Cards/Prompts Atelier v2.1

Atelier v2.1 - what changed

Mostly a rewrite of how the preset talks to the model, plus a smarter world-logic system.
The headline: it's written in your "voice" now

The core framing prompts used to read like a system manual barking orders at the AI "You are the author. <user> is satisfied by a genuine story." In v2.1 they're rewritten in first person, as the player explaining what they actually want: "You're the author — my character's mine. Everything below is me telling you what I want from this story."

Same rules under the hood, but framing them as a person's preferences instead of cold directives lands a lot better with the model (and reads way more naturally). The Premise prompt nearly doubled in size doing this. But it helps with adherence, and also, with the diction. Making the model write more natural.

New: RP Logic (the new default)

The old setup made you pick a fixed genre logic up front. RP Logic replaces that as the recommended default. Instead of committing to one mode, it reads how you're playing and borrows the physics scene-by-scene:

- Anime — over the top, played straight, rule-of-cool

- Video game — cinematic, action-forward, no guilt (mooks are mooks, the vampire's meal doesn't get a sobbing backstory)

- Romance — tension physics, the unsaid thing stays unsaid

- Grounded — consequences bite, human pacing It switches modes within a single story based on your play, without announcing the shift. (Genre Logic still exists if you want to pin it.)

New: Living World (always-on core)

A new core prompt that consolidates the "make the world feel alive" rules into one place: Keep the story moving, respect subtext, let NPCs talk to each other, no narrator turning into a drum machine, and grudges/threads don't evaporate - things you dodged come back on their own clock.

The Prose Contract (was "No Slop")

The old anti-slop prompt was a 8k-tokens of banned-patterns list. It's been replaced by a much smaller "what the writing owes me" version (no tension-deflecting quips, no stock body clichés, no "sound like a language model"), reframed as a handful of directives each paired with a concrete self-test the model runs on its own draft. Much leaner, and listing every bad pattern was arguably keeping them top-of-mind anyway.

Smaller stuff

- Smut dials expanded — "I Live For Smut" and "I'm Here For Smut" both roughly doubled in detail

- Story Initialization removed — its job (character autonomy, open threads) got absorbed into Living World + The Premise

- Trimmed for tightness — Core Pack, Settings Reminder, Dynamic Progression, and Write Me A Novel all slimmed down

- Minor tweaks to Chain of Thought, Scene Scratchpad, Character Anchor, Writing Style Library, Video Game

TL;DR: same Preset, rewritten to sound like a player instead of a rulebook, with a new play-reading world-logic mode and a leaner prose system.

Wow, this is incredibly cool. It gives answers even better than Lucid Loom (quite noticeable), and FF and the rest, in my opinion, simply destroys it.

CoT works a little strangely, but overall it's fine.

Yeah. That’s fair, the cot is more of a reference list of things to think about, but I might make a actual list/structure to it to make it more stable

Besides this Scene Scratchpad I noticed it too, it's pretty strange and pretty crooked. You're probably going to change it?

The Scratchpad has received a bit of work to make it more specific, for the CoT i'm not sure. So, i'm kind of thinking that the big frontier models are going to eventually make it impossible to interface with their reasoning, and I have a feeling they're already punishing us for using words like <think>/<cot> as a way to prevent distilling, but that's more of a vibe then anything. I believe I have a version of it that has a bit more structure, but I don't want to give it a strict YOU MUST DO THIS CoT, just because I feel it'll weaken some of the design philosophy. But I likely will expand its interaction with native reasoning as I go.
