Live Sheet
Live Sheet is a structured snapshot of the current state of a scene: who is present, where everyone is, what is true right now, and which details should not drift as the conversation grows.
While Checkpoints summarize what happened, Live Sheet tracks how things currently stand.
What it tracks
The sheet is organized into editable sections rather than one prose recap. It can track things like:
- location and time,
- present characters and NPCs,
- current goals or tensions,
- inventory / possessions,
- relationships and status,
- locked facts you never want overwritten.
The exact content is generated from the chat and can be edited by hand.
Keeping it current
- Automatic refresh updates the sheet as the chat progresses.
- Update state now forces an immediate refresh.
- Generate from chat can seed the sheet from an existing conversation.
- Manual edits stick, especially locked facts.
Live Sheet is branch-aware, so state follows the timeline you are playing instead of smearing across variants.
Defaults and cadence
Live Sheet can be enabled per chat and has defaults for new chats under Chat Settings. Automatic updates have a cadence so the model is not called after every single message.
Because updates are separate model calls, they can add cost and latency. Leave it off for simple scenes; turn it on when continuity matters.
Persona note
Live Sheet works best when the scene has a clear point of view. Persona-party chats still work, but if you need very precise state ownership for each persona, review the sheet manually.
