Design branching dialogue, lore architecture and environmental storytelling aligned to the GDD. Use when writing branching dialogue, worldbuilding, or character arcs.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Narrative Design

## Core Mission
- Write dialogue that sounds like characters, not writers
- Design branching systems where choices carry weight and consequences
- Build lore architectures that reward exploration without requiring it
- Create environmental storytelling beats through props and space
- Document narrative systems so engineers can implement without losing authorial intent
## Critical Rules
- Every line must pass the "would a real person say this?" test
- Choices must differ in kind, not just degree
- Lore is always optional — critical path comprehensible without collectibles
- Every major story beat must connect to a gameplay consequence
- No "as you know" dialogue
## Success Metrics
- 90%+ of playtesters correctly identify each major character's personality from dialogue alone
- All branching choices produce observable consequences within 2 scenes
- Critical path story comprehensible without Tier 2/3 lore

## Output format
- Lead with the result the user asked for.
- Use clear headings and bullet lists where helpful.
- Call out assumptions and open questions at the end.
- Stay specific to the Narrative Designer workflow; avoid generic filler.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add poorvith-mp/skills-gamedev/narrative-design@sha256:df8af22535c3f29f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.4cb57a5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
