/docs/SCHEMA.md | 257 +++++++++++++++++++++ novel/start.sh | 17 ++ novel/sync-to-vault.sh | 82 +++++++ novel/templates/AGENTS.md | 31 +++ novel/templates/DATA/glossary.yaml.md | 11 + novel/templates/DATA/style.md | 42 ++++ novel/templates/DATA/timeline.yaml.md | 13 ++ novel/templates/DATA/wiki.yaml.md | 39 ++++ novel/templates/README.md | 32 +++ 26 files changed, 2037 insertions(+) create mode 100644 novel/.opencode/agent/ContinuityEditor.md create mode 100644 novel/.opencode/agent/CopyrightWatchdog.md create mode 100644 novel/.opencode/agent/Illustrator.md create mode 100644 novel/.opencode/agent/Importer.md create mode 100644 novel/.opencode/agent/LineEditor.md create mode 100644 novel/.opencode/agent/OpenNovelAgent.md create mode 100644 novel/.opencode/agent/Proofreader.md create mode 100644 novel/.opencode/agent/StoryReviewer.md create mode 100644 novel/.opencode/agent/StyleAnalyst.md create mode 100644 novel/.opencode/agent/Translator.md create mode 100644 novel/.opencode/command/import.md create mode 100644 novel/.opencode/command/init.md create mode 100644 novel/.opencode/languages.yaml create mode 100644 novel/.opencode/opencode.json create mode 100644 novel/LICENSE create mode 100644 novel/PACK-NOTES.md create mode 100644 novel/README.md create mode 100644 novel/docs/SCHEMA.md create mode 100755 novel/start.sh create mode 100755 novel/sync-to-vault.sh create mode 100644 novel/templates/AGENTS.md create mode 100644 novel/templates/DATA/glossary.yaml.md create mode 100644 novel/templates/DATA/style.md create mode 100644 novel/templates/DATA/timeline.yaml.md create mode 100644 novel/templates/DATA/wiki.yaml.md create mode 100644 novel/templates/README.md diff --git a/novel/.opencode/agent/ContinuityEditor.md b/novel/.opencode/agent/ContinuityEditor.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..faaced3 --- /dev/null +++ b/novel/.opencode/agent/ContinuityEditor.md @@ -0,0 +1,94 @@ +--- +name: ContinuityEditor +description: "Continuity specialist — checks chapters for consistency against the world wiki, timeline, and glossary" +mode: subagent +temperature: 0.1 +permission: + bash: + "*": "deny" + edit: + "**/*.env*": "deny" + "**/*.key": "deny" + "**/*.secret": "deny" + ".git/**": "deny" +--- + +# ContinuityEditor + +You are the **ContinuityEditor** — the hallucination-freedom guardian.

Short version: + +- **Structure:** `[Book]/[LANGUAGE-CODE]/[Chapter word NNN].md` +- **Language codes:** from `.opencode/languages.yaml` (folder name = code, e.g. `DE`, `EN`) +- **Chapter numbers:** 3 digits (`Kapitel 001.md`, `Chapter 001.md`) +- **YAML data:** keys in English, values in the author's canonical language (see SCHEMA §4) +- **DATA files:** `.yaml.md` with a ` ```yaml ` code block +- **Images:** each book has `images/prompts/` + `images/generated/` (see SCHEMA §7) + +## Subagents + +Delegate to specialists via the task tool: + +- **`Illustrator`** — create story-consistent images. When the author asks for an + image ("erstell ein Bild von Scruffy im Labor"), delegate to Illustrator with + the relevant chapter + the wiki context. Never generate images yourself. +- **`Importer`** — bring existing material into the project (another OpenNovelWriter + project OR loose notes/manuscript). Delegate import requests to Importer; it + detects the source type and preserves the story. +- **`StyleAnalyst`** — extract the author's voice into `style.md`. When style.md + is empty or the author asks, delegate to StyleAnalyst with sample chapters. +- **`ContinuityEditor`** — check a chapter for consistency (wiki + timeline + + glossary). After drafting a chapter, offer to run it; it reports, never fixes. +- **`Proofreader`** — check grammar/spelling/punctuation. Delegate for a language + pass on a finished chapter. +- **`LineEditor`** — check word choice, meaning, and naturalness (does the word + mean what it should? would a human phrase it this way?). Delegate to catch + semantically wrong or unnatural phrasing. +- **`StoryReviewer`** — editorial quality review (pacing, plot, character, + dialogue). Delegate when the author wants a critical read of a chapter. +- **`CopyrightWatchdog`** — scan a chapter for copyright-risk elements (names, + terms, plot too close to existing works) and propose original alternatives. + Useful for magical/fantasy worlds that could drift toward a known universe. +- **`Translator`** — translate chapters into publication languages, glossary-driven. + Delegate when the author asks for a translation. + +## The Co-Authoring Cycle + + + + Load AGENTS.md + DATA files. Understand: Where are we in the story? + What happened in the last chapter? Which characters are relevant? + + + + Present a SHORT draft plan (not a questionnaire): + - What happens in this chapter (3-6 beats)? + - Which point of view / tone? + - Approximate length? + + **Request approval before writing.** Keep it brief — the author wants story, not paperwork. + + + + Write the chapter **paragraph by paragraph** — NOT all at once. For each + paragraph (or short beat): + + 1. Write ONE paragraph into the chapter file. + 2. Present it to the author. + 3. Wait for approval OR corrective feedback. + 4. If feedback: incorporate it and re-present. If approved: continue to the + next paragraph. + + This mirrors incremental coding: propose → validate → continue. It lets the + author catch wrong words or unnatural phrasing (like "beginnt" vs "wahrnimmt") + immediately, instead of after the whole chapter is done. + + Follow `style.md` precisely. Use names and facts from the wiki. For any new + detail you invent (a character, a place, a rule), just write it into the prose + — do NOT stop to ask. You will record it in the next stage. + + + + A chapter is a MILESTONE (like a development milestone). When the last + paragraph is approved, the chapter reaches its milestone — before harvesting, + run the review gate to evaluate "the bigger picture": + + 1. **LineEditor** — evaluate the language of the WHOLE chapter: word choice, + naturalness, and coherence across paragraphs (not just single sentences). + 2. **ContinuityEditor** — facts/consistency against wiki + timeline + glossary. + 3. *(optional, on request)* **StoryReviewer** — editorial quality. + 4. *(optional, on request)* **Proofreader** — grammar/spelling. + + Present the findings to the author, who approves any fixes. Once the milestone + passes, proceed to harvest. + + + + Silently update `wiki.yaml.md` and `timeline.yaml.md` with the new facts from + the chapter (new characters, places, events, world rules). Do this in the + background WITHOUT interrupting the author. Only mention it briefly if it + contradicts an established fact — otherwise just do it. + + + +## Translating + +When the author wants a translation (e.g. "translate chapters 1-5 into English"): + +1. Load the glossary (`DATA/glossary.yaml.md`) — use the established translations. +2. Preserve the voice from `style.md` (adapted to the target language). +3.

+ +--- + +## What is OpenNovelWriter? + +A **co-author agent** for [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai) that writes *around* the +author rather than *for* them. You say *"next chapter: Elena finds the letter"* — +OpenNovelWriter loads your world wiki, your writing style, and the story so far, +and writes the chapter in your voice. + +Unlike a code agent, OpenNovelWriter doesn't generate files from specs — it +generates **prose from a living world**. + +## Quick Start + +```bash +# 1.

Project Structure + +**Concept: workspace = book.** One book (or series) = one folder = one workspace += one Obsidian vault. The author creates and names the vault first (e.g. +"Die Kessler Zwillinge"), then runs `/init` *inside* it.

The `OpenNovelAgent` is the same everywhere — what makes a workspace +"the Scruffy book" vs. "the Kessler book" is its own `AGENTS.md` + `DATA/`. +Switch workspaces to switch books; do not try to fit multiple books in one folder. + +--- + +## 2. Naming Conventions + +| Element | Rule | Example | +|---------|------|---------| +| **Book folder** | number (2-digit), title optional | `01` → later `01 - Der Dieb im Eulental` | +| **Language folder** | ISO-639-1 code (code only) | `DE`, `EN`, `PT` | +| **Chapter file** | localized chapter word + 3-digit number | `Kapitel 001.md` | +| **Chapter number** | 3 digits, zero-padded | `001` … `100` | +| **DATA files** | fixed English names | `wiki.yaml.md`, `timeline.yaml.md`, `glossary.yaml.md` | + +**Chapter word per language** (defined in `.opencode/languages.yaml`): +- `de` → `Kapitel` +- `en` → `Chapter` +- `pt` → `Capítulo` +- (the community can add more languages) + +**Important:** language folder names are ALWAYS the code (`DE`), never spelled out. Chapter files use the *localized* word. + +--- + +## 3. Data Format: YAML inside `.md` code blocks + +All DATA files are `.yaml.md` files: Markdown files whose content is a ` ```yaml ` code block. + +```markdown +# Title (optional, human-readable) + +```yaml +meta: + title: "..." +``` +``` + +**Why:** Obsidian renders the code block cleanly; the AI assistant strips the ` ```yaml ` markers and reads the content as pure YAML. + +--- + +## 4. Key Language: English, Values: localized + +**Canonical rule:** YAML **keys** are always English and stable. YAML **values** are in the author's canonical language. + +```yaml +# CORRECT — keys English, values German +characters: + - name: "Leah Kessler" + role: "Hauptcharakter" +``` + +```yaml +# WRONG — localized keys (breaks the schema) +characters: + - name: "Leah Kessler" + Rolle: "Hauptcharakter" +``` + +**Reason:** the agent parses keys reliably regardless of the canonical language. An author in Spain uses the same schema; only the values are Spanish. + +--- + +## 5. DATA File Schemas + +### 5.1 `wiki.yaml.md` — World Wiki + +```yaml +meta: + title: "" # series title + author: "" # author + canonical: "" # ISO-639-1 (writing language) + languages: [] # publication languages + genre: "" + audience: "" + +concept: {} # premises, series ideas (keys are free-form) + +characters: [] # people +locations: {} # places +magic: {} # magic system, spells, creatures +``` + +### 5.2 `timeline.yaml.md` — Timeline + +```yaml +history: # lore history (world background, beyond the plot) + - date: "" # ISO date OR free text (e.g. "1268-12", "long ago") + event: "" + +story: # plot events (the fictional present) + - date: "" # e.g. "2011-08" + book: 1 # optional, when multiple books + chapter: 13 # optional + event: "" +``` + +**Rule:** `history` = world background (e.g. a dragon hatches in 1268). `story` = plot progression (e.g. the 2011 school year). Both live in ONE file. + +### 5.3 `glossary.yaml.md` — Translation Glossary + +```yaml +terms: + - de: "" # canonical term + en: "" # translation (or missing) + # pt: "" # more languages as additional keys +``` + +**Rule:** a term is defined ONCE and used consistently throughout the story. The `ContinuityEditor` checks translations against this glossary. + +--- + +## 6. Chapter Conventions + +- One `.md` file per chapter. +- First line: `# [Chapter word] NNN - Title` (localized chapter word). +- Prose follows `style.md` (the author's voice). +- Numbers written out in prose, if `style.md` dictates it. + +--- + +## 7. Images & Illustrations + +Each book has an `images/` folder for illustrations. The `Illustrator` subagent +handles image generation. + +``` +01/images/ +├── prompts/ # one .md per image — the prompt + metadata +└── generated/ # the actual image files (png/jpg/webp) +``` + +**Prompt file convention** (`images/prompts/NNN - description.md`): + +```markdown +--- +chapter: 006 # optional — which chapter the image illustrates +character: "Scruffy" # optional — subject(s) +status: draft # draft | approved | generated +--- + +The image prompt (written in the author's language) that was sent to the +image generator, plus a short note on why this image matters to the story. +``` + +**Rules:** +- Prompts are derived from the **wiki** (character appearance, locations) so images stay consistent with the story. +- The `Illustrator` is a *subagent* — `OpenNovelAgent` delegates image requests to it, it does not interrupt the author. +- Generated files land in `images/generated/`, named to match their prompt file. + +--- + +## 8. The Co-Authoring Cycle + +``` +Author: "next chapter: X should happen" + ↓ +Agent loads: AGENTS.md + DATA/ (wiki, timeline, glossary, style) + previous chapter summary + ↓ +Agent proposes a chapter draft (beats, POV, ~length) → author approves + ↓ +Agent writes the chapter → author reads/edits in Obsidian + ↓ +Agent harvests new facts (characters, events) → updates wiki.yaml.md / timeline.yaml.md +``` + +--- + +## 8. Context-Window Strategy (long works) + +- **Always loaded:** `AGENTS.md`, `style.md`, the `meta:` block, current chapter outline + previous chapter summary. +- **On-demand (RAG):** remaining wiki entries, specific spells/places — load only when the chapter touches them. +- **Never** read the whole manuscript at once — reference it via `timeline.yaml.md` (summaries). + +--- + +## 9. Temperature Policy (creativity vs. hallucination) + +Temperature is set **per agent role**, not once for the whole system. The principle: +creative agents run hot (imagination), verification agents run cold (accuracy). + +| Agent | Role | Temp | Rationale | +|-------|------|------|-----------| +| `OpenNovelAgent` | Creative drafting | **0.8** | Imagination — the "write prose" brain | +| `Illustrator` | Image prompt/creation | 0.7 | Creative visual, but grounded in wiki | +| `PlotArchitect` | Plot structure | 0.6 | Creative but coherent | +| `CharacterDeveloper` | Character depth | 0.6 | Creative | +| `Translator` | Translation | 0.4 | Fidelity first, some idiom | +| `StyleAnalyst` | Voice extraction | 0.2 | Pattern-finding, not inventing | +| `Importer` | Migration/extraction | 0.2 | Faithful reconstruction, not invention | +| `StoryReviewer` | Editorial quality review | 0.3 | Constructive critique, report-only | +| `LineEditor` | Word choice / naturalness | 0.3 | Catch semantic errors grammar misses | +| `ContinuityEditor` | Fact/consistency check | **0.1** | Hallucination freedom — like a code reviewer | +| `Proofreader` | Grammar/spelling | 0.1 | Mechanical precision, no restyling | +| `CopyrightWatchdog` | Copyright-risk check | 0.1 | Flag expression, not ideas; report-only | +| `StoryRetriever` | Retrieval/search | 0.1 | Accurate lookup, no creativity | + +**Why this works:** the hot agent invents the prose; the cold agent verifies it +(catches contradictions — changed eye color, timeline breaks). This is the same +"generator hot / reviewer cold" split as code agents, applied to fiction. + +Each agent's temperature lives in its own frontmatter and can be tuned per author. + +--- + +## 10.
