[question] writing-prompt-generator 立项实现

[try to solve]

Context

The prompt-builder keyword funnel identified writing prompt generator as a build candidate: users want ready-made creative writing starters (dialogue, character, script beats, random mix) without sending drafts to a server. The parent cluster already has prompt-template-builder (structured templates + optional Workers AI expand/polish). This tool fills the fiction/creative writing intent with 100% local generation.

Process

1. Brief & coverage — Created work-tasks/writing-prompt-generator/ with 02-tool-info.md (marked ready) and 03-locale-briefs.md. Ran npm run coverage:gate -- --slug=writing-prompt-generator --phase=all (0b + phase 2/4 tables).
2. Catalog & page — Added shard src/site/tool-catalog.d/writing-prompt-generator.json (page.style: opts, localProcessing: true, related: prompt-template-builder, chatgpt-export-to-markdown). Implemented src/pages/writingPromptGeneratorPage.ts with modes: Dialogue, Character, Script, Random; MD/JSON export; loadSample() dialogue preset; DOM prefix wpg.
3. i18n — Master en.ts plus nine locale rewrites (zh, es, ar, pt, id, fr, ja, ru, de), 88 keys each under src/site/i18n/tools/writing-prompt-generator/.
4. Cross-link — Added writing-prompt-generator to prompt-template-builder catalog related. Updated README tool lists (zh/en).
5. Build fix — First verify:tool failed in renderHeader (replaceAll on undefined). Aligned header/sidebar/footer args with promptTemplateBuilderPage.ts: brandHref, enabledLangs, sidebar { title, groups, id }, footer { lang } only.
6. Ship gate — CROSS_TOOL_UPDATE=1 npm run verify:tool -- --slug=writing-prompt-generator passed (coverage, merge, build:site, HTML smoke, lint:seo, isolation).

Root cause / analysis

• Intent split: prompt-template-builder targets reusable instruction templates and optional AI polish; writing-prompt-generator targets creative fiction starters with deterministic local combinatorics — no Worker AI dependency, lower abuse surface.
• Layout bug: New page copied an older renderHeader signature; site layout now expects brandHref + enabledLangs instead of passing raw defaultLang into header helpers.

Solution

Production deploy: run usual Cloudflare Pages pipeline after commit; no new Worker bindings required for this tool.

Notes / boundaries

• Does not call Workers AI or Turnstile — purely client-side.
• Topic hub ai-prompt-template-builder and midjourney-prompt-builder remain separate backlog items.
• Icon: public/icons/tools/writing-prompt-generator.svg.

[actions]

• Added catalog shard, page, icon, ten locale i18n shards, work-tasks briefs
• Cross-linked prompt-template-builder.json related; README tool lists
• Fixed writingPromptGeneratorPage.ts layout render args
• npm run merge:tools, npm run build:site, verify:tool OK
