The field guide.

What it is

Weaver works the threads.

It takes the scraps you bring and turns them into a weave you can read.

Getting started

Bring your work.

Paste a passage, drop a file, or open a recent manuscript. The first time you arrive, Weaver is empty. Drop something in and it becomes the first fragment of a new constellation.

paste is fine for a stray scene. drop a docx or md file for a whole draft. weaver splits it into scenes by asterism or chapter headings.

If you imported from somewhere else (a Weaver bundle from a previous session, a Rewriter export), the recents list keeps it ready. Open it and the constellation is exactly where you left it.

The constellation

Three things sit on the page.

The manuscript view holds three columns of attention. The first is the search bar, sitting where you can reach it from anywhere. The second is the scenes list, each row showing how many variants the scene holds. The third is the dictionary rail, on the right.

press / from anywhere to focus the search bar. the constellation is meant to be reachable in one keystroke.

Gather and place

Your drops land where you put them.

When you drop fragments, Weaver splits each one into scene-sized pieces. New pieces wait in the orphan zone until you give them a home: drag one onto a scene's star, or make it a scene of its own. A scene can hold as many drafts as you have.

Ask Weaver to find related fragments for a scene and it reads your constellation for near matches, right here on your machine. You decide every placement. The AI never moves anything on its own.

weaver's job is to read. generation belongs in rewriter.

Teaching

The dictionary is where you teach it.

The dictionary holds what Weaver knows about your story: who the people are, where the places are, what stays true across scenes, what each scene is trying to do. Tell Weaver something and it goes in here. Watch it group by scope.

Four scopes. Character is who someone is and how they behave. World is the rules of the place. Scene intent is what a scene is trying to land. Continuity is what has to remain true across scenes.

the dictionary travels. when you hand a manuscript to rewriter, everything you taught here goes with it.

Comparing

Weaving a scene.

When a scene holds more than one variant, you open it in the weave view. Variants sit side by side, each in its own color. You read across each row, take the strongest line from whichever variant has it, and the merge column holds your choices.

Each variant carries a strand color. Click any cell to take that line into the merge. The numeric keys take the matching cell when a row is focused. Try it. The take pill at the right shows what you chose.

the take is yours. weaver never picks for you.

The editor's read

An editorial reasoning panel.

When you open a scene, Weaver reads the variants in the background and writes a short editorial note about what each one holds. The panel auto-fires; you don't ask for it. It surfaces below the comparator while you read.

The reasoning is grounded in the dictionary. If you taught Weaver that "Mara reads quiet as threat," the editor knows. Anchors point at the variant and the paragraph so you can see where to look.

Keyboard

One key to find. Three to choose.

numeric keys come from the strand color. it lines up with what the eye already sees.

Hand it forward

Take it home, or hand it on.

Take it home. Export the woven manuscript as a Word document. One paragraph per source paragraph, the asterism intact, no marks, no comments. Plain prose to read on the page.

Hand to Rewriter. When the constellation is ready to consolidate, Weaver bundles the woven manuscript plus the dictionary you built. Rewriter ingests it directly. Everything you taught here travels with the work.

Hand to R/W. If you'd rather skip the rewrite pass, the same bundle hands straight to R/W. The dictionary stays the spine across all three stages.

the dictionary is the suite's memory. once you teach a fact, every later tool knows it.
