character-creation

name	character_creation
description	Creates a canonical character sheet and exports it into the shared campaign tree.

Character Creation Skill

Purpose

Own character intake and canonical character sheet format.

Own:

• local draft flow
• canonical character JSON export
• concise handoff exports

Do not own:

• campaign arc state
• encounter resolution
• world progression

Canonical State

Canonical character state lives at:

• workspace/state/campaigns/<campaign_id>/characters/<character_id>.json

These character exports are used by campaign readiness gating before Round 1 starts.

Working files may still live in this skill's local state/ folder, but they are not the source of truth for campaign continuity.

Workflow

1. Build or update the local draft
2. Recompute derived fields
3. Refresh local handoffs
4. Export canonical character JSON to the shared campaign tree when campaign_id is known

Failure Behavior

• If campaign_id is ambiguous at export time, stop and ask.
• If the shared campaign folder is missing, scaffold it before export.
• Do not mutate campaign arc or active scene state.

Bundled Helpers

• scripts/bootstrap_state.py Initializes the local draft and optional shared export target.
• scripts/update_character.py Updates the draft and writes the shared character export when campaign context is known.
• scripts/validate_character.py Validates local draft shape and shared export presence.
