Blueprint: Your Book's Constitution
Structured, editable fields matched to your book type. Lock what is settled. Locked fields become canonical. Everything generated afterward must respect them. Full revision history on every field.
Why this is hard
Long manuscripts have problems that short documents do not.
Books drift because authors make foundational decisions early, then forget or contradict them by chapter 12. There is no single source of truth for what the book is supposed to be.
A book blueprint is not an outline. It is the constitution: thesis, promise, tone, evidence requirements, what the book refuses to promise, major conflict, world rules. These are decisions that every chapter must serve. Without them locked down, the book becomes a collection of chapters instead of a coherent work.
The Blueprint builds in layered groups: Foundation (from Concept), Reader (from Concept plus Foundation), Content (from everything before), Boundaries (from everything before). The prompt explicitly instructs the model to build on prior groups and never contradict them. Each field supports edit, approve, lock, unlock, and full revision history. Locked fields are canonical. Everything generated afterward must respect them.
You can edit any field at any time. You choose what to lock. You can unlock and re-lock. Running the Blueprint fills empty fields from your concept and intake answers without ever overwriting what you have approved or locked.
What other Inkloom features interact with it
Concept
Describe the book you want to write. Title, type, concept, audience, primary outcome, desired reader experience, tone, length, and research needs. Cascade generation builds each field on the last.
Adaptive Intake
Inkloom asks 4 to 6 specific questions about your book, only things it does not already know. Your answers become part of the canonical project record. Each question offers three genuinely distinct suggested answers.
Outline
Hierarchical outline with parts, sections, chapters, scenes, lessons, exercises, and appendices. Two-phase generation. Every chapter carries an operational brief. Drag and drop to reorder. Validation flags problems before they cost you.
Continuity
Facts are extracted from your chapters into structured records with fact types, entity labels, confidence percentages, and source passages. Proposed facts promote to canonical with one click. Conflicts become cards. Nothing is ever silently resolved.
