Can I use this for non-Emberwild projects?

While optimized for the Emberwild Archive structure, its logic for adding provenance and rumors can be adapted for any markdown-based game database.

Does it support batch processing?

Yes, it is designed to take a batch size and range (e.g., items 001–050) from a master list to process updates efficiently.

Will it create new files in my repository?

Yes, if no relevant link targets exist for an item, the skill will create 1-3 tiny lore stubs to ensure a connected world structure.

Does this skill update my project indexes?

Yes, it automatically updates 00_MASTER_INDEX/Items_Index.md whenever new files are created or new packs are added.

What fields does this skill add to my items?

The skill adds four specific fields: Origin, First Known Maker, Rumor, and a 'See also' section with three relevant internal links.

About

The Item Provenance skill is a specialized tool for narrative designers and game developers working within the Emberwild Archive. It automates the process of enriching item databases by injecting micro-lore—such as historical origins, legendary makers, and localized rumors—while maintaining strict formatting standards and cross-reference integrity. This skill is essential for scaling world-building efforts, ensuring that every artifact in a game's index feels lived-in and connected to the broader setting without manual data entry fatigue.
