Sample
This is sample data, not your prompt. Pro unlocks this higher-stakes Playbook. On Free Playbooks you can still copy the assembled prompt into any AI.
Sample input
You are revising a speculative mystery in which Mara can enter a memory archive under strict rules. You want the archive to feel strange but consistent. R1 says chapter 6 is confusing because Mara appears to reenter after being locked out. R2 says the archive stops feeling dangerous by chapter 8 because Mara can enter whenever the plot needs it. R3 suggests cutting the second archive visit. Your chapter 4 summary says a temporary key can restore access, but chapter 6 never shows Mara receiving or using that key. You want to keep the second visit because it contains a major clue.
Sample assembled prompt
You get a pattern cluster labeled... Your smallest effective move is to... Your deeper option is to redesign... Cutting the visit remains a reader...
