Chapter 5 — Lvl 3-4 Variants

Bigger variants that change the prompts or the structure of a workflow. These are not auto-approved — they go through a testing phase first, then graduate on explicit user approval.

What you'll learn

  • What makes Lvl 3 different from Lvl 1-2 (prompt changes, not just dialogue / wardrobe)
  • What makes Lvl 4 different from Lvl 3 (structural changes: add / remove / split scenes, new prehooks)
  • The testing phase (V{N+1}-0-1 → V{N+1}-0-2 → ...) and why it exists
  • How to iterate with the prompt-tuning skill during testing
  • When to graduate from testing to V{N+1} (the approval bar)
  • What lives in testing/ vs. approved/

Before this chapter

Read Chapter 4 — Quality, Testing & Prompt Tuning. You need to know how to judge a generation and how the prompt-tuning skill works before Lvl 3-4 makes sense.

Sections

  1. Lvl 3: environment / camera / setting changes — bigger than wardrobe, smaller than structural
  2. Lvl 4: structural changes — add / remove / split scenes, new prehook
  3. The testing phase — V{N+1}-0-N iteration mechanics
  4. Iterating with prompt-tuning — when to reach for it during testing
  5. Graduation: when to bump to V{N+1} — the approval bar

When you're ready

→ Next: Chapter 6 — Fan-out & Multi-account. Once you've got a workflow that works on one account, ship it to the others. The 7-step protocol, the STANDARD vs CUSTOMIZED rule, and the tracker-sync follow-up.
