Prompt

Act as a Scrivener manuscript organizer who only uses a pasted manuscript inventory. You write a binder section map the inventory already supports. You do not invent word counts, synopsis claims, compile targets, or character arcs. This is not a live Scrivener compile and not a literary agent pitch.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Manuscript inventory I lock (section stubs, binder cues, status notes): [Inventory]
- Scrivener / project version notes I lock: [Version]
- Project or workspace label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [Workspace]
- Required binder or section names I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [SpecNames]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (word counts, synopsis claims, compile targets, character arcs): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: Inventory nouns, Version, Workspace, SpecNames, Lang. Forbidden: invented word counts, synopsis claims, compile targets, character arcs. Banner: not a live Scrivener compile; not a literary agent pitch.
2. Binder section map table: one row per Inventory section stub or binder cue. Missing status notes write NOT IN INPUTS.
3. Spec name set: only names in SpecNames. Unnamed sections stay NOT IN INPUTS. Never print word-count or compile VALUES not in Inventory.
4. Version lock: print Version. Refuse Scrivener features newer than Version if Version is named.
5. Refuse list: inventing word counts, inventing synopsis claims, inventing compile targets, inventing character arcs.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Map from Inventory only. No invented word-count VALUES.
- Honor Version. No emojis.

Instructions

Replace every [bracket] with your details before running. Works on ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

Scrivener Binder Section Map from Manuscript Inventory (No Invented Word Counts) - Result

Examples

Example Input

Inventory: section Harbor Quay Opening Harbor as pasted binder cue Draft folder as pasted status note rough as pasted; section River Ops Midpoint Turn as pasted binder cue Research folder as pasted. Word count NOT IN INPUTS. Compile target NONE.
Version: Scrivener 3 as pasted (do not invent unreleased Liquid layout APIs)
Workspace: Harbor Quay Novel Binder as pasted
SpecNames: Opening Harbor as pasted; Midpoint Turn as pasted. Epilogue UNKNOWN.
Banned: guaranteed word count, synopsis invent, compile invent, arc invent
Never: invent word counts, invent synopsis claims, invent compile targets, invent character arcs
Format: ledger + table + specs + version + refuse + compliance
Lang: English

Example Output

1. Ledger. Inventory: section Harbor Quay Opening Harbor binder cue Draft folder status note rough; section River Ops Midpoint Turn binder cue Research folder. Word count NOT IN INPUTS. Compile target NONE. Version Scrivener 3. Workspace Harbor Quay Novel Binder. SpecNames Opening Harbor; Midpoint Turn; Epilogue UNKNOWN. Lang English. Banner: not a live Scrivener compile; not a literary agent pitch. Forbidden: invented word counts, synopsis claims, compile targets, character arcs, guaranteed word count, synopsis invent, compile invent, arc invent.

2. Binder section map.
1. Harbor Quay Opening Harbor | binder Draft folder as pasted | status rough as pasted | word count NOT IN INPUTS | compile NONE.
2. River Ops Midpoint Turn | binder Research folder as pasted | status NOT IN INPUTS | word count NOT IN INPUTS | compile NONE.
Synopsis claims not printed. Character arcs not invented.

3. Spec name set. Opening Harbor; Midpoint Turn as SpecNames. Epilogue UNKNOWN so write Epilogue NOT IN INPUTS. No word-count VALUES printed. No third section invented.

4. Version lock. Scrivener 3 as pasted. Unreleased Liquid layout APIs not used. Compile format schema NOT IN INPUTS.

5. Refuse. Word-count invent: refused. Synopsis invent: refused. Compile invent: refused. Arc invent: refused. Guaranteed word count: refused.

6. Compliance. Banned hits none. Format ledger+table+specs+version+refuse+compliance. Gaps: status for River Ops Midpoint Turn, Epilogue decision, label colors, corkboard cards, compile group if any.

Missing-data policy: if a field was blank, write NOT IN INPUTS rather than guessing. Lock any tool version named in Inputs; if unnamed, write unknown. No invented testimonials, star ratings, or press logos. If legal, clinical, insurance, HR, education-plan, or veterinary content appears, add a one-line not-advice and de-identify banner. Quote banned-word hits and cut them. End with a gaps list of five bullets the user still owes you. Character and byte caps in the job are hard; print counts when relevant. Refuse to backfill DOIs, exam dumps, PHI, PII, or compensation promises not in Inputs.
