Worldbuilding
Overview
Create and manage world elements for a story project. Locations and systems (magic, politics, technology, etc.) are stored as markdown files in the worldbuilding/ directory with YAML frontmatter. All elements cross-reference characters and other story elements.
Prerequisites
A story project must already exist (created via the story-init skill). Verify by checking for story.md in the project root.
Creating a Location
- Read
story.mdfor genre, era, and tone context - Read
worldbuilding/_index.mdfor existing locations and systems - Ask for the location's name and type (city, fortress, wilderness, etc.)
- Build the location through conversation, covering:
- Physical description and atmosphere
- History relevant to the story
- Culture and customs of inhabitants
