Use Arc and the whole-game AI tools

AI instructions: how Arc should collaborate

Example: keep the theatre setting and event order; distinguish character beliefs from facts; propose alternatives before changing the letter’s writer.

1. Open Workspace → AI instructions.
2. State the intended voice, creative priorities and decisions that should not change without your approval.
3. Save the instructions. In the current version they are stored in this browser and used for future AI tasks for this game.

Arc: ask about the selected material

1. Open Arc from the top bar. Check Reading scope before sending: the current content and a wider game scope are different inputs.
2. Name the task, the source material and the limits. For example: “Using only this opening, list what the player can do next. Do not rewrite it yet.”
3. Check the current model, credits and usage information, then send when you are ready to run the request.
4. Review the answer against the source. If an edit or write action is offered, check its target and confirm the save result afterwards.

AI toolkit: five kinds of work

• Script review: inspect timeline conflicts, inconsistent details and premature character knowledge.
• Proofread script: check spelling, grammar, punctuation and naming against source passages.
• Historical review: screen details against the intended era and region; verify uncertain findings yourself.
• Content review: screen violence, sexual content, discrimination, privacy and live-play risks. It does not certify a release.
• Translate game: establish the target language, terminology and scope with Arc before translating.

Choose scope before starting a review

1. Open the intended tool from Workspace → AI toolkit. Opening the tool itself does not spend credits.
2. For Script review, expand Review scope and check the selected source types before using Review all.
3. The current script-review scope reads selected text, including unsynced local edits. Images, audio and private character profiles are not included in that review scope.
4. Start only after checking the scope and displayed cost information. Long works can require multiple calls and more credits. Read findings and their supporting passages, edit the source yourself and recheck the affected part.

Continue writing and Voice input

Continue writing asks Arc for a passage at the current writing position. Review the proposal before using Accept and insert when that action is offered, then check the inserted content and save state.

Voice input is a separate way to enter text when available. Follow the browser’s microphone permission prompt and correct the recognised text before relying on it.

Keep authorship and completion clear

• A chat response is a proposal until you choose to use it. It does not by itself update a chapter or publish a game.
• A contradiction needs incompatible source passages; a lying character or different viewpoint is not automatically a writing error.
• After an interruption, inspect the existing task and results before retrying. Keep actual playtest observations separate from AI comments.
