Install

pip install iil-outlinefw
# or with LLM support:
pip install iil-outlinefw[aifw]

Features

• 5 story frameworks: Three-Act, Save the Cat, Hero's Journey, Five-Act, Dan Harmon Story Circle
• Beat definitions with act position (0.0–1.0), tension level, emotional arc
• OutlineGenerator: LLM-based outline generation via any iil-aifw-compatible router
• parse_nodes(): Robust JSON parser for LLM responses (handles fencing, <think> tags, leading text)
• Pydantic schemas: OutlineNode, OutlineResult, ProjectContext
• Django adapter in outlinefw.django_adapter (optional, no hard dependency)

Quick Start

gen = OutlineGenerator(my_llm_router)

ctx = ProjectContext(
    title="My Novel",
    genre="Thriller",
    description="A story about ...",
)

result = gen.generate(ctx, framework="save_the_cat", chapter_count=15)
for node in result.nodes:
    print(f"{node.order}. {node.title} [{node.beat}]")
