This document is the canonical index of Scriveno's proof layer. It points to concrete artifacts a prospective user can inspect when asking whether Scriveno's claims are earned by the repo.
- Read Quick Proof if you want one 10-minute route through installation checks, demo inspection, runtime command shapes, next, draft, review, and save.
- Read First-Run Proof if you want the committed transcript artifact for
/scr:first-run,scriveno first-run --project ., runtime smoke, and the demo flow. - Read the Watchmaker Sample Flow if you want one end-to-end writing workflow from setup through drafts, review, and next step.
- Read Voice DNA if you want the shortest possible proof of how style guidance changes output on the same brief.
- Read Creative Context if you want to see one craft choice travel through discuss, plan, draft, and review artifacts.
- Read Versatility Paths if you want curated routes for technical, sacred, visual, translation, and publishing workflows after the flagship proof path.
- Read Proof Badges if you want each major claim labeled by evidence level: shipped, install-tested, artifact-proven, replay-tested, host-capture-ready, host-captured, or external-tool-dependent.
Fast path: Quick Proof
Showcase path: Versatility Paths
These bundles make the range inspectable without making every path compete with the first-run proof.
| Bundle | What it proves | Canonical artifact |
|---|---|---|
| Technical Flow | Reader-state movement, procedures, validation, rollback, and source boundaries for runbooks | data/proof/technical-flow/README.md |
| Sacred Commentary Flow | Tradition-native surfaces, source care, sacred register, and doctrinal review before publishing | data/proof/sacred-flow/README.md |
| Visual Flow | Comic-native page rhythm, panel layout, art handoff, and visual review before asset production | data/proof/visual-flow/README.md |
| Translation And Publishing Flow | Glossary, memory, back-translation, front/back matter, prepublish review, and package gating | data/proof/translation-publishing-flow/README.md |
Each bundle includes a state snapshot, representative plan, representative draft or output artifact, and a next-command continuation. They are proof of workflow shape and evidence discipline, not a claim that every possible project in that domain has been exhaustively verified.
Scriveno now has a small replay layer for the claims that should be more than inspectable prose:
- data/proof/replay/golden-workflows.json replays flagship novel, technical runbook, and publishing-package states into expected route decisions.
- data/proof/voice-dna/eval-fixtures.json checks the watchmaker guided and unguided samples against durable Voice DNA markers.
- test/proof-replay.test.js runs those replay checks through the shared auto-invoke engine and Voice DNA evaluator.
What it proves: Scriveno ships one credible writing workflow from setup context through drafted outcome, review evidence, and next-step continuity.

Start with the proof bundle if you want the curated version. Follow the underlying files if you want to inspect the raw sample directly.
What it proves: Scriveno has an executable first-run guide and committed transcript artifacts for the first proof path.
Canonical artifact: data/proof/first-run/README.md
Related parity artifact: data/proof/runtime-parity/README.md
What it proves: Scriveno's style-guide layer changes draft behavior in visible ways when the same brief is written unguided versus guided.
Canonical artifact: data/proof/voice-dna/README.md
Artifact bundle:
- data/proof/voice-dna/STYLE-GUIDE-EXCERPT.md
- data/proof/voice-dna/UNGUIDED-SAMPLE.md
- data/proof/voice-dna/GUIDED-SAMPLE.md
Read the bundle in order if you want to inspect sentence rhythm, metaphor selection, dialogue restraint, and physical grounding at the same time.
What it proves: Scriveno can preserve craft choices, character behavior, and subject movement across the core writing loop without adding labels to manuscript prose.
