designing-lore
Skill2 starsChanged 7 months agoMITView on GitHub
Creates mythologies, legendary figures, historical eras, relics, and sacred artifacts for fictional worlds. Use when building creation myths, founding legends, historical timelines, mythic heroes, symbolic systems, or sacred objects, or when user says "origin story", "myth", "legend", "relic", "artifact", "ancient history", or "prophecy". Does NOT write final files — use /writing-worldbuilding for that.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 28
Does NOT write final files (use /writing-worldbuilding).
- Distinctive: line 29
Does NOT design physical biomes (use /designing-worlds).
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Designing Lore
Build the deep memory layer of fictional worlds.
Process
- Mythic Origin — sacrifice genesis, fragmented god, memory-echo, recursive loop, alien catalyst
- Legendary Figures — archetype, symbolic anchor, multi-region variants, current echoes
- Historical Eras — name, defining event, what survived but was twisted, how history persists
- Relics & Artifacts — type, functionality, origin, cultural reactions, rituals, conflict potential
- Cross-Reference — link myths to biomes, civilizations, factions; mark productive contradictions
Out of Scope
Does NOT write final files (use /writing-worldbuilding). Does NOT design physical biomes (use /designing-worlds).
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
