Skill Leveling
HI! I think Suduwrite is a great tool for people who want to write, people who do write and for people who are learning to write. However, I think that the level of skill differs from person to person, so I think the level of creative freedom for the AI should also vary. I am a writer, I generally use Sudo because sometimes it's hard for me to articulate my ideas cohesively. A few times I’ve gotten frustrated with generations. For example, I basically tell every single conversation/dialogue, interaction, setting, emotions of the characters in the outline summary of a chapter. When I click generate scenes, I expect, especially since the scenes are how the story is being told, for the scenes to be more detailed if not as detailed and not generalized or generic. However, I have to edit heavily and put back specific details that I already shared in the chapter outline summary section. I understand that there are people who have Sudo create the story for them, but I am an author who brings my already concepted WIPS here and I was just hoping that there could be something to aid in that? I don’t know if I am explaining this correctly. But I’ll post anyway, just in case someone understands what I mean. Thank you XOXO

What you want is direct system prompts for the models. This can be done with plugins, Chat, or Guided Write instructions. This is part of learning to use LLMs. They will do their best to condense content to preserve tokens/credits unless told otherwise. Think of your requests as genie wishes that have to be absolutely precise to get the outcome you expect.

I feel like there is a lot an experienced user can do to drastically improve accuracy, but since what you are describing should be a very typical use case, having more help and guidance from SudoWrite would be very nice to have. I agree 👍
That being said, a lot of what SudoWrite is doing is just taking your input and putting it into the AI model you selected. It’s all about what the AI is instructed to do with this input, and here you have a lot of control as a user: You can drastically change the output by feeding the AI additional instructions for how it should process your scenes (to the point that Draft stays so close to your input that you could even use it for editing, depending on how well crafted the prompts are you are giving it).
In my (biased) opinion, the best models capable of detailed instruction following are the Claude models (Haiku, Sonnet or Opus). And one of the worst options for instruction following is Muse, as its style is way too creative (even with the creativity slider all the way down to 1) – don’t use Muse if you have an exact detailed Scene outline or Story Bible you want Draft to follow!
But in the end, AI is always somewhat unstable and cranky, especially in the context of creative writing.

Hi there! I do agree with you about Claude. Especially Sonnet and Opus. I did have to work through some trial and error, because at first I was using Muse on multiple settings but that was draining my tokens. I’d have to generate like 10 drafts and try to Frankenstein them, which took a lot of time. I unfortunately am still very much trying to get my prompts and extra instructions to a more refined place. I definitely learned the hard way about Muse.
