RPG Content Pack Authoring (Kernel/Content Separation)

Use this skill when the user asks to add/modify world content (NPCs, quests, locations, lore, random tables, session logs) and you must keep the kernel stable.

Classification (stable)

• Kernel (stable API): input protocol, turn pipeline, HUD schema, save protocol, RAG rules, conflict policy.
• Content packs (mutable data): NPCs, quests, locations, world state, random tables, session history, fiction.

Authoring rules

• Put facts in content (cartridges/<id>/lore/, cartridges/<id>/characters/, cartridges/<id>/locations/, cartridges/<id>/quests/), not in kernel prompts.
• Keep files small and indexed: add tags/anchors so RAG can fetch tiny snippets.
• Maintain alias → stable ID through roster/index files (so players can type natural language).
• Update dynamic state only via append/patch (ARCHIVE_DELTA style).
