Appendix

Cross-cutting reference material. Scripting patterns, validation reference, narrative authoring guidance, editorial review checklist, and the voice catalog.

Advanced AI Instruction Techniques ai-advanced-techniques Instruction patterns observed in authored worlds that go beyond standard custom block usage — priority overrides, conditional routing, behavior suppression, and spawn guards. These are prose instructions to an AI model. The AI interprets and applies them; compliance is high but not guaranteed. Narrative & AI Authoring narrative-and-ai Cross-cutting authoring guidance for the narrator AI. Narrator Chat Tools narrator-chat-tools Read and modify tools the narrator can call through the in-game chat. Listing of every tool and what it returns or changes. Scripting Patterns scripting-patterns Mechanics that go beyond the schema. Trigger scripts, persistent state, and worked recipes. Validation & Size Limits validation-and-size-limits How the io-ts codec validates JSON, the hard size caps the editor enforces, and what the local validator script checks beyond the codec. Voice Catalog voice-catalog Every NPC can be given a `voiceTag` string that maps to a specific TTS voice. The gender prefix is part of the tag string and must be included (e.g. `"female posh british"`, `"male baritone warm"`). See the catalog below for all valid values.
