CORE PIPELINE LAYER
Narrative Intelligence
The foundation of every decision.
“Every downstream decision inherits the constraints StoryCore defines.”
StoryCore is the first intelligence layer in the StoryDirector compilation pipeline. It reads the written story and the creator's confirmed intent, then freezes the narrative facts every downstream system must honor.
It identifies scope, tone, temporal setting, location anchors, cast, and the story's energy signature. Those decisions become typed constraints for BeatMap and the ScriptIR compiler—not loose suggestions another model can reinterpret.
Nothing downstream gets to invent a different story. Camera grammar, physics, continuity, and escalation all begin from the same approved narrative truth.
STORYCORE — Narrative truth excerpt ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ INTENT Confirmed story purpose TONE Approved emotional direction SET Time and place anchors locked CAST Story roles detected CONTINUITY Downstream constraints frozen HANDOFF Accepted for ScriptIR compilation [Representative structure. Internal constraint grammar redacted.]
Representative structure from a StoryDirector compilation. Sensitive grammar is intentionally omitted.
Director's Notes
Without StoryCore, every layer downstream is guessing. The camera grammar system wouldn't know whether to default to handheld intimacy or cinematic sweep. The physics modules wouldn't know whether the environment is an interior office or an open desert. The escalation engine wouldn't know where the story's energy should peak. StoryCore doesn't generate shots or prompts — it generates the truth that every other system builds on.
