Chapter Shape Visualizer [](https://github.com/loganpendragonmultiverse/chapter-shape-visualizer/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
Who Chapter Shape Visualizer is for
- People who need a small, purpose-built utility instead of a broad platform.
- Users working with writing, chapters, structure who want the documented v1.0.0 behavior.
- People who prefer an open-source release with visible limitations, source, and license terms.
Intended result
Measure chapter length, scene count, dialogue share, and structural rhythm.
This summary is reconciled from the current catalog and repository documentation.
Features in v1.0.0
Capabilities below come from the current project README and release documentation.
[](https://github.com/loganpendragonmultiverse/chapter-shape-visualizer/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
Measure chapter length, scene count, dialogue share, and structural rhythm from supplied manuscript text. The command runs locally, uses explicit UTF-8 JSON input, and produces deterministic JSON or Markdown reports without modifying the supplied source material.
Verified examples
Screenshots are shown only when the current README references a local source image. Otherwise, repository example files are linked directly.
Platforms and implementation
The public release claims only the cataloged platforms and technologies.
Supported platforms
- Windows
- macOS
- Linux
Built with
- Python
Quick start
The shortest documented path into the current release.
python -m pip install .
chapter-shape examples/sample.json
chapter-shape examples/sample.json --format json --output report.jsonThe example documents the complete v1 input shape. Markdown is intended for immediate review; JSON preserves structured evidence for scripts and later comparison. An existing output file is never overwritten.
Current limitations
These boundaries are part of the product and prevent the page from implying unverified capability.
Chapter and scene parsing follows explicit Markdown headings and scene-break markers. Dialogue share is a quote-based estimate, not linguistic analysis.
Privacy and licensing
Review the actual data boundary before using a tool with sensitive inputs.
Privacy and safety
All manuscript text stays local.
Python 3.10 or newer is supported on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The package has no runtime dependencies, telemetry, account, or hosted service.
License and release
Chapter Shape Visualizer is published under MIT. The current cataloged release is v1.0.0, published 2026-07-27.
