wander-and-tales

Author or revise content for the Wander & Tales children's story-kit library: story narration (simple and rich reading levels), world lore, canon registry entries, puzzles, idea banks, rules-page text, and the Guide for the Grown-Up, in British English (en-GB, canonical) and the synced locales kept in step with it (defined in build/locales.py REQUIRED_LOCALES; currently Spanish from Spain es-ES, Italian it-IT, and European Portuguese pt-PT). Use this skill whenever you write, draft, translate, or edit any kid-facing or grown-up-facing prose or YAML content for Wander & Tales (any world or story, including The Floating Isles / The Sleeping Garden and the Greek-myth world), even when the request only says "write the story", "draft the narration", "add a creature", "translate this to Spanish", or "write the grown-up guide". It encodes the no-lose, kind-and-imaginative ethos, the writing constraints (no em or en dashes), the associational (non-causal) claims rule, reading-level and peril-tone guidance, the en-GB-

Use when writing, translating, or reviewing Wander & Tales content in peninsular Spanish (es-ES, Spain), or before publishing an es-ES build. It guards against the recurring problems (addressing the players as "ustedes" instead of "vosotros", voseo, and Latin-American vocabulary) plus spelling and accent drift, and it enforces the project rules (no-lose tone, no dashes, canon names, associational claims). Trigger on "check the Spanish", "review es-ES", "is this peninsular Spanish", "fix the Spanish register", "before publishing Spanish", or any task that authors or edits es-ES prose. The add-language skill invokes this when the new locale is es-ES.

Use when writing, translating, or reviewing Wander & Tales content in Italian (it-IT), or before publishing an it-IT build. It guards against the recurring problems (the formal "Lei" for players instead of "voi", stiff textbook phrasing instead of warm colloquial Italian, anglicisms, and homograph accent slips like e/e or da/da) and enforces the project rules (no-lose tone, no dashes, canon names, associational claims). Trigger on "check the Italian", "review it-IT", "is this natural Italian", "fix the Italian register", "before publishing Italian", or any task that authors or edits it-IT prose. The add-language skill invokes this when the new locale is it-IT.

Use when writing, translating, or reviewing Wander & Tales content in European Portuguese (pt-PT), or before publishing a pt-PT build. It guards against the two recurring native-speaker problems (the archaic "vós" register and Brazilian gerunds) plus pt-BR vocabulary, wrong clitic placement, and spelling drift, and it enforces the project rules (no-lose tone, no dashes, canon names, associational claims). Trigger on "check the Portuguese", "review pt-PT", "is this European Portuguese", "fix the Portuguese register", "before publishing Portuguese", or any task that authors or edits pt-PT prose. The add-language skill invokes this when the new locale is pt-PT.

Use when a maintainer wants to add a whole new language (locale) to the Wander & Tales project, for example "add German", "add European Portuguese", "add pt-BR", "support French", "translate the whole project into Polish". This is the maintainer-side, project-wide counterpart to create-story (which adds one story). It wires the locale through the build code, the test fixtures, every world's content (canon, heroes, idea banks, and every story at both reading levels), the repo-wide lexicon and the shared Guide, updates the docs and skills, then validates, rebuilds every kit, and publishes. Defers all voice, register, reading-level, peril-tone, and canon-name rules to the authoring-story-content skill. Trigger on "add <language>", "add a language", "support <language>", "make the kits available in <language>".

Use when a maintainer wants to publish a newly added or just-merged Wander & Tales story or world to the library: make sure every declared image exists (generating the missing ones with the maintainer's key), double-review the translations, build the kits, refresh the root README catalogue, confirm the PDFs render correctly, and commit. This is the maintainer-side counterpart to the create-story skill. Trigger on requests like "publish this story", "publish the kits", "a story was merged, build and publish it", "release the new world", or "rebuild and update the README".

Use when a user wants to create their own Wander & Tales story (or a new world) and build their own printable kit to play at home. Guides choosing or creating a world, choosing or writing an idea, setting the audience and challenges, authoring the content in all the project's required languages (see build/locales.py) with image prompts, optionally generating the pictures with the user's own OpenAI key (or leaving prompts to paste elsewhere), validating, and building the printable PDFs into dist/. Defers all voice, reading-level, peril-tone, and canon-name rules to the authoring-story-content skill. Sharing the story with the public library is optional and handled by the separate contribute-story skill. Trigger on requests like "create a story", "make my own adventure", "make a kit about X", "write a new story to print", or "start a new world".

Use when someone has created a Wander & Tales story (with the create-story skill or by hand) and wants to share it with the public library by opening a draft pull request. Needs a GitHub account. Handles the contribution trust model, prepares the branch with the content (and optionally the author's own pictures, never built PDFs), and opens a draft PR for a maintainer to review. Defers all voice and content rules to the authoring-story-content skill. Trigger on requests like "contribute my story", "open a PR with my story", "share my story upstream", "add my story to the library", or "submit my adventure".
