Profile System

Profile Types

Character, Relationship, Location, Lore. Each has its own section template.

Trait Blocks

Profile sections are made of trait blocks with importance levels:

- trait: observant, punctual, eloquent
  description: "She is the textbook example of someone always on time."
  importance: core

Importance Levels

Level	Meaning
Core	Central to identity. Always sent to AI
Present	Regularly relevant. Sent when character is in scene
Background	Exists in canon but rarely surfaced
Contextual	Situational. Sent only when explicitly attached
Hidden	Writer-only. Never sent to AI; AI expresses as subtext only

Profile Tools

• Section summary generation
• Full profile summary (synthesizes all sections, weighted by importance)
• "How AI uses this" preview (sparkles popover per trait)
• AI Trim (rewrites wordy traits to tighter targets)
• AI Importance Audit (flags importance-level mismatches)
• Profile Builder chat (Chat, Refine, Extract Traits, Check Consistency modes)
• Import and fork profiles from other projects

Smart Advisor

Three pass categories with inline highlights:

• Readability — sentence complexity, passive voice, adverb density
• Structure — pacing, scene breaks, chapter flow
• Context — character consistency, profile adherence (requires attached profiles)

Features:

• Selection-scoped passes (highlight a paragraph, run on selection only)
• Eight creative-transformation modifiers (Default / Rewrite / Expand / Shorten / Describe / Rephrase / Add Sensory Detail / Change Tone)
• Word-level diff display showing exactly what each suggestion changes
• Issue ceiling calibrated by draft stage (polished: 0-5, revision: 10-25, raw: 30-50)
• In-context suggestions (improves the passage in its actual context, not isolation)

Writing Companion

• Multi-turn chat panel for conversational AI help
• Context chip attachment (Summary / Traits / Overview / Details per chip)
