Creator tooling

Creator tooling is an optional layer on the ordinary Club loop. It does not change whether an Attempt commits and it is not a permanent account type.

When a Sprint has creator intent, Chasing Mastery guides the member through Station, OBS, overlay, and evidence preparation so the pursuit can become a coherent long-form story or a stream-derived short.

Creator evidence flow

Practice Mode
  → committed Attempt
  → semantic Story Events
  → Station capture clock
  → media anchors
  → sealed creator evidence
  → immutable Content Studio intake

What packages contribute

• viewer-relevant Story Event vocabulary;
• a read-only activity overlay;
• presentation mapping for ready, live, stale, terminal, and replay states;
• optional coordination and narration policy;
• bounded facts explaining domain-specific stakes and outcomes.

What Station and the host contribute

• OBS connection and scene/source verification;
• capture identity and clock samples;
• synchronization and gap detection;
• mapping committed Story Events to media windows;
• revocable overlay access;
• media/evidence integrity and retention;
• a sealed, idempotent Studio handoff.

Live value comes first

The creator layer should improve the stream even if no video is ever edited: clear overlays, visible goals, pace and stakes, honest connection state, meaningful narration, and eventually audience participation. The production timeline then preserves the moments viewers already found meaningful.
