## How to Use the Story Bible
### 1. Adding a New Character
1. **Copy the template:**
```bash
cp 01-Characters/main_characters/01_character_template.md 01-Characters/main_characters/03_new_character.md
```
2. **Fill in the YAML frontmatter first:**
```yaml
---
id: unique_id
name: Character Name
slug: character-name
type: protagonist|antagonist|ally|enemy|mentor
status: active|draft|deceased|retired
tags: [tag1, tag2]
appearances: [chapter_1, chapter_5]
related_characters: [character_a, character_b]
---
```
3. **Complete the character sheet** with all known information
4. **Add to index files:**
- Update `01-Characters/_index.md`
- Update `01-Characters/character_grid.md`
5. **Create cross-links** from other relevant entries
### 2. Adding a New Location
1. **Choose the type:** Region, City, or Building
2. **Copy the appropriate template**
3. **Fill in details** including relationships to characters
4. **Add to Locations index**
5. **Link from character files** that use this location
### 3. Adding Lore
- **Historical Events:** Copy template from `03-Lore/history/`
- **Factions:** Copy template from `03-Lore/factions/`
- **World Rules:** Edit `03-Lore/rules.md`
### 4. Maintaining Consistency
- **After each writing session:** Update relevant Bible entries

## Key Features
### YAML Frontmatter
Every entry starts with YAML metadata for easy filtering and searching:
```yaml
---
id: unique_identifier
name: Display Name
slug: url-friendly-name
type: category
tags: [tag1, tag2, tag3]
related_entities: [entity_a, entity_b]
status: active|draft|archived
created: "2024-01-01"
updated: "2024-01-01"
---
```
### Wiki-Links
Use `[[Link Text|file-name]]` or `[[file-name]]` to create cross-references:
```markdown
- **Current Owner:** [[John Doe]]
- **Location:** [[Castle Black]]
- **Related Event:** [[The War of Ashes|history/war_of_ashes]]
```
### Mermaid Diagrams
Create visual relationship maps and timelines:
````markdown
```mermaid
graph LR
A[John] -->|Brother| B[James]
A -->|Mentor| C[Robert]
```
````
### Tables
Use tables for structured data:
```markdown
| Attribute | Value |
|-----------|-------|
| Age | 30 |
| Gender | Male |
```

## Best Practices
### 1. Start Simple
- Begin with basic information
- Add details as they become relevant
- Don't over-document early drafts
### 2. Stay Current
- Update entries immediately after writing scenes
- Don't let the Bible fall behind
- Small updates are easier than big ones
### 3. Use Cross-Links
- Link characters to locations
- Link locations to events
- Link events to lore
- This creates a web of knowledge
### 4. Tag Everything
- Use consistent tags
- Filter by tags when searching
- Examples: `#protagonist`, `#capital`, `#magic`, `#war`
### 5. Review Regularly
- Weekly: Quick scan for obvious issues
- Monthly: Deep consistency check
- Before publishing: Full verification
