Plot Thread Status Tag

Render a writer-assigned plot-thread state without analysing or generating story content.

Description

Label a supplied plot-thread status.

Writing records can represent speakers, scenes, aliases, rhyme labels and revision spans. These representations preserve selected conventions: a character count needs an indexing unit, an alias can be active over an inclusive period, and a stage-direction wrapper is a string pattern rather than a grammar. Mechanical labels do not evaluate literary quality or establish authorship.

Label a supplied plot-thread status.

When to use this tool

Use Plot Thread Status Tag when you already have threadId, status and need to label a supplied plot-thread status.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter threadId, status. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read tag. Use the output convention below.

Require threadId nonempty and status introduced/developing/resolved/abandoned/open; append it.1

}

Limitations and assumptions

  • The tool does not inspect narrative development, verify resolution or choose a story structure.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Inspect the full passage, draft history and editorial style when interpreting the result. Use complete text or narrative analysis for meaning and structure; local markers, offsets and supplied attribution records only organize the stated information.
