```

## Workflow

1. **Setup**: Fill in `bible/` with your style guide, characters, and locations
2. **Plan**: Write `story/synopsis.md` and `story/plan.md`
3. **Initialize**: Set initial state in `state/template/`, create symlink `state/current/`
4. **Generate**: Run orchestrator - it will:
   - Plan chapter beats (planner agent)
   - Write chapter (writer agent)
   - Run perplexity-improver to reduce cliches and AI patterns
   - Lint style (style-linter agent)
   - Review characters (character-reviewer agent)
   - Review continuity (continuity-reviewer agent)
   - Loop if issues found (max 3 iterations)
   - Update state files (create `state/chapter-NN/`, update symlink)
   - Append to `timeline/history.md`
   - Save final chapter
5. **Export**: Generate ebook with `ebook/build-ebook.ps1`

## Key principles

- **bible/** is read-only during generation
- **state/** is versioned per chapter (`state/chapter-NN/`), symlink `current/` points to latest
- **timeline/history.md** is append-only
- All agents output in `.work/` for review
- Gates must pass before proceeding

## Agents

Agent definitions are in `.claude/agents/`. Each agent has:
- YAML frontmatter (name, description, model, tools)
- Detailed instructions for its role

| Agent | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| chapter-planner | Creates detailed chapter beats from synopsis |
| chapter-writer | Writes chapter drafts following style guide |
| style-linter | Validates compliance with bible/style.md |
| character-reviewer | Checks character consistency and voice |
| continuity-reviewer | Checks timeline and spatial logic |
| state-updater | Extracts state changes after validation |

The orchestrator (CLAUDE.md) invokes these agents automatically.

## Perplexity Improver

Reduces cliches and AI-detectable patterns by rewriting low-perplexity sentences.

**Prerequisites:**
- NVIDIA GPU with CUDA support (~16 GB VRAM recommended)
- uv (Python package manager)
- Default model: Ministral-3-8B

```
/perplexity-improver story/chapters/chapitre-05.md
```

- Analyzes text using a local language model
- Identifies "suspect" sentences (too predictable)
- Rewrites them while preserving meaning
- **Note**: Analysis is slow (several minutes for model loading)

Use after writing a chapter, before final validation.

## Ebook Generation

Generates EPUB/MOBI/AZW3 from markdown chapters.

```powershell
cd ebook
.\build-ebook.ps1              # EPUB (default)
.\build-ebook.ps1 -Format all  # All enabled formats
```

**Prerequisites**: Pandoc, powershell-yaml module, Calibre (for MOBI/AZW3)

See [ebook/EBOOK-GUIDE.md](ebook/EBOOK-GUIDE.md) for full documentation.

## Getting started

### Option A: Manual bible creation
1. Copy `bible/characters/_template.md` for each character
2. Copy `bible/universe/_template.md` for each location
3. Fill in `bible/style.md` with your target style
4. Write your synopsis and chapter plan
5. Initialize state files
6. Run: "Write chapter 1"

### Option B: Analyze existing books (recommended for style matching)
1. Place source books in `analysis/src/` (txt or md format)
2. Run: "Analyze analysis/src/[book].txt"
3. Review generated bible in `analysis/output/[book]/`
4. For multiple books: "Merge analysis/output/*/ into bible/"
5. Write your synopsis and chapter plan
6. Initialize state files
7. Run: "Write chapter 1"

## Output language

All prompts are in English but output is in French.
Change `Output language` in agent files if needed.
