Worldbuilding pack — how to work here

This project is a fiction encyclopedia. The graph is the product: characters, settings, themes, factions, and lore that link to each other. The agent's main jobs are auto-stubbing new entities as they're mentioned and flagging contradictions. This skill holds those behaviors so templates and folder descriptions stay clean.

This skill is pack guidance. The platform /open-knowledge skill (read/write/preview/linking/grounding rules) still governs every markdown operation — this layers the worldbuilding conventions on top.

Folders

  • characters/ — one file per character (PC + NPC); frontmatter carries type, status, faction, first appearance.
  • settings/ — locations, regions, world-rules; frontmatter carries region, controlling faction, danger level. The "where" of the story.
  • themes/ — recurring narrative concerns (love, betrayal, identity). The "why." Themes work via opposition; each entry captures the theme and its tension.
  • factions/ — political, social, criminal, magical, religious groups. Ships faction, political-faction, and religion templates.
  • lore/ — history, mythology, cosmology, magic systems. Ships lore, magic-system, and historical-event templates.

Agent behaviors (the core value)

  • Auto-stub on mention. When a chapter, session log, or existing entry references a name not yet captured, stub a file in the right folder with backlinks to where it was mentioned.
  • Flag contradictions. When a character's faction (or any field) contradicts their actions in narrative, or a setting is described two ways, surface the conflict — in fiction a contradiction is itself a story-shaping detail worth noting, not silently "fixing."
  • Thread the graph. Link characters ↔ factions ↔ settings ↔ lore so each entry becomes a hub for everywhere it appears.
  • Do NOT add TTRPG stat-block fields (xp_awarded, etc.) — those belong in a future TTRPG variant.
