 Writers face numerous challenges in the modern creative landscape:
+
 - **Process Fragmentation**: Writers juggle multiple tools (word processors, outlining software, character databases, world-building wikis) without integrated workflows
 - **Creative Blocks**: 40% of writers report regular creative blocks that halt productivity for days or weeks
 - **Quality Consistency**: Maintaining consistency across character voices, world-building details, and plot threads becomes exponentially harder as projects grow

 ## Proposed Solution
 
 The BMad Creative Writing Expansion Pack provides a complete AI-augmented writing studio through:
+
 - **10 Specialized Writing Agents**: Each agent masters a specific aspect of craft (plot, character, dialogue, world-building, editing)
 - **Genre-Specific Intelligence**: Agents understand genre conventions and can adapt to sci-fi, fantasy, romance, mystery, thriller contexts
 - **End-to-End Workflows**: From initial premise through KDP-ready packages, workflows guide writers through proven methodologies

 ### Primary User Segment: Professional Fiction Writers
+
 - **Profile**: Published authors with 1-5 books, primarily self-published through KDP/other platforms
 - **Current Workflow**: Draft in Word/Scrivener, self-edit, hire freelance editors, manage own publishing
 - **Pain Points**: Maintaining series consistency, managing multiple projects, expensive editing costs ($2000-5000 per book)
 - **Goals**: Increase output from 1-2 books/year to 3-4, reduce editing costs by 50%, maintain quality standards
 
 ### Secondary User Segment: Aspiring Writers & Writing Students
+

 - **Current Workflow**: Sporadic writing habits, limited structure, heavy reliance on writing groups for feedback
 - **Pain Points**: Lack of structured process, difficulty completing projects, limited access to professional feedback

 ### Platform Requirements
+
 - **Target Platforms:** Windows, macOS, Linux (via CLI initially)
 - **Browser/OS Support:** Modern browsers for web interface (Chrome 90+, Firefox 88+, Safari 14+)
 - **Performance Requirements:** Handle 100K+ word documents with <100ms response time for agent interactions

 - **Frontend:** React/Next.js for web interface, maintaining VSCode extension
 - **Backend:** Node.js/Python hybrid for agent orchestration
 - **Database:** PostgreSQL for manuscript storage, Redis for session state
 - **Hosting/Infrastructure:** AWS/GCP with CDN for global distribution
 
 ### Architecture Considerations
+
 - **Repository Structure:** Monorepo with packages for agents, workflows, templates, and core
 - **Service Architecture:** Microservices for agent execution, monolithic API gateway
 - **Integration Requirements:** LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models), version control (Git), cloud storage

 ## Risks & Open Questions
 
 ### Key Risks
+
 - **Market Resistance:** Traditional writing community may reject AI assistance as "inauthentic"
 - **LLM Dependency:** Reliance on third-party LLM providers creates availability and cost risks
 - **Quality Variance:** AI feedback quality may vary significantly based on genre/style
 - **Copyright Concerns:** Unclear legal status of AI-assisted creative works in some jurisdictions
 
 ### Open Questions
+
 - Should we support real-time collaboration or focus on single-author workflows?
 - How do we handle explicit content that may violate LLM provider policies?
 - What's the optimal balance between prescriptive workflows and creative freedom?
 - Should agents have "personalities" or remain neutral tools?
 
 ### Areas Needing Further Research

 - Optimal prompt engineering for maintaining consistent character voices
 - Integration possibilities with existing writing tools (Scrivener, Ulysses)
 - Market segmentation between genre writers (romance, sci-fi) vs literary fiction
