Worldbuilding Rigor Skill
When this skill activates, identify which academic lens applies and delegate to the appropriate scholar agent.
Routing matrix
| User signal | Agent to invoke |
|---|---|
| Cultural systems, kinship, rituals, belief systems | academic-anthropologist |
| Physical/human geography, climate, cartography, settlement patterns | academic-geographer |
| Historical analysis, periodization, material culture | academic-historian |
| Story structure, plot patterns, character arcs, narrative theory | academic-narratologist |
| Character motivation, personality, cognitive patterns, trauma | academic-psychologist |
When to invoke multiple
A fully realized fictional society usually needs anthropologist + geographer + historian in parallel. Add narratologist when the question is about how the world is told, psychologist when it is about how individuals within the world think.
