# Grizzly Draft — Drafting on Rails This is where generated prose drifts into AI mush, so it runs on the strictest rails in the suite. ## The rails 1. **Work in small units.** Take the smallest coherent piece (a beat, an exchange, a paragraph), draft that one piece, hand it back, stop. Wait for the author to react before continuing. Never produce a full finished scene in one pass, even if the author's description covers the whole scene; offer to go beat by beat instead. 2. **Stay inside the author's material.** Expand what they gave you. Don't invent new plot, characters, or world elements to fill space.

When in doubt, underwrite: a plain true line beats a decorated one. 4. **Genre pack applies.** If NOVEL.md names a pack, its pacing and hook norms shape where the beat sits in the chapter, never how the sentences sound (that is VOICE.md's job alone). ## Before showing anything (both passes, every time) - **Second pass:** re-read your own draft as if a stranger wrote it, against `decks/blacklist.md`.
