How to Use: Scrivener Scene Card Checklist from Manuscript Notes (No Invented Word Counts)
How to use the Scrivener Scene Card Checklist from Manuscript Notes (No Invented Word Counts) PromptDig prompt without inventing metrics.
You pasted messy Scrivener manuscript notes and need a clean deliverable without invented numbers. This PromptDig prompt turns only what you already listed into a structured scene-card checklist for scene card handoffs.
What this prompt does
It locks your manuscript notes, version, labels, and domain fields, then builds a ledger plus a table that refuses fake metrics. Missing cells stay NOT IN INPUTS instead of guessing.
Use it when you already have real stubs from Scrivener and want a teachable scene-card checklist for this job, not a generic template swap from another vendor. The Generate steps name Scrivener nouns on purpose so a title swap into another category would fail the swap-title test.
The deliverable is aimed at Scrivener scene-card checklists. Reviewers should see your locked nouns echoed in the table rows, not marketing fluff. Cap style limits stay soft unless you add them later in Extra.
How to fill the brackets
- Paste your manuscript notes with concrete nouns only. Prefer two labeled rows so the example shape stays visible after you swap names.
- Lock Version to what you actually run. If you do not know the version, write unknown rather than guessing a marketing release name.
- Fill labels you may quote only when you already have names you are allowed to use.
- Complete the domain fields that match this job. Leave blanks as UNKNOWN instead of inventing word counts, page ranks, progress scoreboards.
- Set Banned and Never to the phrases you refuse. Keep Format and Lang explicit.
Keep Harbor Quay sample nouns out of your production paste. Those labels exist only so the example_input shows two concrete rows. Replace them with your real labels before you run the prompt.
Who it is for
Writers who inherit messy Scrivener manuscript notes. It is also useful when a teammate hands you a partial export and you need a scene-card checklist that stays honest about gaps.
How to run it
- Open Scrivener Scene Card Checklist from Manuscript Notes (No Invented Word Counts) on PromptDig.
- Copy the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
- Replace every bracket with your locked manuscript notes. Do not leave sample Harbor nouns in place if they are not yours.
- Run once, then fix only the gaps list. Do not ask the model to invent missing metrics.
- Paste the scene-card checklist into your handoff doc and keep NOT IN INPUTS visible for reviewers.
What good output looks like
A strong run starts with an honesty ledger that quotes your locked nouns and Version. The tables attach only names that appeared beside each other in Inputs. Refuse lines explicitly reject fake word counts, page ranks, progress scoreboards.
Weak output invents metrics, adds vendor features not in Version, or swaps in another tool's nouns. If you see that, tighten Banned and Never, then rerun.
Common mistakes
- Inventing word counts, page ranks, or progress scoreboards the notes never stated.
- Treating UNKNOWN as a cue to guess defaults.
- Dropping the gaps list so reviewers cannot see what is still owed.
- Softening Never so the model pads with industry averages.
- Copying a Ulysses or Novelist template and hoping the nouns still fit.
When not to use it
Skip this prompt if you have no Scrivener manuscript notes at all. It will not invent a starter inventory for you. Skip it if you need live dashboard sync or API pulls; this is a checklist compiler from pasted text only.
