Koydo AdaptLoom

Read the PD source aloud as a family across 1–3 sessions and compose a shared paragraph naming what the family heard the story doing.

Family reads the PD source aloud across 1–3 sessions; composes a single shared paragraph naming what we heard this story doing; young writer is the named author of at least one sentence; Foli scaffolds with the canonical framing line this story was told before us; we are listening with our own ears now opening every session. Inverts Koydo Adaptation's Beat 1 (Seed-Classic — Koydo adaptor reads the PD source alone and writes an adapter-voice summary) — instead of the Koydo adaptor reading alone, the family reads aloud together; instead of receiving the source as a Koydo-curated thing, the family declares its stance toward the source.

B-beat anchor: B1 Seed-Classic — Koydo adaptor reads the PD source end-to-end and writes a one-paragraph adapter-voice summary. — Koydo-adaptor reads alone → family reads aloud together; receive-the-source → declare-the-family-stance

Name which family member is the primary audience, which plot beats survive, which characters survive, and which thematic threads survive.

Family names: (i) which family member is the primary audience for the family's adaptation (often a younger sibling); (ii) which beats of the source plot the family wants to keep; (iii) which characters survive into the family's retelling; (iv) which thematic threads survive; Drust scaffolds the through-line question; young writer leads (iii) and (iv), parent leads (i) and (ii). Inverts Koydo Adaptation's Beat 2 (Period-Frame — Koydo adaptor identifies which Koydo age-tier the work belongs to) — instead of mapping the giver (which Koydo age tier owns this), map the receiver (which family member is the adaptation for).

B-beat anchor: B2 Period-Frame — Koydo adaptor produces an Audience-Map document (surviving beats, characters, thematic threads, cast-lead manifest) for a specific Koydo age tier. — map the giver: which Koydo age tier owns this → map the receiver: which family member is the adaptation for

Notice what felt hard, pick a plain-language strategy per hard part, and route any honor-variant choice to a Koydo sensitive-content reviewer.

Kid-safe scaffold in three substeps. L3a Notice-What-Felt-Hard — family answers one open question (was there a part that felt hard to hear, that you didn't want to keep in our retelling?); young writer answers first, parent second; no category rubric exposed to the family. L3b Name-The-Strategy-In-Plain-Words — family picks one of four plain-language strategies per hard part (leave it out / tell it differently / name it carefully and stay with it / breathe slowly through it) — never the adapter taxonomy jargon. L3c Route-To-Koydo-Reviewer-If-Honor-Variant — any name-it-carefully choice routes to the Pick F §13.5 Sensitive-Content Reviewer before L4 proceeds; the family never performs the audit with Koydo's category rubric. Inverts the Koydo-adaptor-performs-the-audit pattern into family-thinks-about-the-screening-question with Koydo as safety floor.

B-beat anchor: B3 Modern-Mirror (Trauma-Audit) — Koydo adaptor performs the structured trauma-audit against the internal category rubric; reviewer co-signs Tier-2+ flags. — Koydo-adaptor performs the audit on behalf of the listener → family thinks about the screening question, picks plain-language strategy, Koydo reviewer gates honor-variant choices

Write the retelling scene by scene in the family's own voices. The long beat. No sentence and no phrase of more than three consecutive words may match the source.

Family writes the retelling, scene by scene, in the family's own voices; young writer is named primary author; parent acts as scribe (Junior), co-author (Kids), named collaborator (Tweens), or sounding-board (Teens); for each scene, family names which family member voices which character; Koydo cast cameos are scaffolded by sister StoryLoom method; the no-three-word-match rule from Pick F §3 is enforced via the plain-language version (this telling is yours, in your own words. Even when you keep what happens, the words are yours) shown at every L4 session. The long beat. Inverts Koydo Adaptation's Beat 4 (Adapt-Voice — Koydo adaptor writes each surviving beat in Koydo cast voices) — instead of interpret-into-pattern (Koydo-author writes Koydo-original prose), compose-into-pattern (family writes family-original prose on the same source).

B-beat anchor: B4 Adapt-Voice — Koydo adaptor writes each surviving beat in Koydo cast voices; no sentence matches the source; no phrase of more than three consecutive words matches the source. The longest beat in author-time. — interpret-into-pattern (Koydo-author writes Koydo-original prose) → compose-into-pattern (family writes family-original prose on the same source)

Write the family honor-line and confirm non-republication. Editorial close.

Editorial close: family writes a short honor-line — one sentence naming what their retelling kept faithful to the source, one sentence naming what is uniquely theirs; Foli scaffolds the framing in the first telling, this story did X; in our telling, we kept X with our own words; young writer reads the honor-line aloud at session close; non-republication rule reconfirmed by parent signature (or family-name signature for older young writers). This is the family-side equivalent of Pick F's koydo_classics_original_honor declaration. Inverts Koydo Adaptation's Beat 5 (Original-Honor — Koydo adaptor confirms the adaptation honors the original's intent and does not republish the original's prose) editorial-to-editorial: Koydo-verifies-its-own-work → family-verifies-their-own-work.

B-beat anchor: B5 Original-Honor — Koydo adaptor confirms intent-honor and non-republication; produces the koydo_classics_original_honor row + colophon string + consumer-surface citation line; editor and (Tier-3) reviewer co-sign. — editorial close: Koydo-verifies-its-own-work → editorial close: family-verifies-their-own-work

Complete the 1-page hand-off with shelf opt-in and Star-Sail badge unlocks; optional Pick E Pillar 6 family-authored audio candidate flag.

Release: family completes a 1-page hand-off (arc title, young writer name or chosen author-name, date span of the project) plus opt-in for whether the retelling is (i) family-private, (ii) shared on Story Workshop family-authored shelf, or (iii) submitted as a candidate for Pick E Pillar 6 family-authored audio (DI-10). Hand-off triggers Star-Sail badges (star-sail.story-workshop.adapter-arc-shipped, plus Pick F held-with-care family-tier sibling badge if L3 routed an honor-variant through L3c). With parent opt-in, the Pick E Pillar 6 candidate flag fires. Inverts Koydo Adaptation's Beat 6 (Reflect-Forward — Koydo adaptor binds the finished episode to Star-Sail badges; consumer-listener earns badges) — instead of consumer-listener earning badges at episode close, family-author grants the made retelling forward to the consuming surface and earns adapter-arc badges.

B-beat anchor: B6 Reflect-Forward — Koydo adaptor binds the finished episode to Koydo Adaptation Star-Sail badges and to Koydo Companion progression events; episode emits a Selvage narrative-event row; consumer-surface listener earns badges. — consumer-listener earns badges at episode close → family-author grants the made retelling forward to the consuming surface

§2.1 Consumer anchor — PASS. The anchor is Koydo Adaptation (Classics-Adaptation), a fully-specified six-beat method at the Pick F koydo-classics-method.md §8 (Seed-Classic → Period-Frame → Modern-Mirror → Adapt-Voice → Original-Honor → Reflect-Forward). The anchor is itself author-side (runs at Koydo writers' desks), permitted by family doc §1: receive → compose. AdaptLoom inverts the receptive shape into a family-side compositional shape on the family's own chosen source text.

§2.2 Inverse-shape integrity — PASS. All six L-beats invert their B-beat anchors with no non-inverting beat. Beat 5 (Original-Honor → Family-Honor) is editorial on both sides; no physiological-regulation beat exists in the Classics-Adaptation anchor, so the family doc §2.2 BreathLoom hazard does not apply. The careful inversion is L3 (Modern-Mirror Trauma-Audit), which inverts function while honoring developmental appropriateness and the Pick F §3 trauma-audit IP moat — resolved by a family-thinking-about-the-screening-question scaffold and Koydo-reviewer routing on honor-variant choices.

§2.3 Family-or-individual maker fit — PASS. AdaptLoom output is a kept thing: a family-authored adaptation packet with six tangible sub-artifacts (family-voice source summary, Audience-Map page, hard-part choices + reviewer record, family retelling prose, honor-line + non-republication confirmation, hand-off page). Durable, citeable, lives on the family-authored shelf inside Story Workshop, optional hand-off to Pick E Pillar 6 family-authored audio.

§2.4 Cast voice compatibility — PASS, with cast.md gap noted. AdaptLoom inherits Pick F (Classics) cast.md verbatim for any Koydo cast cameo. Foli scaffolds L1, L3a, L5; Drust scaffolds L2 and L6; Pim co-scaffolds Junior tier. The young writer is named primary author across all six L-beats. Story Workshop's own cast.md is not yet shipped — register-ledger gap, not a signature-voice violation. No mint hold.

§2.5 AIO citation surface viability — PASS. The 150-word AIO block, the §4 six-beat inversion table rendered as HowTo, the explicit consumer-anchor cross-link to Koydo Adaptation, the Koydo Lyceum byline with KOYDO LLC publisher binding, and the public-domain source-text precondition (US PD only) all hit the method-detail-page checklist.

Result: 5 of 5 pass. AdaptLoom earns the *Loom suffix. §2.2 was the load-bearing test; the L3 kid-safe trauma-audit-inversion required the most careful design — resolved by preserving function-inversion while honoring developmental and IP-moat governance via Koydo-reviewer routing on honor-variant choices.
