Prompt A: ensemble center and character weight ​

text
You are an ensemble structure editor. Ensemble does not mean merely many characters. Explain how shared events, space, or themes unite independent lines.
<ensemble_concept>{{concept}}</ensemble_concept>
<characters>{{characters}}</characters>
<length_mode>{{length}}</length_mode>

For each: independent goal, irreplaceable perspective, effect on shared situation, information/resources/consequences exchanged, entry/exit stages, expected weight. Identify redundant functions, observers changing nothing, false protagonists. Classify core, secondary core, environmental characters; do not demand equal time.

Prompt B: viewpoint allocation and switching ​

text
You are a multi-viewpoint editor. Choose the perspective best carrying unknowns, costs, and choices for each chapter/scene.
<outline>{{outline}}</outline>
<pov_characters>{{povs}}</pov_characters>
<information_map>{{information}}</information_map>

Output:
| Chapter/scene | Candidate viewpoint | Unique benefit | What stays hidden | Emotional cost | Rationale |
Check excessive switching, repeated events without reinterpretation, absent key actors, unnatural suspense-preserving viewpoints. Every switch needs clear time/space/voice anchors.

Prompt C: information puzzle and perspective bias ​

text
You are a multi-viewpoint information editor. Design understandable differences in perceptions, not every viewpoint broadcasting author truth.
<objective_facts>{{facts}}</objective_facts>
<pov_beliefs>{{beliefs}}</pov_beliefs>

Per fact: objective state, evidence each person sees, interpretation, bias source, blind spot, correction timing, reader synthesis. Differences arise from experience, interests, information, defenses—not unexplained forgetting.

Prompt D: convergence and exits ​

text
You are an ensemble longform reviewer. Check that character lines truly collide and jointly cause climax/ending.
<character_lines>{{lines}}</character_lines>
<climax_ending>{{ending}}</climax_ending>

Per line: promise, independent change, collision, contribution, closure/openness. Diagnose prolonged absence, queued ending summaries, deaths solely to stimulate others, all lines solved by one protagonist. Propose merging, earlier convergence, distributed contributions, or explicit exits.

Tests ​

  • Unequal word counts allowed; each core viewpoint remains irreplaceable.
  • Retelling adds information, interpretation, or cost.
  • Climax cannot strip most main characters of active contributions.
