CharacterArc zhouyeshan
winget install --id=uu201.CharacterArc -e CharacterArc is not just a "conversational AI shell", but a desktop workbench built around novel project organization, chapter writing, and AI collaboration. š Local-First Project data is stored in a local SQLite database; no reliance on online services, giving you full control over your writing. š¦ Project Isolation Each project independently maintains its settings, chapters, knowledge base, and AI execution logs, ensuring no cross-interference. š Chapter-Oriented Outlines, inspiration, knowledge, and AI capabilities are all designed to ultimately serve the creation of chapters. š§© Skill-Driven AI calls can automatically match built-in or project-level Skill packages based on tasks, with support for Agent Loop scheduling. š Multi-Provider Integration Supports all OpenAI-compatible interfaces (DeepSeek, Qwen, Zhipu, Kimi, SiliconFlow, Ollama, etc.) and the Anthropic protocol (official and relays). Simply select the protocol and enter the address. š Feature Overview š Projects & Resources - Project Center: Create, view, edit, and delete novel projects. - New Project Wizard: Fill in genre, length, and synopsis; call AI to generate initial settings and outlines. - Novel Workflow Panel: Maintain workflow documents by volume; supports deconstructing reference works. - Knowledge Center: Accumulate project facts, workflow documents, reference materials, and style analysis results. - Skill System: Enable built-in Skills or import additional Skill packages for individual projects. š Worldbuilding & Structure - Worldview / Character / Organization / Relationship Management: Maintain foundational assets for the novel. - Relationship Maps: Visualize character relationships and organizational connections (via Cytoscape). - Plot Outline: Dual-column interlaced timeline layout; organize plot nodes by volume with drag-and-drop sorting and AI expansion. - Plot Leads: Assist in maintaining foreshadowing, suspense, and payoff plans. āļø Chapter Creation - Three-Column Layout: Directory tree + Main editor + AI sidebar. - Rich Text Editing: Based on TipTap; supports search-and-replace, formatting, and selection-based actions. - Auto-Save & History: Automatic disk saving during editing; supports manual snapshots and rollbacks. - Reading Mode / Focus Mode: Check pacing by reading in a format closer to the final manuscript. - Word Count Goals: Set target word counts per chapter and track progress. - Export: Export chapter text as .txt / .docx; export the entire workspace as a JSON snapshot. š¤ AI Assistance - Polishing, continuation, rewriting, and pacing adjustments for chapters. - Generation of chapter summaries, identification of foreshadowing, and subsequent plot chain generation. - Streaming AI first-draft generation, scene planning, and chapter analysis. - Inspiration generation packages and in-depth deconstruction of reference works. - Agent Loop Mode: Allows the model to think iteratively based on Skill indexes and tool registries. - Task Progress Panel: A unified view of current and historical AI tasks. šØ Cover Workbench - Generate cover prompts tailored for platforms (Fanqie, Qidian, Jinjiang, Zhihu, Qimao, Ciweimao, etc.). - Call image models to generate previews and compare historical versions within the workbench.
