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.

Memory Types

캐릭터 메모리 (Character Memory)

Tracks individual character attributes essential for consistent portrayal:

| arc | 감정궤도 | Emotional journey (e.g., "체념 -> 욕망자각 -> 선택")

| attitude | 태도 | Current disposition toward life/others

| tone | 대사톤 | Dialogue style (e.g., "담백", "직설적", "회피적")

| speechLevel | 말투 레벨 | Formality: 반말, 존댓말, 해체, 혼합

| keywords | 핵심 단어 | Characteristic words/phrases they use

| taboo | 금기어 | Words/phrases they would never say

| emotional_baseline | 감정 기준선 | Default emotional state

| triggers | 트리거 | What provokes emotional reactions

Example:

/writer-memory char add 새랑
/writer-memory char update 새랑 arc "체념 -> 욕망자각 -> 선택"
/writer-memory char update 새랑 tone "담백, 현재충실, 감정억제"
/writer-memory char update 새랑 speechLevel "해체"
/writer-memory char update 새랑 keywords "그냥, 뭐, 괜찮아"
/writer-memory char update 새랑 taboo "사랑해, 보고싶어"

세계관 메모리 (World Memory)

Establishes the universe your story inhabits:

| setting | 배경 | Time, place, social context

| rules | 규칙 | How the world operates (magic systems, social norms)

| atmosphere | 분위기 | Overall mood and tone

| constraints | 제약 | What cannot happen in this world

| history | 역사 | Relevant backstory

관계 메모리 (Relationship Memory)

Captures the dynamic between characters over time:

| type | Base relationship: romantic, familial, friendship, rivalry, professional

| status | Current state: budding, stable, strained, broken, healing

| power_dynamic | Who has the upper hand, if any

| events | Timeline of relationship-changing moments

| tension | Current unresolved conflicts

| intimacy_level | Emotional closeness (1-10)

Example:

/writer-memory rel add 새랑 해랑 romantic
/writer-memory rel update 새랑 해랑 "첫 키스 - 새랑 회피"
/writer-memory rel update 새랑 해랑 "해랑 고백 거절당함"
/writer-memory rel update 새랑 해랑 "새랑 먼저 손 잡음"

장면 메모리 (Scene Memory)

Tracks individual scenes and their emotional architecture:

| title | 제목 | Scene identifier

| characters | 등장인물 | Who appears

| location | 장소 | Where it happens

| cuts | 컷 구성 | Shot-by-shot breakdown

| narration_tone | 내레이션 톤 | Narrative voice style

| emotional_tag | 감정 태그 | Primary emotions (e.g., "설렘+불안")

| purpose | 목적 | Why this scene exists in the story

| before_after | 전후 변화 | What changes for characters

테마 메모리 (Theme Memory)

Captures the deeper meaning woven through your story:

| name | 이름 | Theme identifier

| expression | 표현 방식 | How this theme manifests

| scenes | 관련 장면 | Scenes that embody this theme

| character_links | 캐릭터 연결 | Which characters carry this theme

| author_intent | 작가 의도 | What you want readers to feel

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"
관계 핵심 구도 (Core Relationship Structure)

The central dynamic driving the story

Power imbalances and tensions
Example: "사랑받는 자와 사랑하는 자의 불균형"
정서적 테마 (Emotional Theme)

The feeling the story evokes

Not plot, but emotional truth
Example: "손에 쥔 행복을 믿지 못하는 불안"
장르 vs 실제감정 대비 (Genre vs Real Emotion Contrast)

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

| 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 exactly
