seed-hard-scifi

name	seed-hard-scifi
description	Turn a concept, term, technical mechanism, code fragment, or completed conversation into a scientifically grounded hard-science-fiction premise. Use when the user asks for a hard sci-fi angle, speculative extrapolation, story seed, worldbuilding consequence, or a fresh lens on the topic just discussed.

Seed Hard Sci-Fi

Extrapolate one real mechanism into a compact premise whose human consequences feel stranger than its technology.

Workflow

1. Extract the most generative mechanism from the source topic. Prefer a constraint, failure mode, tradeoff, or second-order effect over a product name.
2. Preserve a firm anchor in current science or engineering. If a factual claim matters and may be unstable or uncertain, verify it before building on it.
3. Make one primary speculative leap. State it clearly instead of hiding several miracles inside jargon.
4. Follow the consequences through three layers:
   • how the mechanism works;
   • how people experience it from the inside;
   • what social norm, institution, conflict, or failure mode emerges.
5. Choose a viewpoint character and a moment when the system behaves unexpectedly. A premise becomes a story when it creates a costly decision.
6. Give the concept a restrained, plausible name only if naming improves recall.

Constraints

• Keep the science causal and internally consistent.
• Distinguish established fact, plausible extrapolation, and deliberate invention.
• Avoid generic dystopia, omnipotent AI, unexplained quantum effects, and cosmetic space settings.
• Explore implications before adding more technology.
• Do not automatically append a sci-fi seed to unrelated answers; run this skill only when invoked or clearly requested.

Output

Write in the user's language. Default to 3–6 paragraphs, followed by three compact lines:

• Anchor: the real mechanism.
• Leap: the single speculative assumption.
• Story pressure: the decision or conflict that makes the premise narratively alive.
