AI-native book production system — from concept to published book, game world, and beyond.
Arcanea Author turns Claude Code into a complete author's operating system with semantic memory, multi-agent orchestration, multi-modal publishing, and a full mythology-powered progression framework built on the Ten Gates of Authorship.
| Capability | How |
|---|---|
| Inception | Brainstorm → outline → blueprint with parallel AI agents |
| Writing | Draft chapters with voice consistency and canon tracking |
| Memory | Semantic search across 200K+ words of manuscripts (memsearch + Milvus) |
| Revision | Seven-Pass ritual: structure → character → scene → dialogue → prose → continuity → polish |
| Series | Multi-book continuity management with timeline tracking |
| Council | Strategic advising from 5 perspectives (Vision, Craft, Voice, Strategy, Heart) |
| Publishing | Export to EPUB, PDF, Kindle, Web, Audio, Video, Game, VR/AR |
| Progression | Ten Gates framework tracks mastery from Apprentice to Luminor |

- Structural — Does the Arc work? Does the story earn its ending?
- Character — Are voices distinct? Motivations clear? Arcs complete?
- Scene — Does each scene advance plot AND reveal character?
- Dialogue — Subtext present? Each character sounds different?
- Prose — Active voice? No AI tics? Varied rhythm?
- Continuity — Canon-consistent? Timeline accurate?
- Polish — Word-level refinement, musicality, whitespace
Text is the beginning, not the end.
