KID Authoring

Overview

KID (Keyword Item Distributor, by powerofthree) is an SKSE plugin that adds keywords to items — weapons, armor, ammo, magic effects, potions, scrolls, books, soul gems, spells, enchantments, and more (19 item types) — at game startup, driven by plain-text _KID.ini files. It writes nothing to plugins or saves; it re-applies its keywords from scratch on each launch, so a KID mod is trace-free to add or remove. This skill composes correct KID lines and places the file, drawing every type, filter, trait, value, and example from the bundled grammar reference in references/.

It is a procedural skill with a reference-lookup core — the look-it-up-never-invent discipline that papyrus-reference, mutagen-reference, and the sibling spid-authoring / skypatcher-authoring use, because a fabricated KID token fails silently (see "Bundled-or-warn").
