Pordl Creative Writer

Route fiction drafting and long-form creative writing through PORDL's cost-optimized creative mode. Use this skill when the user is writing a novel, short story, screenplay, or game narrative and wants to draft chapters, develop characters, write dialogue, build scenes, or do worldbuilding through an affordable API — or when the user mentions PORDL for writing. Do not trigger for business copywriting, marketing copy, or general chat.

Draft fiction, develop characters, and build worlds using PORDL's creative routing mode — models selected for prose quality at a fraction of frontier-model cost.

What This Does

PORDL's creative routing mode selects models optimized for narrative writing rather than reasoning benchmarks, prioritizing:

• Prose quality — vivid, natural writing over benchmark scores
• Character consistency across long drafting sessions
• Context retention for multi-chapter manuscripts
• Natural dialogue with distinct character voices

Built for novelists, short-fiction writers, screenwriters, and game-narrative designers who draft at volume and don't want frontier-model prices on every iteration.

Making API Calls

bash

curl -X POST https://api.pordl.dev/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PORDL_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "model": "auto",
    "routing_mode": "creative",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "system", "content": "You are a skilled fiction writer. Write vivid, immersive prose with strong character voices and sensory detail."},
      {"role": "user", "content": "Write the opening scene..."}
    ],
    "temperature": 0.9,
    "max_tokens": 2000,
    "stream": true
  }'

Query https://api.pordl.dev/v1/models for available models; auto with routing_mode: "creative" picks the best prose model for each request.

Recommended Settings

• temperature: 0.85–1.0
• max_tokens: 1500–3000 (a full scene without cutoff)
• stream: true (see text as it's written)

Tips for Better Results

1. Give context — a paragraph describing your world, characters, and tone produces immersive prose; a one-liner produces generic writing.
2. Define recurring characters in the system prompt — name, personality, speaking style, key relationships.
3. Set the scene — location, time of day, mood. Sensory context in produces sensory writing out.
4. Don't over-instruct — "write a sad scene" beats a paragraph of stage directions. Let the model make creative choices.
5. Iterate, don't restart — "make the dialogue sharper" beats regenerating from scratch.
