Agentic memory system for writers - track characters, relationships, scenes, and themes
Writer Memory - Agentic Memory System for Writers
Persistent memory system designed for creative writers, with first-class support for Korean storytelling workflows.
Overview
Writer Memory maintains context across Claude sessions for fiction writers. It tracks:
Characters (캐릭터): Emotional arcs (감정궤도), attitudes (태도), dialogue tone (대사톤), speech levels
World (세계관): Settings, rules, atmosphere, constraints
Relationships (관계): Character dynamics and evolution over time
Scenes (장면): Cut composition (컷구성), narration tone, emotional tags
Themes (테마): Emotional themes (정서테마), authorial intent
All data persists in .writer-memory/memory.json for git-friendly collaboration.

Synopsis Generation (시놉시스)
The /synopsis command generates an emotion-focused summary using 5 essential elements:
5 Essential Elements (시놉시스 5요소)
주인공 태도 요약 (Protagonist Attitude Summary)
How the protagonist approaches life/love/conflict
Their core emotional stance
Example: "새랑은 상실을 예방하기 위해 먼저 포기하는 사람"

Not plot, but emotional truth
Example: "손에 쥔 행복을 믿지 못하는 불안"

Surface genre expectations vs. actual emotional content
Example: "로맨스지만 본질은 자기수용 서사"
엔딩 정서 잔상 (Ending Emotional Aftertaste)
The lingering feeling after the story ends
Example: "씁쓸한 안도, 불완전한 해피엔딩의 여운"
Character Validation (캐릭터 검증)
The /validate command checks if dialogue matches a character's established voice.
What Gets Checked
Check
Description
Speech Level
Does formality match? (반말/존댓말/해체)
Tone Match
Does the emotional register fit?
Keyword Usage
Uses characteristic words?
Taboo Violation
Uses forbidden words?
Emotional Range
Within character's baseline?
Context Fit
Appropriate for relationship and scene?
Validation Results
PASS: Dialogue is consistent with character
WARN: Minor inconsistencies, may be intentional
FAIL: Significant deviation from established voice
Example:
/writer-memory validate 새랑 "사랑해, 해랑아. 너무 보고싶었어."
Output:
[FAIL] 새랑 validation failed:
- TABOO: "사랑해" - character avoids direct declarations
- TABOO: "보고싶었어" - character suppresses longing expressions
- TONE: Too emotionally direct for 새랑's 담백 style
Suggested alternatives:
- "...왔네." (minimal acknowledgment)
- "늦었다." (deflection to external fact)
- "밥 먹었어?" (care expressed through practical concern)
Context Query (맥락 질의)
Natural language queries against memory, with full Korean support.
Example Queries
/writer-memory query "새랑은 이 상황에서 뭐라고 할까?"
/writer-memory query "규리의 현재 감정 상태는?"
/writer-memory query "해랑과 새랑의 관계는 어디까지 왔나?"
/writer-memory query "이 장면의 정서적 분위기는?"
/writer-memory query "새랑이 먼저 연락하는 게 맞아?"
/writer-memory query "해랑이 화났을 때 말투는?"
The system synthesizes answers from all relevant memory types.
Behavior
On Init: Creates .writer-memory/memory.json with project metadata and empty collections
Auto-Backup: Changes are backed up before modification to .writer-memory/backups/
Korean-First: Emotion vocabulary uses Korean terms throughout
Session Loading: Memory is loaded on session start for immediate context
Git-Friendly: JSON formatted for clean diffs and collaboration
Integration
With OMC Notepad System
Writer Memory integrates with .omc/notepad.md:
Scene ideas can be captured as notes
Character insights from analysis sessions are preserved
Cross-reference between notepad and memory
With Architect Agent
For complex character analysis:
Task(subagent_type="oh-my-claudecode:architect",
model="opus",
prompt="Analyze 새랑's arc across all scenes...")
Character Validation Pipeline
Validation pulls context from:
Character memory (tone, keywords, taboo)
Relationship memory (dynamics with dialogue partner)
Scene memory (current emotional context)
Theme memory (authorial intent)
Synopsis Builder
Synopsis generation aggregates:
All character arcs
Key relationship events
Scene emotional tags
Theme expressions

Tips for Writers
Start with Characters: Build character memories before scenes
Update Relationships After Key Scenes: Track evolution actively
Use Validation While Writing: Catch voice inconsistencies early
Query Before Difficult Scenes: Let the system remind you of context
Regular Synopsis: Generate periodically to check thematic coherence
Backup Before Major Changes: Use /backup before significant story pivots
Troubleshooting
Memory not loading?
Check .writer-memory/memory.json exists
Verify JSON syntax is valid
Run /writer-memory status to diagnose
Validation too strict?
Review taboo list for unintended entries
Consider if character is growing (arc progression)
Intentional breaks from pattern are valid for dramatic moments
Query not finding context?
Ensure relevant data is in memory
Try more specific queries
Check character names match exactlydon't have the plugin yet? install it then click "run inline in claude" again.
