Plan a change rather than a summary of events. Move cards up or down with the buttons; exports preserve the current order. Limits: 60 scenes, 4,000 characters per field.
Fill every card’s characters, goal, conflict, choice, turning point, and before/after states to review the plan. Partial plans can still be exported.
How to use this tool
- Create a card for one consequential attempt.
- State what is true before entry and what changes at exit.
- Reorder cards, inspect each handoff, and export the plan as Markdown or JSON.

Input

Check your result
- Can a writer tell what the character tries in this scene?
- Does the next card respect this card's changed exit state?
Limits and failure cases
- Local planning tool; it does not write a scene or repair causality automatically.
- Missing-field reminders cannot judge whether a literary choice is effective.
- Keep spent resources and changed relationships consistent after sorting.
