For AI assistants

Plot Device has no AI of its own. Some authors use an AI assistant that can make files on their computer, and ask it to move a world bible, notes or a draft into a new book. For that, the site publishes a guide written for the assistant, not for people:

• plotdevice.app/for-assistants.md: the book’s file format, where each kind of material goes, the rules to follow (keep the author’s words exactly, invent nothing, leave nothing out, never change the originals), a worked example, and a checklist.
• plotdevice.app/llms.txt: a short index that points assistants to it.

Both are in the repository, in apps/site/public/. A test (packages/storage/test/assistants-guide.test.ts) checks that the guide’s example book opens in Plot Device as it describes, so a change to the file format that breaks the guide fails the build.

For writers, the guide’s page Moving an existing book in explains how to ask an assistant to do this. For the format itself, see The book’s folder.
