Direct answer
Start a writing session, read the current chapter packet, draft the complete chapter in ChatGPT, and use accept_current_chapter only for the expected current chapter. After saving, verify the next chapter and packet version.
Step by step
The reliable workflow
- 1
Start or resume
Ask ChatGPT to start a writing session for the chosen BookWriter project.
- 2
Read the packet
Confirm the packet is current and note its required beats, continuity, and ending contract.
- 3
Write in conversation
Draft and revise the full chapter in ChatGPT. App cards remain prose-free.
- 4
Accept the complete chapter
Save the full expected chapter with accept_current_chapter, then verify the cursor advanced once.
Why sequence matters
BookWriter advances one current chapter at a time. This makes continuity, retries, and later corrections unambiguous.
Short chapter guardrail
A chapter that is unexpectedly short may require explicit confirmation. Review whether it is intentionally complete rather than bypassing the check automatically.
Textual fallback
If a card cannot render, the tool response still states the saved chapter index, version, next chapter, and safe recovery action.
Frequently asked
Can I save only a filename or document path?
No. The connected client must pass the full chapter text; BookWriter cannot read a local path by itself.
