# AI D&D — Local AI Dungeon Clone: Plan Overview
|
|
|
|
A locally hosted web app replicating AI Dungeon's core experience: scenarios, adventures,
|
|
AI-driven storytelling, AI Dungeon-style memory/context management, JavaScript scripting
|
|
(compatible with real AI Dungeon scripts), and full transparency into what is sent to the AI.
|
|
|
|
## Confirmed decisions
|
|
|
|
| Area | Decision |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| Backend | Python — FastAPI + SQLAlchemy + SQLite (single-user, local) |
|
|
| Frontend | React SPA (Vite), dark AI Dungeon-like theme |
|
|
| AI provider | Provider-agnostic adapter layer; first adapter: **OpenAI-compatible** (`/v1/chat/completions`) — covers Ollama, LM Studio, OpenAI, OpenRouter, vLLM, Groq. Endpoint URL, API key, model name all configurable at runtime. |
|
|
| Scripting | **JavaScript, AI Dungeon-compatible** (`onInput` / `onModelContext` / `onOutput` modifiers, shared `state`, `worldEntries` API) via an embedded JS engine (quickjs / py-mini-racer). Real AI Dungeon scripts should import and run. |
|
|
| Import/export | AI Dungeon-compatible formats for scripts and scenarios; JSON export/import for everything. |
|
|
|
|
## Architecture at a glance

|
|
└─ data.db (SQLite)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Core domain model
|
|
|
|
- **Scenario** — template: title, description, opening prompt (with `${placeholders}`), memory,
|
|
author's note, story cards (world info), attached scripts, tags.
|
|
- **Adventure** — a playthrough created from a scenario (or blank). Owns its own copy of memory,
|
|
author's note, story cards, script state, and the action list.
|
|
- **Action** — one entry in the story: type (`do` / `say` / `story` / `continue` / AI output),
|
|
text, timestamp, plus the **context snapshot** (exact prompt sent to the AI) for Insights.
|
|
- **Story Card / World Info** — keys (comma-separated keywords), entry text, optional type/notes.
|
|
Injected into context only when a key matches recent story text.
|
|
- **Script** — JS source per hook (input / context / output modifier), attachable to scenarios;
|
|
copied into adventures with persistent `state`.
|
|
|
|
## The turn pipeline (heart of the app)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
player input
|
|
→ onInput script modifier
|
|
→ store player action
|
|
→ assemble context: [AI instructions] + [plot essentials] + [story summary]
|
|
+ [triggered story cards ("World Lore:")] + [story history, token-budgeted]
|
|
+ [author's note inserted N lines from the end] + [player action]
|
|
→ onModelContext script modifier
|
|
→ snapshot context (Insights)
|
|
→ provider adapter → AI (streamed)
|
|
→ onOutput script modifier
|
|
→ store AI action → render
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Phases
|
|
|
|
1. **[Phase 1 — Foundation](01-phase-foundation.md)**: repo scaffold, FastAPI + SQLite models,
|
|
React shell, scenario/adventure CRUD, settings (endpoint config).
|
|
2. **[Phase 2 — Play loop + AI](02-phase-play-loop.md)**: provider adapter with streaming,
|
|
Do/Say/Story/Continue, Retry/Undo/Edit, the adventure play screen.
|
|
3. **[Phase 3 — Context engine + Insights](03-phase-context-insights.md)**: memory, author's note,
|
|
story cards with keyword triggering, token budgeting, per-turn prompt snapshots + Insights UI.
|
|
4. **[Phase 4 — Scripting](04-phase-scripting.md)**: embedded JS sandbox, AI Dungeon scripting API,
|
|
script editor, script + scenario import/export (AI Dungeon-compatible).
|
|
5. **[Phase 5 — Polish](05-phase-polish.md)**: AI Dungeon-like theming pass, placeholders on
|
|
scenario start, adventure export/import, quality-of-life and hardening.
|
|
6. **[Phase 6 — Auto Summarization + Memory Bank](06-phase-memory-bank.md)** *(optional)*:
|
|
modern AI Dungeon memory system — AI-generated memories every 6 actions, Story Summary every
|
|
15, embedding-based retrieval of relevant memories into context.
|
|
|
|
Each phase ends with the app runnable and testable end-to-end.
