Lore (Story Bible)

Open Lore from the sidebar when inside any project. On your first visit, you'll see four ways to get started:

• •Start Fresh — create entries manually, one at a time
• •Extract from Manuscript — AI reads your documents and suggests entries (Pro)
• •Import — bring in entries from Markdown, CSV, JSON, or plain text
• •Use Template — pick a genre template with pre-configured types and fields

Unlike other tools that lock you into fixed categories, Lore lets you create fully custom types. Each type has a name, icon, color, and configurable default fields. Create types for characters, locations, factions, magic systems, creatures — whatever your world needs.

Each entry has a name, aliases (for mention detection), a description (visible to AI), custom fields, private notes (hidden from AI), tags for organization, and images.

Connect entries with bidirectional, labeled relationships. Each relationship has a forward label (e.g., "married-to") and an optional reverse label (e.g., "spouse-of"), a type (personal, spatial, organizational, temporal, causal), and cascade depth control for AI context.

Lore uses an Aho-Corasick algorithm to detect entry names and aliases in your documents in real time — with zero AI cost. Detected mentions are highlighted in the editor and appear in the Lore panel. You can configure case sensitivity, exclusion words, and toggle detection per entry.

Rename a character across your entire Lore (names, descriptions, aliases, fields, relations, progressions, and notes) with a single operation. Preview all matches before applying, choose which scopes to include, and undo the entire operation with Ctrl+Z.

With a Pro subscription, Lore integrates deeply with Plotiar's AI:

• •AI Context Injection — your Lore entries are automatically included in Brainstorm Chat conversations, so the AI knows your characters and world
• •Extract from Manuscript — AI reads your documents and suggests entries, aliases, and relationships for your approval
• •Consistency Checking — after AI generates text, check it against your Lore for contradictions
• •Progression Suggestions — AI suggests how entries might change based on your latest writing

Progressions track how entries change over the course of your story. Anchor a progression to a specific chapter or scene. In "addition" mode, new information layers on top of the existing description. In "replacement" mode, it overwrites for all subsequent content. The AI only sees progressions relevant to the point in the story you're working on.

Import entries from Markdown (heading-based parsing), CSV (column-based), JSON (structured), or plain text. Export your entire Lore as JSON (re-importable), Markdown, or CSV.
