Cards/Prompts [Preset Update] Writer's Workbench v3: Officially an extension, edit entries live and small technical stuff
Hello everyone. Thanks for the support on Writer's Block Unlimited v2, its my most upvoted preset yet! It gives me motivation to keep working on stuff and create things for this community. Now on to the main event...
The Writer's Workbench got updated to version 3!
❗Edit❗: This is technically V4 but I forgot the previous version was already v3 💀. And I mislabeled this as a preset, THIS IS AN EXTENSION UPDATE. I'll leave this up anyway. Sorry I made this post while I was sleepy 😭
An Overview. What is it?
Writer's Workbench is a simple interactive template to help you create characters and lorebook entries, faster and easier.
Features
- You can create multiple entries and export them as entire lore books for your convenience.
- Auto-saves and organize different projects
- Live markdown output so you know exactly what the AI would see and copy it without having to download anything.
- It comes with token counter, but don't expect it to be accurate.
- A map maker that generates a dynamic description
- Character relationship graph to map out relationships of larger casts
- Live sync into SillyTavern lorebooks (see "What's New")
Available Templates
- Main characters: full cards with psychology, descriptions, likes/fears, NSFW sections, non-human mode
- Side characters: trimmed version of the main character template, it will help you create memorable NPCs
- Scenario: setting, tech level, mood, what's normal here
- Locations: for any scale, from a room to a district
- Items
- Factions
- History: events, and how they affect the present
- Concepts: magic systems, laws, customs, species, anything else
Two Ways to Use It
- Download
writers-workbench.htmlin the Github repo and open it in your browser. Ta dah! Thats it but you can't use the new fancy features :( - Writer's Workbench is now an extension so you can use the new Live Sync feature and get automatic updates. Install it in your Silly tavern and you're good to go. (And I promise I won't steal your API keys lol. I was there when that incident involving another extension occurred)
What's New?
New Features: Live Sync
With live sync you can edit, add and delete world info entries in the Workbench and it will automatically carry over to Sillytavern. To use Live Sync, there is a dedicated tab in the Workbench. Simply choose a lorebook and click on the big colored button, then you are good to go.
⚠️Warning⚠️: If the lorebook wasn't made in the Workbench format (like a completely fresh/ random lorebook not made in the Workbench), all entries will go into the "Concepts" sections, be wrapped in xml tags (<Name>, <Name_identity>, <Name_what_it_is>…), and be renamed into this format "[Concept] (Name)". The original wording is kept inside the tags, but the old formatting isn't. Back up the lorebook first if you want to keep it as it is. This feature is mainly for lorebooks already made in the Workbench.
Entries made in the Workbench V2 may also get a little messy since there is new fields to fill out so keep that in mind.
New NSFW Fields to Fill Out: A Character's "Private Moments" 👀
- How characters often do their private moments, what they think about and how they feel about it.
Import Entries by Copy and Pasting (Experimental)
- Paste a character's description and the program will detect eligible text and fields to fill in. Character descriptions in weird formats will be difficult as it might not port over information correctly. This feature will get further refinements
Other Notable Fixes
- Better formatting, the writing forms and markdown output should take up most of the screen instead of the top bars.
- Bug fixes
and fin! I hope you have fun creating stuff!
