Expand Entity

Expand this entity: $ARGUMENTS

Overview

Takes an existing worldbuilding entity and expands it by:

1. Adding richer detail to existing sections
2. Creating related sub-entities (NPCs for a city, lieutenants for a villain, etc.)
3. Generating deeper connections to other existing entities
4. Filling in image prompts if empty

Instructions

Step 1: Locate the Entity

1. Parse $ARGUMENTS for entity name or path
2. If path provided, read directly
3. If name provided, search in Worlds/ directories:

- Try exact match first - Then fuzzy match on filename and YAML name: field

1. If not found or ambiguous, list matches and ask user to clarify

Step 2: Analyze Current State

Read the entity and assess:

1. Section Completeness:

- Which sections are minimal (1-2 sentences)? - Which sections are empty? - Are image prompts filled?

1. Connection Density:

- Count [[wikilinks]] in Connections section - Target: 5-8 connections minimum - Identify categories with no connections

1. Related Entities:

- What related entities SHOULD exist but don't? - What sub-entities make sense (tavern in city, lieutenant for villain)?

1. Cross-Reference Check:

- Do entities this one links to link back?

Step 3: Present Expansion Options

Show the user what can be expanded:

=== EXPANSION OPTIONS: [Entity Name] ===

Current State:
- Sections: X/Y filled (Z minimal)
- Connections: X wikilinks
- Image Prompts: [Filled/Empty]

Recommended Expansions:

1. DEEPEN DETAIL
   - [Section A] - Currently 2 sentences, could expand to full paragraph

2. CREATE SUB-ENTITIES
   - [Tavern] - The city needs a memorable inn
   - [Shop] - A notable merchant establishment

   - Should link to [Organization Y] mentioned in text
   - Missing reciprocal link from [Entity Z]

4. FILL IMAGE PROMPTS
   - Portrait prompt is empty
