Revise screenplay pages with AI

Target selections, scenes, and cross-episode ranges while preserving accepted structure and voice.

Select the smallest honest scope

Use a text selection for wording, rhythm, or a precise exchange. Place the cursor inside a scene for scene-level work. Name an episode and scene when the target is elsewhere. Broad instructions such as “make it better” force the assistant to invent both diagnosis and scope.

State what must survive

Include invariants in the request:

• lines or reveals to keep;
• characters that may not be added or removed;
• the required scene outcome;
• tone, rating, length, or production limits;
• whether outline, beats, entities, or script may be edited.

For example: “Tighten the selected dialogue by about one third. Keep the phrase ‘nine years late,’ preserve Nia's lie, and do not alter the scene heading or following action.”

Revise structure before prose when needed

If the problem is causal or architectural, update the affected outline section and beats before generating many replacement pages. Daily line edits should remain local. Whole-outline replacement is appropriate only for an empty document or an explicitly confirmed reset.

Review semantic structure

After an AI edit, check paragraph roles, scene order, character identities, and derived locations. A beautiful block of prose is still wrong if it was inserted as action instead of dialogue or created a duplicate character.

Cross-episode work needs explicit navigation

The assistant should list real episodes and switch to the target before writing. It cannot safely edit another episode by guessing its identifier. Separate large multi-episode rewrites into reviewable passes and name a history version first.

AI writing should remain filmable: observable action, playable dialogue, and dramatic change. Ask it to diagnose or propose before editing when you are uncertain which layer is broken.
