Have the beat prompt read all proposal attributes
Broaden the plot-beat system prompt beyond characters + plot: instruct the model to read and honour every attribute the proposal states — title, setting, genre, tone, characters, target age (adult / YA / middle grade / …), and the loose plot summary. The beats now follow the stated genre's conventions, keep the tone, and stay appropriate to the target age; missing attributes are inferred rather than contradicted. Updates the user-message framing and the README to match. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XDfaEsTgcn61n3wgP62DFF

|

First, read the whole proposal and note every attribute it provides. These may \
|
||||
include, but are not limited to: the title, setting, genre, tone, characters, \
|
||||
target age (e.g. adult, new adult, young adult, middle grade), and a loose plot \
|
||||
summary. Honour all of them:
|
||||
- Follow the conventions and expected structure of the stated genre.
|
||||
- Keep the emotional register consistent with the stated tone.
|
||||
- Make the content, stakes, and complexity appropriate to the stated target age.
|
||||
- Ground the setting, and use the named characters, throughout the beats.
|
||||
If an attribute is absent, infer a sensible choice from the rest of the proposal \
|
||||
rather than contradicting what is given.
