Continuous chapters / Use it as Goals/Taks

[mendoncart]

Proposal

Hey, great app!

I was having some trouble with SillyTavern, and Narratrix already feels much better — even in its early stage.

I’d love to see the option to use chapters as tasks or goals. Ideally, chapters could have two main improvements:

1. Continuity – An option for the chat to continue normally when changing chapters (or at least option to keep context from the previous one and a few recent messages). This way, moving from one chapter to the next would stay on the same window rather than starting a new chat. Or if starting a new chat, keep going from where was left off.

2. Goals/Tasks – The ability to define a goal for each chapter, visible to participants, so characters can act with that objective in mind.

Example:

1. Find friends for an adventure
2. Travel somewhere and uncover a crime
3. Confront the culprits
4. Return home

This would help structure stories like a script or campaign, giving direction to participants.

I’m not sure how it would handle multiple participants with conflicting or secret goals (e.g., one character secretly planning betrayal), but even a simple implementation would already be a huge help for story progression and character development.

In short: I’d like a way to define a path or trajectory for characters to follow across chapters, while keeping story continuity intact.

Is this related to an existing planned feature?

Hello @mendoncart,

Thanks for your feedback. It sounds like you got my idea for the Chapters feature. It is planned that you can move from one chapter to another, keeping a registry of all you have conquered in the previous chapter.

My idea initially was to set up advanced options in the chapter that you could fill in:

• Checkpoints/Goals for the LLM to know what to lean toward.
  • Auto-create checkpoint decision memories
• Chapter Branching, so you connect other chapters, with descriptions for the LLM to pick the correct chapter.

For this to work well, Narratrix does need an Agent functionality, which can run and make decisions every turn, such as: moving to another chapter, updating memory registry of the chat, etc... This is coming soon.

I saw that the agents feature is in development, I think it's an absolutely awesome idea.

I don't exactly know how are you planning this, but by the screenshot looks like n8n or other lowcode workflow app, and "workflows" are a great idea to add flexibility!

I'm eager to try the new features!
