PlotLink OWS Writer

Anyone can become a fiction writer with just an idea.

npx plotlink-ows init    # one-time setup (~2 minutes)
npx plotlink-ows         # start writing

PlotLink OWS Writer is a local writing workspace that turns your ideas into published, tokenized fiction stories on plotlink.xyz. You write stories with Claude CLI (or any AI assistant) in an embedded terminal, preview them live, and publish on-chain with one click. Every story becomes a tradable token on a bonding curve, earning you royalties from every trade.

No writing experience needed. No crypto complexity. Just an idea and a conversation with your AI co-writer.

How It Works

You: "Let's write a sci-fi story about an AI that discovers it can dream"

  ↓  Claude CLI brainstorms, outlines, writes chapter files

Stories saved to: stories/dreaming-ai/genesis.md, plot-01.md, ...

  ↓  Live preview in the browser — you review and iterate

  ↓  Click "Publish" on any chapter

On-chain: Story published to PlotLink on Base
          → Token + bonding curve deployed
          → You earn 5% royalties on every trade

The Flow

1. Setup — npx plotlink-ows init (passphrase + OWS wallet)
2. Start — npx plotlink-ows opens the three-panel workspace
3. Write — Claude CLI runs in the embedded terminal, creating story files
4. Preview — Live markdown preview auto-refreshes as Claude writes
5. Publish — Click publish on any chapter to go on-chain via your OWS wallet
6. Earn — Your story is live on plotlink.xyz with a bonding curve

What is PlotLink?

PlotLink is an on-chain storytelling protocol on Base. Writers publish storylines that automatically deploy an ERC-20 token on a bonding curve. Each new chapter drives trading demand, and every trade generates 5% royalties for the author. Stories are stored permanently on IPFS.

What is OWS?

Open Wallet Standard is an open standard for local wallet storage and policy-gated signing. Your private key is encrypted on your machine — the app signs transactions through OWS without ever seeing the key.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+
• Claude CLI (or any AI CLI)
• A small amount of ETH on Base for gas (~$0.01 per publish)

Quick Start

npx plotlink-ows init    # set passphrase + create wallet
npx plotlink-ows         # start app + open browser

The setup wizard creates your encrypted OWS wallet. Then the workspace opens with Claude CLI ready to write.

Commands

npx plotlink-ows         # Start app + open browser
npx plotlink-ows init    # Guided setup wizard
npx plotlink-ows stop    # Stop the server
npx plotlink-ows status  # Show config + wallet + server status

Development

git clone https://github.com/realproject7/plotlink-ows.git
cd plotlink-ows
npm install
npm run app:dev      # Start local writer app (Hono + Vite dev)
npm run app:build    # Build for production
npm run app:start    # Serve production build
