Applying Reverb in Bulk
Use scripts/apply_reverb.py to apply reverb to a numbered range of sound entries:
python .claude/skills/reverb/scripts/apply_reverb.py anewbeginning-syndra 1 38 BIG_CAVE
Args: <file-prefix> <start> <end> <reverb-type>
Run from the project root. Modifies sounds/sounds.json in place. Only affects entries that don't already have a reverb field.
