v0.3.1 — Arcs, /create-scene, and downloadable binaries

Two new commands, and lexis-setup now ships as a ready-made program: no Go needed.

Arcs: chained hooks as one story

A GM usually plans hooks as a chain — Empty Coffins → The Yellow Curtain → The Master's Letter. An arc file (arcs/<slug>.md) holds the premise, the steps in order and what moves the story to the next one, plus an optional GM-only endgame.

• /event watches the chain: a step may be done, a later step gets skipped, or something a later step needs is gone. It never blocks what you report — the event is canon and the arc adapts. A skip or a threat becomes a decision you answer now or at session end.
• /close-session proposes the progress: the step's hook resolved, the next one active; you can also reorder, rewrite or drop steps.
• /world-init finds hook chains in a world you already have and offers to turn each one into an arc.
• /lexis-help shows each active arc and the step it is on.

An arc is a plan, not a fixed future: the players stay free, and nothing pushes them toward the next step.

/create-scene: the players walk into a place

Name the place, add a few notes, and you get the rest filled in:

/create-scene old-cemetery night, thick fog, the gravekeeper is gone, one grave dug open

• 2-4 sentences to read aloud, with nothing secret in them.
• Who is there, what they are doing and their attitude — never someone the session put elsewhere or killed.
• Three things to do, each with where it can lead and the check plus a suggested difficulty in your own game system.
• One two-sided scene tag, a GM-only note, and a line if an interaction could open an arc step.

Your notes are kept exactly as written; only the gaps get filled.

Install without Go

The archives below hold a single program. macOS gets one file for both Apple Silicon and Intel — no need to know which chip your Mac has.

Your computer	Download
Windows	lexis-setup_0.3.1_windows_amd64.zip (arm64 on an ARM PC)
macOS, any chip	lexis-setup_0.3.1_darwin_all.tar.gz
Linux	lexis-setup_0.3.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz (or arm64)

On macOS and Linux, make it runnable; on macOS also clear the download quarantine, since the binaries are not signed with an Apple developer certificate:

chmod +x ./lexis-setup
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./lexis-setup

Then run lexis-setup and answer four questions. Full guide: Installation.

Also in this release

• The roadmap is up to date; images for characters and places are on hold.
• v0.3.0 was tagged before the release workflow existed, so it has no binaries. Use v0.3.1.

Install with Go instead: go install github.com/EmreCerrah/Lexis-AI/lexis-setup@v0.3.1
