Five minutes per Block. Seventy-five seconds per Mini-Block.
These durations are normalized reference regions. Scenes, beats and shots may span, compress or cross them whenever the story requires.

Shape the whole story. Keep it yours.
PlotPickle is a visual writing and creative-direction studio for moving from idea to screenplay to screen without giving away creative authority.
The Human remains the author. AI can explain, suggest, draft, visualize and test ideas, but generated material never silently becomes canon.

The current user-facing experience
Matrix organizes the work without becoming the story authority.
Explore, Develop, Visualize, Review, Pitch, Play and System form the current top-level map. Learn, Community and Library remain visible parts of the workflow, while story development continues through writing, visual planning, review, presentation and playable-story work.
This is the governed experience map, not a claim that every inventoried or in-transit surface is complete or publicly released.

The 24 / 96 mathematical narrative model
A stable address for every part of the story.
PlotPickle converts normalized story time into a shared coordinate system. It lets learning, writing, visual development, feedback and production refer to the same structural region without forcing the story into a rigid template.

24 Blocks → 96 Mini-Blocks → 2,400 technical three-second render slots.
The grid supports stable production addresses and surgical regeneration. It does not mean 2,400 clips must be generated or stored up front.
Regenerate the failed slot, not the entire scene.PlotPickle Score
Deterministic structural measurement, with limits you can see.
PlotPickle Score measures available structural evidence across five transparent dimensions. When evidence is insufficient, the result is NR / Not Rated instead of a fabricated number.
The score is not an AI-authorship detector and never replaces Human creative judgment. Human-written, AI-assisted, generated and imported material use the same evidence contract.
Your room · your rules
AI is a choice, not the price of entry.
Write without a model
Use the curriculum, story structure, review tools and project record without connecting AI.
Invite help deliberately
Ask a local or chosen cloud model to explain, explore, test or visualize. You decide what survives.
Give each helper a job
Named Agents combine a bounded role, relevant context and focused skills without becoming the author.
AI may offer material. Only the Human can make it canon. DRAFT ≠ DECISION
Ollama, llama.cpp and compatible endpoints
Choose models that run on your own hardware or a private endpoint.
ComfyUI and whisper.cpp
Use optional local image/video workflows and local dictation where configured.
Cloud / BYOK and LM Studio
Cloud providers remain deliberate choices. LM Studio may be used as a compatible connection; it is not described as open source.
Seven canonical architectural layers
One system, with authority boundaries that stay visible.
The public explanation follows the repository architecture rather than inventing a second version of it. Presentation can change; story authority, provider choice and validation boundaries remain explicit.
Experience Skins
Replaceable presentation for an audience or device.
Expanded Experience Layer
The stable product contract behind every Skin.
Governed Production Orchestration
Authority, consent, lifecycle and execution control.
Agent & Skill Mesh
Specialists collaborating within approved scope.
Story, Canon & Evidence Core
Deterministic story state and one durable canon authority.
AI / Provider Runtime
Replaceable local and cloud inference routes.
Validation & Operations
Independent evidence, diagnostics and release checks.
Community · BUZZ · signed history
A writers' hall without a back door into your story.
Meet people in the Great Hall, continue focused work in Story Rooms and discover official PlotPickle Agents through BUZZ. Community material remains separate from canon until the Human deliberately brings it into the governed approval path.
- Private story work never uploads automatically
- Sharing is explicit and destination-specific
- Human and Agent authorship remains attributable
- Community presence never becomes peer compute access
Built in the open
Open source is part of the architecture, not a footnote.
The repository records the software, tools and reference work that materially contribute to PlotPickle. The machine-readable inventory is authoritative for usage, source, version evidence and licence scope.

Supported does not automatically mean open source. LM Studio and configured proprietary or cloud services are kept outside the OSS inventory rather than being misclassified.
