environmental-design

name: environmental-design description: Extract environmental entities from narrative text. Use when analyzing weather, atmosphere, lighting, time periods, natural disasters, cataclysms, plagues, and world events.

Domain skill for environmental conditions and events extraction.

Entity Types

Type	Description
`environment`	General environmental setting or biome
`weather_pattern`	Weather system or meteorological condition
`atmosphere`	Atmospheric condition (fog, pressure, air quality)
`lighting`	Lighting condition (natural or magical)
`time_period`	Time of day or seasonal context
`disaster`	Natural disaster (storm, flood, earthquake)
`cataclysm`	Major catastrophic event
`world_event`	Significant world-scale event
`seasonal_event`	Recurring seasonal occurrence
`plague`	Disease outbreak or epidemic

Domain Constraints

time_of_day: day, night, dawn, dusk
weather: clear, rainy, stormy, foggy
lighting: bright, dim, dark, magical

Extraction Rules

Weather: Rain, snow, storms, clear sky — note intensity and duration
Time: Dawn, noon, dusk, midnight — track progression through text
Atmosphere: Fog, oppressive heat, crisp air — sensory details
Disasters: Storms, floods, earthquakes — scale, impact, duration
World events: Wars, plagues, seasonal celebrations — scope and significance

Output Format

Write to entities/world.json (world-team file):

Key Considerations

Mood impact: Environment affects narrative tone (storms = tension, dawn = hope)
Narrative function: Weather often mirrors story events (pathetic fallacy)
Temporal flow: Track time progression and environmental changes through text
Cross-references: If needed, track relationships separately in drafts, but final JSON must match LoreData.from_dict.
