The process
Seven stages, from the first idea to the last export.
01Stage 1 of 7
Concept· free
The seed — title, author, genre, premise. The commitment every later stage is held to.
You describe the book you want to write. Not a prompt — a commitment. skrivant holds this thread through every stage that follows.
titleauthorgenrepremise
Define your concept
Start with the basics. You can refine later.
Premise
In 1967, a taxi driver is accosted by a middle-aged passenger and told to hold a briefcase. The passenger will pay him $100k to keep it until he returns. Five years later, in a fit of drunken mistake, he opens it…
02Stage 2 of 7
World· free
The setting takes shape — technology, social order, constraint, the texture of the world your story lives in.
skrivant generates the setting as structured, coherent elements: technology, social order, constraint. Each one is inspectable and yours to revise.

Technology · society · constraint
Economy
In 1967, $100,000 is a life-altering sum, enough to buy three houses, yet the passenger hands it over with the casualness of settling a bar tab.
Constraint
The briefcase's brass lock is engraved with a tiny symbol: a serpent coiled into a figure-eight, the mark of a defunct fraternal order bound to blood-silence.
Atmosphere
Leonard's 14th-floor apartment becomes a pressure chamber of deferred violence; the briefcase sits on top of his wardrobe for five years, gathering dust.
03Stage 3 of 7
Voice· free
The prose voice — register, rhythm, the texture the sentences carry. Yours to shape before a word of the cast is written.
A few questions about how the book should feel become a style prompt every later stage writes in. Answer what pulls you, skip the rest — or let skrivant carry the voice alone.

Shape the voice
Six questions about how this book should feel. None are required.
Voice
How close should we get to his inner life — should the reader inhabit his skin, or watch him from the backseat, letting his choices speak louder than his thoughts?
The backseat. Let his hands on the wheel do the confessing.
Sensory signature
What does 1967 feel like in your book — the diesel fumes of the cab, the crackle of the radio, the weight of a leather briefcase on the passenger seat?
Wet wool and cigarette smoke. The briefcase gets heavier every year he doesn't open it.
Your answers become the style prompt every chapter is written in.
04Stage 4 of 7
Characters· free
Protagonists, antagonists, and supporting cast — each with motivation, contradiction, signature, voice, relationships.
The contradiction is what makes them worth writing. A character whose wants and fears don't cut against each other isn't yet a character.
motivationcontradictionsignaturevoicerelationships
Leonard Kowalski
The protagonist
A Chicago taxi driver who accepts a briefcase and $100,000 from a stranger, then spends years unraveling the murder it conceals.
Motivation
Wants to identify the murderer in the photographs because the images have colonized his mind and he cannot sleep until he knows who did it.
Contradiction
Spent his adult life avoiding other people's problems by keeping the partition closed, but now he is walking into a murder he could have reported anonymously.
Signature
Rubs his thumb against the side of his index finger when working through a problem, a callus there from years of gripping the wheel at the same spot.
05Stage 5 of 7
Outline· free
A chapter-by-chapter map of the book — beats, tone, emotional arcs, and the register each scene operates in.
Every beat carries a register tag — interiority, dialogue, action, scheme-in-motion — so the prose generator knows how to write it.

Chapter 1
The Briefcase
A deal in the rain, then five years of training himself not to look at the top of the wardrobe.
Beats
DEFAULTLeonard picks up a middle-aged passenger in the rain who directs him to drive aimlessly while negotiating the deal.
DEFAULTFive years pass in a montage of fares, empty bottles, and the eleven-minute rhythm of the El train rattling his apartment.
INTERPERSONALLeonard opens the briefcase with a crowbar and finds crime scene photographs of a woman's body, and a police evidence card dated 1962.
INVESTIGATIVELeonard studies the photographs until dawn, cataloging every detail: the victim's silver ring with a jet stone, the photographer's shadow across the frame.

The Briefcase
● Writing prose…
The rain had been falling since four o’clock, the kind of steady Chicago drizzle that kept cabs busy and tips low. Leonard Kowalski had been behind the wheel for nine hours when the man flagged him at the corner of Milwaukee and Division.
“Where to?”
“Just drive.” The man pulled the door shut and shook rain off his sleeves. “North. I’ll tell you when to turn.”…
