Arcanea Mythic Overlay

Factual content → the same facts with an Arcanea mythic framing layered on top, kept clearly separable.

Purpose

Arcanea is the mythic universe register (Guardian/Luminor names, CC-BY-NC canon). This skill adds an Arcanea narrative overlay to real content — a framing that makes it feel part of the universe — while keeping the factual layer intact and clearly distinguishable, so the mythology never overwrites the truth.

When it fires

• Keyword triggers: arcanea, mythic, mythic overlay, guardian framing, universe framing
• File triggers: arcanea/**, *.myth.md
• Command triggers: /arcanea-mythic-overlay

Inputs

Workflow

1. Lock the facts — identify the factual claims that must remain true and unchanged. ✅ Check: a clean factual layer exists.
2. Choose canon hooks — relevant Guardian/Luminor names and motifs (Arcanea canon, attributed CC-BY-NC).
3. Layer the framing — narrative wrapper at the chosen intensity, around (not replacing) the facts.
4. Separation pass — the output marks which parts are myth and which are fact; facts are never altered by the overlay.
5. Attribution — note Arcanea canon usage (CC-BY-NC) per the brand register.

Output contract

{
  "factual_layer": "string — unchanged facts",

Tools & MCP

• Tools: Read. MCP: none required.

Quality bar

• Factual layer is preserved verbatim in meaning; myth never edits fact.
• Myth and fact are distinguishable in the output.
• Arcanea canon is attributed (CC-BY-NC).
• Register is Arcanea-mythic, not Starlight-substrate.

Example

Input: the APOD "Pillars of Creation" short → factual_layer keeps the science + credit; mythic_overlay frames the pillars in Arcanea canon; combined keeps them separable.
