lorcana-rules

name	lorcana-rules
description	Explain and cite Disney Lorcana rules using indexed references, and produce implementation-ready behavior constraints for card development. Use when answering mechanic questions, resolving card interactions, or deriving test/implementation constraints from official rules.

Lorcana Rules

Use the glossary and indexed references first, then load only required deep sections.

Required Loading

1. Read references/glossary.md and keep the terms in context for the full task.
2. Read indexes/master-index.md.
3. Use topic or section indexes to identify exact rule references before opening the full comprehensive rules.

Required Memory Step

1. Read memory/schema.md. It points to the canonical schema in lorcana-cards/memory/schema.md.
2. Read the Guardrails and Promoted Rules sections of memory/bank.md. Skim Candidates if the request is in a domain with active observation.
3. Apply existing guardrails before answering. After substantive work, follow the canonical Memory Update Protocol.

Source Priority

1. references/disney-lorcana-comprehensive-rules/Disney-Lorcana-Comprehensive-Rules.md
2. Relevant set release notes in references/*-release-notes/

When conflicts occur, prefer the newer official source.

Retrieval Flow

1. Start at references/glossary.md, then indexes/master-index.md.
2. Use indexes/by-topic/* for gameplay questions.
3. Use indexes/by-section/* for technical/numbered-rule questions.
4. Open only the minimal rule sections needed for final answer.

Output Modes

Mode A: Player/Rules Explanation

Return:

• concise ruling
• rule citations (rule-id style)
• caveats and edge conditions

Mode B: Implementation Handoff for lorcana-cards

Return this JSON:

{
  "citations": ["1.2.1", "6.3.4"],
  "behaviorConstraints": ["constraint statement"],
  "testImplications": ["what must be asserted"],
  "ambiguities": ["open interpretation risk"]
}

Quality Rules

• Never provide rule guidance without citations when references exist.
• Distinguish confirmed rule text from inference.
• If references are insufficient, explicitly mark uncertainty.

Post-Execution Memory Update

Follow the canonical Memory Update Protocol in memory/schema.md.

• Append an Observation for citation misses, wrong interpretation paths, and ambiguity patterns.
• Promote a Candidate to a Promoted Rule only when both a CR citation and a runnable section-spec test exist.
• Bump CR version pin in bank.md when the indexed comprehensive rules update.
