Method and example

A reviewed project-authored library combines category-specific concepts with three distinct instructional structures. Normalized duplicate checks prevent capitalization or punctuation changes from hiding repeated prompt wording.

Example use

A topic names “a floating market before sunrise.” A prompt asks you to set a scene there, choose a perspective, or introduce a decision.

Behavior and limits

  • Prompts avoid copied quotations, lyric continuations, explicit content, self-harm instructions, graphic violence instructions, and illegal-activity instructions.
  • Ordinary mystery, suspense, conflict, adventure, and emotionally serious reflection remain available.
  • Story-starter lines are original project wording, not quotations from published works.
  • Up to 20 unique prompts may be generated at once.

Random selection

The shared engine uses Web Crypto when available and unbiased rejection sampling. Tests inject deterministic random values; this productivity tool does not claim security-grade selection.
