# LSP Phase 4: Navigation Features
## Status: ✅ Basic Implementation Complete
**Implemented:** Single-file go-to-definition and find-references
**Date:** 2026-02-09
**Tests:** 89/89 passing (11 new navigation tests)
## Features Implemented
### Go-to-Definition
- Jump to symbol definition when clicking on an identifier
- Works for: characters, templates, behaviors, species, life_arcs, schedules, etc.
- Returns accurate location with proper line/column positions
- Handles multiline documents correctly
### Find References
- Find all occurrences of a symbol in the current file
- Word boundary detection (won't match "Alice" in "Alison")
- Returns all locations where symbol is referenced
- Includes both declarations and uses
## Implementation Details
### Files Modified
- `storybook/src/lsp/definition.rs` - Fixed mutability, added proper position tracking
- `storybook/src/lsp/references.rs` - Fixed mutability, word boundary checking
- `storybook/src/lsp/server.rs` - Updated to use immutable references (read locks)
- `storybook/src/lsp/navigation_tests.rs` - 11 comprehensive tests
### Current Architecture
- **Single-file navigation**: Works within each open document independently
- **Symbol table**: Built from AST for each document (HashMap<String, Vec<SymbolLocation>>)
- **No cross-file support yet**: Each file is isolated
## Testing Coverage
### Navigation Tests (11 tests)
1. `test_goto_definition_character` - Basic go-to-definition
2. `test_goto_definition_not_found` - Handle missing symbols
3. `test_goto_definition_template` - Template navigation
4. `test_goto_definition_behavior` - Behavior tree navigation
5. `test_goto_definition_multiline` - Multiline document navigation
6. `test_find_references_character` - Basic find references
7. `test_find_references_single_occurrence` - Single reference
8. `test_find_references_not_found` - Handle edge cases
9. `test_find_references_word_boundaries` - Exact word matching
10. `test_find_references_multiple_files_same_name` - Template reuse
11. `test_find_references_species` - Species references
### Example Usage
**Go-to-Definition:**
```storybook
character Alice { age: 7 }
character Bob { friend: Alice } // Cmd+Click "Alice" → jumps to line 1
```
**Find References:**
```storybook
template Child { age: number }
character Alice: Child {} // Right-click "Child" → shows both uses
character Bob: Child {}
```
## Future Enhancements (Cross-File Navigation)
### What's Missing
- **Cross-file references**: Can't navigate to definitions in other files
- **Use declarations**: `use characters::Alice` not resolved
- **Workspace-level NameTable**: No global symbol resolution
- **Template includes**: Can't find where templates are used across files
- **Species inheritance**: Can't trace species usage across files
### Implementation Plan for Cross-File Support
1. Add workspace-level state to LSP server:
```rust
struct WorkspaceState {
name_table: NameTable,
file_mapping: HashMap<usize, Url>,
}
```
2. Build combined NameTable from all open documents
3. Rebuild on document changes
4. Use NameTable for cross-file navigation
5. Handle `use` declarations for imports
### Why Not Implemented Yet
- Requires significant architectural changes to server
- Need to track all files in workspace (not just open documents)
- Need file watching for unopened files
- More complex testing scenarios
- Current single-file solution covers 80% of use cases for MVP
## Phase 4 Verification Commands
### Run Navigation Tests
```bash
cd /Users/sienna/Development/storybook/storybook
cargo test --lib lsp::navigation_tests
```
### Run All LSP Tests
```bash
cd /Users/sienna/Development/storybook/storybook
cargo test --lib lsp
```
**Result:** 89/89 tests passing ✓
## Next Steps
**Phase 5 Options:**
1. **Continue with plan**: Implement editing assistance (completion, formatting)
2. **Enhance Phase 4**: Add cross-file navigation using NameTable
3. **Move to Phase 6**: Start on inspect panel with relationship graph
**Recommendation**: Continue with Phase 5 (editing assistance) since:
- Completion and formatting are high-value features
- Cross-file navigation can be added later as enhancement
- Better to have full single-file experience than partial multi-file
## Notes
- Single-file navigation works well for most development workflows
- Users typically work on one file at a time in Zed
- Cross-file can be added incrementally without breaking existing features
- Current implementation is robust and well-tested

## Run Commands
### LSP Tests
```bash
cd /Users/sienna/Development/storybook/storybook
cargo test --lib lsp
```
### Tree-sitter Tests
```bash
cd /Users/sienna/Development/storybook/tree-sitter-storybook
npm run test
```
**Note:** If Bash tool fails, use Serena's `execute_shell_command` instead.
## Behavior Tree Support Verified
Both LSP and tree-sitter grammar now have comprehensive behavior tree support:
### Node Types Tested:
- **action_node**: Simple action identifiers (e.g., `walk_around`)
- **selector_node**: `? { ... }` - Try options in order until one succeeds
- **sequence_node**: `> { ... }` - Execute children in sequence
- **repeat_node**: `* { ... }` - Repeat child forever
- **subtree_node**: `@path::to::tree` - Reference external behavior tree
### Syntax Examples:
```storybook
behavior SimpleBehavior {
walk_around
}
behavior ComplexBehavior {
? {
> {
check_threat
flee_to_safety
}
> {
check_resources
gather_resources
}
* {
idle
}
}
}
behavior WithSubtree {
> {
@helpers::check_preconditions
main_action
}
}
```

# Tree-sitter Grammar Commands
## Location
Tree-sitter grammar is at: `/Users/sienna/Development/storybook/tree-sitter-storybook/`
## Running Tests
**Use Serena's execute_shell_command when Bash tool fails:**
```bash
cd /Users/sienna/Development/storybook/tree-sitter-storybook && npm run test
```
This runs the tree-sitter test suite against all corpus files in `test/corpus/`.
## Test Corpus Structure
Test files are in `test/corpus/*.txt` format:
```
==================
Test Name
==================
[input code]
---
[expected parse tree]
```
### Key Parse Tree Patterns for Behaviors:
1. **All declarations wrap in `(declaration ...)`**
2. **Behavior nodes wrap children in `(behavior_node ...)`**
3. **Paths have internal structure:**
```
(path
(path_segments
(identifier)
(identifier)))
```
Not just `(path)`
### Example Behavior Test Structure:
```
behavior SimpleBehavior {
walk_around
}
---
(source_file
(declaration
(behavior
name: (identifier)
root: (behavior_node
(action_node (identifier))))))
```
## Regenerating Parser
If grammar.js changes:
```bash
cd /Users/sienna/Development/storybook/tree-sitter-storybook && npm run build
```
This runs `tree-sitter generate` and compiles the parser.
## Test Results (as of 2026-02-09)
✅ All 27 tests passing:
- 17 declaration tests
- 7 behavior tree tests (selector, sequence, repeat, nested, subtree, etc.)
- 3 basic tests
## Behavior Tree Node Types Tested
- `action_node` - Simple action identifiers
- `selector_node` - `? { ... }` - Try options in order
- `sequence_node` - `> { ... }` - Execute in sequence
- `repeat_node` - `* { ... }` - Repeat forever
- `subtree_node` - `@path::to::tree` - Reference external behavior
## Common Issues
1. **Bash tool failing with exit code 1** - Use Serena's execute_shell_command instead
2. **Path structure mismatch** - Remember paths include path_segments wrapper
3. **Missing declaration wrapper** - All top-level items wrap in `(declaration ...)`
4. **Missing behavior_node wrapper** - Behavior children wrap in `(behavior_node ...)`

- ⚠️ Formatting (only integration tests)
- ⚠️ Rename (only integration tests)
- ⚠️ Semantic tokens (only integration tests)
- ❌ Inlay hints (broken, no tests can run)
**Missing Test Coverage:**
- ❌ Cross-file navigation (not implemented)
- ❌ Multi-file completion (not implemented)

## 4. Critical Issues Blocking Tests
### Issue #1: Inlay Hints Import Error
**File:** `storybook/src/lsp/inlay_hints.rs:134`
**Error:**
```
error[E0433]: failed to resolve: could not find `project` in the crate root
--> src/lsp/inlay_hints.rs:134:28
|
134 | positions: &mut crate::project::positions::PositionTracker,
| ^^^^^^^ could not find `project` in the crate root
```
**Root Cause:** Incorrect module path
**Expected Path:** `crate::position::PositionTracker`
**Fix Required:** Change `crate::project::positions::PositionTracker` → `crate::position::PositionTracker`
**Impact:** Blocks all LSP tests from compiling
---
### Issue #2: Completion Type Annotation Error
**File:** `storybook/src/lsp/completion.rs:428`
**Error:**
```
error[E0689]: can't call method `saturating_sub` on ambiguous numeric type `{integer}`
--> src/lsp/completion.rs:428:60
|
428 | Token::RBrace => nesting_level = nesting_level.saturating_sub(1),
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
```
**Root Cause:** Missing type annotation on `nesting_level` variable
**Fix Required:** Add type annotation `: i32` to `let mut nesting_level`
**Impact:** Blocks all LSP tests from compiling
---
## 5. Architecture Assessment
### 5.1 Current Architecture
```
StorybookLanguageServer
├── documents: Arc<RwLock<HashMap<Url, Document>>>
│ └── Per-document state (AST, symbols, errors, positions)
└── workspace: Arc<RwLock<WorkspaceState>>
├── name_table: NameTable (currently unused)
└── file_urls: HashMap<usize, Url>
```
**Document Model:**
```rust
pub struct Document {
pub text: String,
pub ast: Option<SourceFile>,
pub parse_errors: Vec<ParseError>,
pub positions: PositionTracker,
}
```
**Symbol Table:** Built per-document from AST via `symbols::extract_symbols()`
### 5.2 Single-File vs. Multi-File Navigation
#### Currently Implemented (Single-File)
- ✅ Each document maintains its own symbol table
- ✅ Go-to-definition works within current file
- ✅ Find references works within current file
- ✅ Fast and simple (no cross-file coordination)
#### Not Implemented (Multi-File)
- ❌ No workspace-level NameTable integration
- ❌ Use declarations not resolved
- ❌ Cross-file template references not resolved
- ❌ Species references not resolved across files
- ❌ No global symbol index
**Why Multi-File Not Implemented:**
> "Current single-file solution covers 80% of use cases for MVP. Cross-file can be added later as enhancement without breaking existing features." - From `lsp-phase4-navigation` memory
### 5.3 Workspace State (Stub Implementation)
The `WorkspaceState` struct exists but is **not fully utilized**:
```rust
fn rebuild(&mut self, documents: &HashMap<Url, Document>) {
self.name_table = NameTable::new();
self.file_urls.clear();
for (file_index, (url, doc)) in documents.iter().enumerate() {
self.file_urls.insert(file_index, url.clone());
if let Some(ref ast) = doc.ast {
// TODO: Properly merge file name tables with file_index
// For now, we'll use the simple single-file approach
let _ = (ast, file_index); // Use variables to avoid warnings
}
}
}
```
**Observation:** The NameTable infrastructure exists in `crate::resolve::names::NameTable` but is not being populated or used by the LSP server.
---
## 6. Stability Assessment
### 6.1 Known Stability Issues
1. **Compilation Failures** (Severity: CRITICAL)
- Two errors preventing tests from running
- Both are simple fixes (import path + type annotation)
2. **Limited Cross-File Support** (Severity: MEDIUM)
- Users cannot navigate to definitions in other files
- Use declarations don't resolve to imports
- Limits usefulness for multi-file projects
3. **Missing Error Handling** (Severity: LOW)
- Some LSP methods use `.unwrap()` or `.expect()` without graceful degradation
- Could cause server crashes on unexpected input
4. **Performance Unknowns** (Severity: MEDIUM)
- No stress tests for large files (>10,000 lines)
- No benchmarks for workspace rebuilds
- Unknown behavior with many open documents (100+)
### 6.2 Code Quality Observations
**Strengths:**
- ✅ Comprehensive async/await usage (tower-lsp pattern)
- ✅ Proper use of RwLock for concurrent document access
- ✅ Modular design (separate files for each LSP feature)
- ✅ Rich test coverage (102 focused unit tests)
**Weaknesses:**
- ⚠️ Incomplete type annotations (causing compilation errors)
- ⚠️ Unused infrastructure (WorkspaceState, NameTable)
- ⚠️ Some features lack dedicated unit tests (hover, formatting, rename)
- ⚠️ No CI/CD automation mentioned in codebase

---
## 14. Conclusion
The Storybook LSP implementation is **architecturally sound** and **feature-rich**, with 9 major LSP features implemented and 147 tests written. However, **two simple compilation errors** are blocking the entire test suite from running.
**Immediate Action Required:**
1. Fix the two compilation errors (15 minutes)
2. Verify all 102 tests pass
3. Proceed with test gap filling and stabilization
**Strategic Recommendation:**
- Focus on **stabilization first** (Phases 1-2) before attempting multi-file support
- The single-file navigation is sufficient for MVP
- Cross-file support can be added incrementally without breaking existing features
**Risk Assessment:**
- **Low risk** to fix compilation errors and achieve stability
- **Medium risk** for multi-file support (requires architectural changes)
- **High value** in completing test coverage for existing features
The implementation is **close to production-ready** once compilation errors are resolved and test coverage gaps are filled.

# LSP Lexer Usage Audit
**Date:** 2026-02-12
**Auditor:** LSP Test Engineer
**Purpose:** Verify all LSP modules use the lexer exclusively (no ad-hoc parsing)
---
## Executive Summary
**Status:** ⚠️ **Mixed Compliance**
- **3 modules** properly use lexer ✅
- **8 modules** use ad-hoc parsing ❌
- **Critical Risk:** Hardcoded keyword lists in 3 modules
**Risk Level:** MEDIUM
- Inconsistent behavior between LSP and compiler
- Vulnerability to keyword changes (like recent behavior tree updates)
- Maintenance burden from duplicate logic
---
## Audit Results by Module
### ✅ Compliant Modules (Using Lexer)
#### 1. **completion.rs** - ✅ GOOD (with caveats)
**Status:** Uses Lexer properly for tokenization
**Lexer Usage:**
```rust
use crate::syntax::lexer::{Lexer, Token};
let lexer = Lexer::new(before);
```
**Found at lines:** 135, 142, 269, 277, 410, 417
**Issue:** ⚠️ Contains hardcoded keyword strings (8 occurrences)
- Lines with hardcoded keywords: "character", "template", "behavior", etc.
- **Risk:** Keywords could get out of sync with lexer
**Recommendation:** Extract keywords from lexer Token enum instead of hardcoding
---
#### 2. **semantic_tokens.rs** - ✅ EXCELLENT
**Status:** Uses Lexer exclusively, no manual parsing
**Lexer Usage:**
```rust
use crate::syntax::lexer::{Lexer, Token};
```
**Assessment:** **Best practice example** - Uses lexer for all tokenization, no hardcoded keywords, no manual string manipulation
---
#### 3. **code_actions.rs** - ✅ GOOD (with caveats)
**Status:** Uses Lexer for tokenization
**Issues:**
- ⚠️ Contains 15 instances of manual string parsing (`.split()`, `.chars()`, `.lines()`)
- ⚠️ Has 4 hardcoded keyword strings
- **Concern:** Mixed approach - uses lexer sometimes, manual parsing other times
**Recommendation:** Refactor to use lexer consistently throughout
---
### ❌ Non-Compliant Modules (Ad-Hoc Parsing)
#### 4. **hover.rs** - ❌ CRITICAL ISSUE
**Status:** NO lexer usage, extensive manual parsing
**Problems:**
**A. Manual Character-by-Character Parsing**
```rust
// Line 51-77: extract_word_at_position()
let chars: Vec<char> = line.chars().collect();
// Custom word boundary detection
while start > 0 && is_word_char(chars[start - 1]) {
start -= 1;
}
```
**Risk:** Custom tokenization logic differs from compiler's lexer
**B. Hardcoded Keyword List** (Lines 20-39)
```rust
match word.as_str() {
"character" => "**character** - Defines a character entity...",
"template" => "**template** - Defines a reusable field template...",
"life_arc" => "**life_arc** - Defines a state machine...",
"schedule" => "**schedule** - Defines a daily schedule...",
"behavior" => "**behavior** - Defines a behavior tree...",
"institution" => "**institution** - Defines an organization...",
"relationship" => "**relationship** - Defines a multi-party...",
"location" => "**location** - Defines a place...",
"species" => "**species** - Defines a species...",
"enum" => "**enum** - Defines an enumeration...",
"use" => "**use** - Imports declarations...",
"from" => "**from** - Applies templates...",
"include" => "**include** - Includes another template...",
"state" => "**state** - Defines a state...",
"on" => "**on** - Defines a transition...",
"strict" => "**strict** - Enforces that a template...",
_ => return None,
}
```
**Risk:** HIGH
- 16 hardcoded keywords that must stay in sync with lexer
- If lexer adds/removes keywords, hover won't update automatically
- Recent behavior tree changes could have broken this
**Recommendation:**
```rust
// BEFORE (current):
let word = extract_word_at_position(line_text, character)?;
// AFTER (proposed):
let lexer = Lexer::new(line_text);
let token_at_pos = find_token_at_position(&lexer, character)?;
match token_at_pos {
Token::Character => "**character** - Defines...",
Token::Template => "**template** - Defines...",
// etc - using Token enum from lexer
}
```

#### 5. **formatting.rs** - ❌ MANUAL PARSING
**Status:** NO lexer usage, line-by-line text processing
**Problems:**
```rust
// Line 53: Manual line processing
for line in text.lines() {
let trimmed = line.trim();
// Custom logic for braces, colons, etc.
}
```
**Risk:** MEDIUM
- Custom formatting logic may not respect language semantics
- Could format code incorrectly if it doesn't understand context
**Recommendation:** Use lexer to tokenize, then format based on tokens
- Preserves semantic understanding
- Respects string literals, comments, etc.
---
#### 6. **diagnostics.rs** - ❌ MANUAL PARSING
**Status:** NO lexer usage, manual brace counting
**Problems:**
```rust
// Lines 34-37: Manual brace counting
for (line_num, line) in text.lines().enumerate() {
let open_braces = line.chars().filter(|&c| c == '{').count();
let close_braces = line.chars().filter(|&c| c == '}').count();
}
// Line 79: Character-by-character processing
for ch in text.chars() {
// Custom logic
}
```
**Risk:** HIGH
- Brace counting doesn't account for braces in strings: `character Alice { name: "{" }`
- Doesn't respect comments: `// This { is a comment`
- Could generate false diagnostics
**Recommendation:** Use lexer tokens to track brace pairs accurately
---
#### 7. **references.rs** - ❌ MANUAL STRING PARSING
**Status:** NO lexer usage
**Problems:**
```rust
// Manual string parsing for word boundaries
```
**Risk:** MEDIUM
- May not correctly identify symbol boundaries
- Could match partial words
**Recommendation:** Use lexer to identify identifiers
---
#### 8. **rename.rs** - ❌ HARDCODED KEYWORDS
**Status:** NO lexer usage, contains hardcoded strings
**Problems:**
- 2 hardcoded keyword strings
- Manual symbol identification
**Risk:** MEDIUM
- May incorrectly rename keywords or miss valid renames
**Recommendation:** Use lexer to distinguish keywords from identifiers
---
#### 9. **definition.rs** - ⚠️ UNCLEAR
**Status:** No obvious lexer usage, no obvious manual parsing
**Assessment:** Likely uses AST-based approach (acceptable)
- May rely on symbols extracted from AST
- **Acceptable** if using `Document.ast` for symbol lookup
**Recommendation:** Verify it's using AST, not string parsing
---
#### 10. **inlay_hints.rs** - ⚠️ UNCLEAR
**Status:** No lexer usage detected, no obvious parsing
**Assessment:** Minimal code inspection needed
- May be stub or use AST-based approach
**Recommendation:** Full inspection needed
---
#### 11. **symbols.rs** - ✅ LIKELY COMPLIANT
**Status:** No manual parsing detected
**Assessment:** Appears to extract symbols from AST
- **Acceptable approach** - AST is the canonical representation
- No need for lexer if working from AST
---

## Critical Findings
### 1. **hover.rs** - Highest Risk
- 16 hardcoded keywords
- Custom tokenization logic
- **Impact:** Recent behavior tree keyword changes may have broken hover
- **Fix Priority:** HIGH
### 2. **diagnostics.rs** - High Risk
- Manual brace counting fails in strings/comments
- Could generate false errors
- **Fix Priority:** HIGH
### 3. **Hardcoded Keywords** - Maintenance Burden
- **Total:** 30 hardcoded keyword strings across 4 files
- **Risk:** Keywords get out of sync with lexer
- **Recent Example:** Behavior tree syntax changes could have broken these
---
## Recommended Fixes
### Priority 1: hover.rs Refactoring
**Estimated Time:** 2-3 hours
**Changes:**
1. Add lexer import: `use crate::syntax::lexer::{Lexer, Token};`
2. Replace `extract_word_at_position()` with lexer-based token finding
3. Replace keyword match with Token enum match
4. Remove hardcoded keyword strings
**Benefits:**
- Automatic sync with lexer changes
- Consistent tokenization with compiler
- Easier maintenance
**Example Code:**
```rust
pub fn get_hover_info(text: &str, line: usize, character: usize) -> Option<Hover> {
let line_text = text.lines().nth(line)?;
let lexer = Lexer::new(line_text);
// Find token at character position
let token_at_pos = find_token_at_position(&lexer, character)?;
let content = match token_at_pos {
Token::Character => "**character** - Defines a character entity...",
Token::Template => "**template** - Defines a reusable field template...",
// Use Token enum - stays in sync automatically
};
Some(Hover { /* ... */ })
}
```
---
### Priority 2: diagnostics.rs Refactoring
**Estimated Time:** 1-2 hours
**Changes:**
1. Use lexer to tokenize text
2. Count LBrace/RBrace tokens (not characters)
3. Ignore braces in strings and comments automatically
**Benefits:**
- Correct handling of braces in all contexts
- No false positives
---
### Priority 3: Extract Keyword Definitions
**Estimated Time:** 1 hour
**Changes:**
1. Create `src/syntax/keywords.rs` module
2. Define keyword list from lexer Token enum
3. Use in completion, code_actions, rename
**Benefits:**
- Single source of truth for keywords
- Easy to keep in sync
---
## Testing Recommendations
After fixes, add tests for:
1. **Hover on keywords in strings** - Should NOT show hover
```rust
character Alice { name: "character" } // hovering "character" in string
```
2. **Diagnostics with braces in strings** - Should NOT count
```rust
character Alice { name: "{}" } // should not report brace mismatch
```
3. **Lexer consistency tests** - Verify LSP uses same tokens as compiler
```rust
#[test]
fn test_hover_uses_lexer_keywords() {
// Ensure hover keywords match lexer Token enum
}
```
---
## Long-Term Recommendations
### 1. Establish Coding Standards
Document that LSP modules should:
- ✅ Use lexer for all tokenization
- ✅ Use AST for semantic analysis
- ❌ Never do manual string parsing
- ❌ Never hardcode keywords
### 2. Code Review Checklist
Add to PR reviews:
- [ ] Does LSP code use lexer for tokenization?
- [ ] Are there any hardcoded keyword strings?
- [ ] Is there any manual `.split()`, `.chars()`, `.find()` parsing?
### 3. Shared Utilities
Create `src/lsp/lexer_utils.rs` with:
- `find_token_at_position()` - Common utility
- `get_keyword_docs()` - Centralized keyword documentation
- `is_keyword()` - Token-based keyword checking
---
## Impact Assessment
### Current State Risks
**Behavior Tree Changes (Recent):**
- Lexer/parser updated with new keywords
- ❌ `hover.rs` still has old hardcoded list
- ⚠️ Users may not see hover for new keywords
**Future Keyword Changes:**
- Any new keywords require updates in 4 separate files
- Easy to miss one, causing inconsistent behavior
**Bug Examples:**
```rust
// diagnostics.rs bug:
character Alice { description: "Contains } brace" }
// ^ Reports false "unmatched brace" error
// hover.rs bug:
character Alice { /* hover on "character" keyword here */ }
// ^ Works
"In a character block..." // hover on "character" in string
// ^ Also shows hover (WRONG - it's just a word in a string)
```
---
## Conclusion
**Overall Assessment:** NEEDS IMPROVEMENT
- **Compliance Rate:** 27% (3/11 modules)
- **Risk Level:** MEDIUM-HIGH
- **Recommended Action:** Refactor hover.rs and diagnostics.rs as priority
**Benefits of Fixing:**
1. Consistency with compiler behavior
2. Automatic sync with language changes
3. Reduced maintenance burden
4. Fewer bugs from edge cases
**Next Steps:**
1. Create GitHub issues for each Priority 1-2 fix
2. Refactor hover.rs (highest risk)
3. Refactor diagnostics.rs (high risk)
4. Extract keyword definitions (prevents future issues)
5. Add lexer usage to code review checklist

## Resource Linking: Design Considerations
### Linking Mechanisms to Support
#### 1. Character Behavior Linking
**Simple Direct Link:**
```sb
character Alice : Human {
link behavior: CuriousExplorer
}
```
**Multiple Behaviors with Priorities:**
```sb
character Alice : Human {
link behaviors: [
{ tree: HandleUrgentNeeds, priority: critical }
{ tree: WorkAtBakery, priority: normal, when: schedule.activity == work }
{ tree: SocialInteraction, priority: normal, when: schedule.activity == leisure }
{ tree: Sleep, priority: normal, when: schedule.activity == sleep }
{ tree: Idle, priority: low }
]
}
```
**Context-Based Behavior:**
```sb
character Alice : Human {
link behaviors: [
{ tree: WorkAtBakery, when: at_location(Bakery) }
{ tree: HomeRoutine, when: at_location(Home) }
{ tree: Wander, default: true }
]
}
```
#### 2. Character Schedule Linking
**Direct Schedule Link:**
```sb
character Alice : Human {
link schedule: BakerSchedule
}
```
**Conditional Schedule Link:**
```sb
character Alice : Human {
link schedule: WorkdaySchedule when employed == true
link schedule: UnemployedSchedule when employed == false
}
```
**State-Based Schedule:**
```sb
character Alice : Human {
life_arc: PersonArc at Adult
link schedules: [
{ schedule: ChildSchedule, when: state == Child }
{ schedule: AdultSchedule, when: state == Adult }
{ schedule: ElderSchedule, when: state == Elder }
]
}
```
#### 3. Institution Behavior Linking
**Institution-Level Behavior:**
```sb
institution Bakery {
link behavior: BakeryOperations
roles {
owner {
link behavior: ManageBakery
}
worker {
link behavior: BakeryWork
}
}
}
```
**Contextual Institution Behavior:**
```sb
institution Bakery {
link behaviors: [
{ tree: BusyService, when: customer_queue > 5 }
{ tree: NormalService, default: true }
]
}
```
#### 4. Institution Schedule Linking
**Operating Hours:**
```sb
institution Bakery {
link schedule: BakeryHours
}
```
**Seasonal Schedules:**
```sb
institution Bakery {
link schedules: [
{ schedule: SummerHours, when: season == summer }
{ schedule: WinterHours, when: season == winter }
{ schedule: StandardHours, default: true }
]
}
```
**Role-Specific Schedules:**
```sb
institution Bakery {
roles {
owner {
link schedule: OwnerSchedule
}
worker {
link schedule: WorkerSchedule
}
}
}
```
#### 5. Species Default Links
**Default Behavior and Schedule:**
```sb
species Human {
components: HumanComponents
link behaviors: [HandleBasicNeeds, SocialDrive, CuriosityDrive]
link schedule: DefaultHumanSchedule
}
```
#### 6. Template Inherited Links
**Template with Links:**
```sb
template WonderlandCreature {
link behavior: WonderlandBehavior
link schedule: WonderlandSchedule
}
character CheshireCat : Cat using WonderlandCreature {
// inherits links from template
// can override with own links
link behavior: CheshireBehavior // overrides template
}
```
### SBIR Representation Questions
Agent 3 (Resource Linking Architect) should address:
**For Behavior Links:**
1. How are behavior references encoded in the CHARACTERS section (ENTITIES in spec)?
2. How are behavior references encoded in the INSTITUTIONS section?
3. How are selection rules/predicates encoded?
4. How are priorities represented?
5. How does the runtime resolve which behavior to execute?
6. Can multiple behaviors run simultaneously (parallel execution)?
7. How do conditions inject behaviors (override system)?
**For Schedule Links:**
8. How are schedule references encoded in the CHARACTERS section?
9. How are schedule references encoded in the INSTITUTIONS section?
10. How are conditional schedule links resolved at runtime?
11. How do schedule links interact with behavior links?
12. Can a character have both a direct schedule link AND schedule blocks with inline behaviors?
**General:**
13. What is the precedence order for link resolution (species → template → character)?
14. How are link overrides represented in SBIR?
15. What happens when multiple links match at runtime (conflict resolution)?
16. What existing infrastructure can be reused (parser, compiler, etc.)?
---
## Coordination Strategy
### Communication Patterns
1. **Phase Kickoffs:** Team lead provides context and coordinates agent startup for each phase
2. **Design Reviews with User:** After Tasks #1, #3, #5, #7, #8 complete, agents present designs to USER for approval before implementation
- **Critical:** Task #5 (linking design) MUST be reviewed by user before Task #6 (implementation)
3. **Cross-Agent Coordination:**
- Agent 3 (Linking) coordinates with Agent 2 (BT) on syntax
- Agent 3 (Linking) coordinates with Agent 5 (Schedule) on integration
- Agent 4 (SBIR) reviews all designs for spec implications
4. **Progress Updates:** Agents report completion and blockers to team lead AND user at checkpoints
5. **Implementation Checkpoints:** Agent 3 (Linking) discusses implementation approach with user before finalizing
6. **Integration Checkpoints:** Before Task #10, synchronize all design outputs
7. **Final Review:** Before Task #11, validate all implementations with user
### Handoff Points
- **LSP → BT Designer:** If LSP tests reveal issues with behavior tree parsing
- **BT Designer → Linking Architect:** Behavior tree syntax must be stable before implementing linking
- **Linking Architect → Schedule Architect:** Linking design informs schedule-behavior integration
- **SBIR Analyst → All Designers:** Gap analysis informs all designs
- **SBIR Analyst → Team Lead:** Findings inform Task #10 (spec updates)
- **All Designers → Team Lead:** Design outputs feed into Task #10
- **All Implementers → Team Lead:** Implementations validated in Task #11
---
## Risk Mitigation
### Potential Issues
1. **Backward Compatibility Breaks:** Behavior tree refactoring may break existing .sb files
- **Mitigation:** Design migration path; consider supporting both syntaxes temporarily
2. **SBIR Binary Format Changes:** Schedule and linking enhancements will require breaking changes
- **Mitigation:** Version bump to 0.2.0; provide conversion tooling
3. **LSP Instability During Development:** Changes to parser/compiler may break LSP
- **Mitigation:** LSP tests run continuously; prioritize stability fixes
4. **Linking System Complexity:** Multiple linking mechanisms may create ambiguity
- **Mitigation:** Clear precedence rules; comprehensive examples; runtime warnings for conflicts
5. **Scope Creep:** Each workstream could expand significantly
- **Mitigation:** Strict adherence to task definitions; defer non-essential work
6. **Integration Failures:** Systems may not work together cleanly
- **Mitigation:** Early integration checkpoints; continuous testing; coordination meetings
7. **Performance Concerns:** Complex behavior selection could impact runtime
- **Mitigation:** Design efficient selection algorithm; benchmark early

## Next Steps
1. **Review this plan** - Approve, modify, or expand as needed
2. **Prioritize workstreams** - Determine if any workstream is more critical
3. **Spawn team** - Create agents with assigned roles
4. **Phase 1 kickoff** - Start analysis and design tasks with coordination meetings
5. **Design review** - Gate between Phase 1 and Phase 2
6. **Implementation** - Execute Phase 2 tasks sequentially where needed
7. **Specification update** - Execute Task #10
8. **Integration** - Execute Task #11
9. **Release** - Publish v0.2.0 with all enhancements
---
## Questions for Review
1. **Linking mechanisms:** Are all the proposed linking mechanisms necessary? Should we start with a subset?
2. **Link keyword scope:** Should `link` be the unified keyword for both behaviors and schedules, or use `link behavior:` and `link schedule:` explicitly?
3. **Institution linking:** Should institutions support the same linking flexibility as entities, or a simpler subset?
4. **Agent allocation:** Should any workstream have multiple agents (e.g., separate linking designer and implementer)?
5. **Timeline:** Are there hard deadlines or priorities among the five workstreams?
6. **Backward compatibility:** How important is maintaining compatibility with v0.1.0?
7. **Scope:** Should we defer any feature (e.g., parallel behavior execution, complex conditional linking) to v0.3.0?
8. **Integration complexity:** Should linking and schedules be designed together from the start, or sequentially?
9. **Success criteria:** Are the metrics sufficient, or should we add more specific targets?
10. **Link resolution algorithm:** Should behavior/schedule selection be designed upfront, or emerge from the linking design?
11. **Schedule-behavior interaction:** When a schedule block specifies a behavior AND the entity has linked behaviors, which takes precedence?

## Color Combinations (Contrast Ratios)
### Text on Backgrounds
| Foreground | Background | Ratio | Grade | Use |
|------------|------------|-------|-------|-----|
| cream | aubergine-900 | 15.2:1 | AAA | Primary text |
| warm-gray-100 | aubergine-900 | 11.8:1 | AAA | Secondary text |
| warm-gray-400 | aubergine-900 | 4.9:1 | AA | Muted text |
| gold-500 | aubergine-900 | 7.1:1 | AA Large | Accent text |
| aubergine-900 | gold-500 | 7.1:1 | AA Large | Gold buttons |
### Interactive Elements
| Element | Default | Hover | Active | Focus |
|---------|---------|-------|--------|-------|
| Primary Button | gold-500 bg | gold-400 bg | gold-300 bg | gold-500 + glow |
| Secondary Button | transparent | aubergine-700 | aubergine-600 | gold-500 border |
| Input Field | aubergine-800 | - | - | gold-500 border |
| List Item | transparent | aubergine-700 | aubergine-600 | gold-500 left border |
## Usage Guidelines
### Do's ✓
- Use **aubergine-900** for main background
- Use **aubergine-800** for panels and cards
- Use **cream** for all primary text
- Use **gold-500** sparingly for accents (buttons, highlights, selected states)
- Use semantic colors (success, error, warning) only for their purpose
- Maintain visual hierarchy with size + weight + color
### Don'ts ✗
- Don't use gold for large backgrounds (overwhelming)
- Don't use more than 2-3 colors in a single component
- Don't rely on color alone for information (use icons + text)
- Don't use pure black (#000) or pure white (#fff)
- Don't mix warm and cool grays
## Code Syntax Highlighting
Muted versions of semantic colors on dark background:
```rust
// Example syntax theme
Keywords: #f4a261 (gold-500) - fn, let, pub, impl
Types: #9f76a7 (aubergine-300) - String, Vec, Option
Functions: #fad6ad (gold-200) - function_name()
Strings: #8ab864 (success-light) - "hello"
Numbers: #f6b47a (gold-400) - 42, 3.14
Comments: #8b8680 (warm-gray-400) - // comment
Operators: #e8e3dd (warm-gray-100) - +, =, ->
Punctuation: #d1cbc3 (warm-gray-200) - {}, (), ;
```
## Gradients (Optional, Use Sparingly)
```
Gold Shimmer (for loading states):
linear-gradient(90deg,
gold-500 0%,
gold-400 50%,
gold-500 100%)
Aubergine Depth (for hero sections):
linear-gradient(180deg,
aubergine-800 0%,
aubergine-900 100%)
```
## Opacity Scale
For overlays and transparency:
```
10%: rgba(color, 0.1) - Very subtle tint
20%: rgba(color, 0.2) - Subtle overlay
40%: rgba(color, 0.4) - Muted element
60%: rgba(color, 0.6) - Semi-transparent
80%: rgba(color, 0.8) - Mostly opaque
```
## Color Psychology
| Color | Emotion | Usage |
|-------|---------|-------|
| Aubergine | Sophisticated, creative, mysterious | Base, establishes tone |
| Gold | Energetic, optimistic, valuable | Accents, calls-to-action |
| Cream | Calm, clean, readable | Text, content |
| Green | Success, growth, go | Validation, success states |
| Red | Error, stop, urgent | Errors, destructive actions |
## Accessibility Notes
- All text meets **WCAG AAA** for contrast
- Gold accent meets **WCAG AA** for large text
- Focus indicators are clearly visible (gold-500 + glow)
- Never use color as the only indicator (pair with icons/text)
- Test with colorblind simulators (deuteranopia, protanopia)

# Template Merge Implementation Notes
**Author:** Resource Linking Architect
**Date:** 2026-02-12
**Purpose:** Implementation planning for Phase 3 (Resolution)
---
## Core Merge Algorithm
### Data Structures
```rust
// In resolve/merge.rs
/// Tracks behavior links during merge to detect overrides
struct BehaviorMergeContext {
seen_behaviors: HashMap<String, BehaviorLink>, // behavior_name -> link
result: Vec<BehaviorLink>,
warnings: Vec<MergeWarning>,
}
enum MergeWarning {
DefaultConflict {
character_behavior: String,
template_behavior: String,
},
PriorityConflict {
behavior: String,
character_priority: Priority,
template_priority: Priority,
},
}
```
### Merge Function Signature
```rust
pub fn merge_behavior_links(
character_links: Vec<BehaviorLink>,
template_links: Vec<BehaviorLink>,
character_name: &str,
template_name: &str,
) -> Result<(Vec<ResolvedBehaviorLink>, Vec<MergeWarning>), MergeError> {
// Implementation
}
```
### Step-by-Step Algorithm
```rust
fn merge_behavior_links(
character_links: Vec<BehaviorLink>,
template_links: Vec<BehaviorLink>,
character_name: &str,
template_name: &str,
) -> Result<(Vec<ResolvedBehaviorLink>, Vec<MergeWarning>), MergeError> {
let mut ctx = BehaviorMergeContext {
seen_behaviors: HashMap::new(),
result: Vec::new(),
warnings: Vec::new(),
};
// Step 1: Add all character links (highest precedence)
for link in character_links {
let behavior_name = link.tree.join("::");
// Check for duplicate behavior in character itself
if ctx.seen_behaviors.contains_key(&behavior_name) {
return Err(MergeError::DuplicateBehavior {
behavior: behavior_name,
source: character_name.to_string(),
});
}
ctx.seen_behaviors.insert(behavior_name.clone(), link.clone());
ctx.result.push(link);
}
// Step 2: Add template links that aren't overridden
for link in template_links {
let behavior_name = link.tree.join("::");
if let Some(char_link) = ctx.seen_behaviors.get(&behavior_name) {
// Character overrides this behavior - check for conflicts
// Check priority conflict
if let (Some(char_pri), Some(tmpl_pri)) = (&char_link.priority, &link.priority) {
if char_pri != tmpl_pri {
ctx.warnings.push(MergeWarning::PriorityConflict {
behavior: behavior_name.clone(),
character_priority: char_pri.clone(),
template_priority: tmpl_pri.clone(),
});
}
}
// Skip template link (already have character's version)
continue;
}
// No override, add template link
ctx.result.push(link);
}
// Step 3: Check for default conflicts
let char_defaults: Vec<_> = ctx.result.iter()
.filter(|link| link.is_default)
.take(2) // Only need to check if >1
.collect();
if char_defaults.len() > 1 {
ctx.warnings.push(MergeWarning::DefaultConflict {
// ... warning details
});
}
Ok((ctx.result, ctx.warnings))
}
```
### Multi-Level Template Merge
```rust
pub fn resolve_template_hierarchy(
character: &Character,
templates: &HashMap<String, Template>,
) -> Result<(Vec<BehaviorLink>, Vec<ScheduleLink>), MergeError> {
// Step 1: Build template chain (deepest first)
let mut template_chain = Vec::new();
let mut current_template_name = character.template.clone();
while let Some(tmpl_name) = current_template_name {
let template = templates.get(&tmpl_name)
.ok_or(MergeError::UnresolvedTemplate { name: tmpl_name.clone() })?;
template_chain.push(template);
current_template_name = template.parent_template.clone();
}
// Step 2: Merge from deepest template up to character
template_chain.reverse(); // Now [deepest, ..., direct parent]
let mut merged_behaviors = Vec::new();
let mut merged_schedules = Vec::new();
for template in template_chain {
let (behaviors, warnings) = merge_behavior_links(
merged_behaviors,
template.behavior_links.clone(),
character.name,
&template.name,
)?;
merged_behaviors = behaviors;
// TODO: emit warnings
// Same for schedules...
}
// Step 3: Merge character on top
let (final_behaviors, warnings) = merge_behavior_links(
character.behavior_links.clone(),
merged_behaviors,
character.name,
"character",
)?;
Ok((final_behaviors, merged_schedules))
}
```
---
## Complex Merge Scenarios to Test
### Scenario 1: Simple Override
```storybook
template Worker {
uses behaviors: [A, B, C]
}
character Martha from Worker {
uses behaviors: [B, D] // Override B, add D
}
// Expected: [B(Martha), D, A, C]
// A and C come from Worker, B is Martha's version
```
### Scenario 2: Multi-Level with Overrides
```storybook
template Base {
uses behaviors: [A, B]
}
template Mid from Base {
uses behaviors: [B, C] // Override B from Base
}
character Char from Mid {
uses behaviors: [C, D] // Override C from Mid
}
// Merge order:
// 1. Base: [A, B(Base)]
// 2. Mid merges on Base: [B(Mid), C, A]
// 3. Char merges on Mid: [C(Char), D, B(Mid), A]
```
### Scenario 3: Priority Changes Through Chain
```storybook
template Base {
uses behaviors: [{ tree: Rest, priority: high }]
}
template Mid from Base {
uses behaviors: [{ tree: Rest, priority: normal }] // Warning!
}
character Char from Mid {
uses behaviors: [{ tree: Rest, priority: low }] // Warning!
}
// Expected: [Rest(low)]
// Warnings:
// - Mid changed Rest priority from high to normal
// - Char changed Rest priority from normal to low
```
### Scenario 4: Condition Overrides
```storybook
template Worker {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: Work, when: employed }
]
}
character Martha from Worker {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: Work, when: at_bakery } // Override condition
]
}
// Expected: [Work(when: at_bakery)]
// Template's Work(when: employed) is completely replaced
```
### Scenario 5: Default Conflicts
```storybook
template Worker {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: Idle, default: true }
]
}
character Martha from Worker {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: Rest, default: true }
]
}
// Expected: [Rest(default), Idle(not default)]
// Warning: Both template and character define defaults
```
### Scenario 6: Empty Array Edge Case
```storybook
template Worker {
uses behaviors: [A, B, C]
}
character Martha from Worker {
uses behaviors: [] // What does this mean?
}
// If empty = "clear all": []
// If empty = "ignore, inherit": [A, B, C]
// Waiting for Sienna's decision (Question 1)
```
### Scenario 7: Diamond Inheritance (Not Supported)
```storybook
template A { uses behaviors: [X] }
template B from A { uses behaviors: [Y] }
template C from A { uses behaviors: [Z] }
template D from B, C { ... } // ERROR: Multiple inheritance not supported
```
**Decision:** Single inheritance only (one parent template max).
---
## Error Message Design
### Error: Duplicate Behavior in Same Context
```
error: duplicate behavior definition
┌─ characters/martha.sb:10:9
│
10 │ { tree: BakeryWork, priority: normal }
│ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
11 │ { tree: BakeryWork, priority: high }
│ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ duplicate definition
│
= note: behavior 'BakeryWork' is already defined in this character
= help: remove one of the duplicate definitions or use different behaviors
```
### Warning: Priority Conflict in Template Merge
```
warning: behavior priority changed from template
┌─ characters/martha.sb:9:9
│
9 │ { tree: Rest, priority: low }
│ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
│
= note: template 'Worker' defines 'Rest' with priority 'high'
= note: character's priority (low) will override template's (high)
= help: if this is intentional, no action needed
```
### Warning: Multiple Defaults
```
warning: multiple default behaviors defined
┌─ characters/martha.sb:10:9
│
10 │ { tree: Rest, default: true }
│ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
│
= note: template 'Worker' also defines a default behavior: 'Idle'
= note: character's default (Rest) will be used; template's (Idle) remains as non-default
= help: only one default is active at runtime
```
### Error: Unresolved Template
```
error: unresolved template reference
┌─ characters/martha.sb:1:25
│
1 │ character Martha from Workerr {
│ ^^^^^^^ template 'Workerr' not found
│
= help: did you mean 'Worker'? (defined in templates/worker.sb)
```
### Warning: Condition Override
```
warning: behavior condition changed from template
┌─ characters/martha.sb:9:9
│
9 │ { tree: Work, when: at_bakery }
│ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
│
= note: template 'Worker' defines 'Work' with condition 'employed'
= note: character's condition will replace template's condition
```
---
## Testing Strategy
### Unit Tests
```rust
#[cfg(test)]
mod merge_tests {
use super::*;
#[test]
fn test_simple_merge() {
let char_links = vec![
behavior_link("BakeryWork", None, None),
];
let tmpl_links = vec![
behavior_link("BasicNeeds", Some(Priority::Critical), None),
behavior_link("Rest", Some(Priority::Normal), None),
];
let (result, warnings) = merge_behavior_links(
char_links, tmpl_links, "Martha", "Worker"
).unwrap();
assert_eq!(result.len(), 3);
assert_eq!(result[0].tree, "BakeryWork");
assert_eq!(result[1].tree, "BasicNeeds");
assert_eq!(result[2].tree, "Rest");
assert!(warnings.is_empty());
}
#[test]
fn test_override_priority() {
let char_links = vec![
behavior_link("Rest", Some(Priority::Low), None),
];
let tmpl_links = vec![
behavior_link("Rest", Some(Priority::High), None),
];
let (result, warnings) = merge_behavior_links(
char_links, tmpl_links, "Martha", "Worker"
).unwrap();
assert_eq!(result.len(), 1);
assert_eq!(result[0].priority, Some(Priority::Low));
assert_eq!(warnings.len(), 1);
assert!(matches!(warnings[0], MergeWarning::PriorityConflict { .. }));
}
#[test]
fn test_multi_level_merge() {
// Base -> Mid -> Char
// Test that merging works through chain
}
#[test]
fn test_default_conflict() {
// Both template and character define defaults
}
#[test]
fn test_empty_array() {
// Waiting for Sienna's decision on semantics
}
}
```
### Integration Tests
```rust
#[test]
fn test_resolve_alice_wonderland() {
// Load Alice example with WonderlandCreature template
// Verify merged behaviors are correct
}
#[test]
fn test_three_level_inheritance() {
// Mortal -> Worker -> Baker -> Martha
// Verify all behaviors present and priorities correct
}
```
---
## Performance Considerations
### Merge Complexity
- Single template: O(n + m) where n=char links, m=template links
- k-level templates: O(k * (n + m))
- Typical case: k=1-3, n+m < 20, negligible overhead
### Optimization Opportunities
1. **Cache merged templates**: If Template X is used by multiple characters, cache its fully-merged result
2. **Early termination**: If character defines no links, skip merge entirely
3. **Lazy merging**: Only merge when links are actually accessed at runtime
**Decision:** Start with simple O(k*n) implementation. Optimize only if profiling shows bottleneck.
---
## Edge Cases Checklist
- [x] Character overrides all template behaviors
- [x] Character overrides some template behaviors
- [x] Character adds new behaviors to template
- [x] Multi-level template chain
- [x] Priority conflicts through chain
- [x] Condition overrides
- [x] Multiple defaults
- [ ] Empty array semantics (awaiting Sienna)
- [x] Diamond inheritance (not supported, single parent only)
- [x] Circular template references (should be caught in validation)
- [x] Template references non-existent parent (error)
- [x] Behavior name resolution fails (error)

# Resource Linking System - Checkpoint 2 Addendum
**Author:** Resource Linking Architect
**Date:** 2026-02-12
**Status:** Draft for Checkpoint 2 Review
**Version:** 0.3
**Addresses:** Checkpoint 1 feedback from Sienna
---
## Changes from Checkpoint 1
This addendum addresses two required changes from Sienna's Checkpoint 1 review:
1. **Template Merging Support** (instead of all-or-nothing replacement)
2. **Dual Operator Support** (`==` and `is` both work)
---
## 1. Template Merging Design
### 1.1 The Problem
**Original Design (Rejected):**
```storybook
template Worker {
uses behaviors: [HandleBasicNeeds, RestWhenTired]
}
character Martha: Human from Worker {
uses behaviors: [BakeryWork] // REPLACES Worker behaviors entirely
}
// Result: Only [BakeryWork] - lost HandleBasicNeeds and RestWhenTired
```
**Requested Behavior:**
Martha should get BOTH Worker behaviors AND her own behaviors, composed together.
### 1.2 Proposed Merge Algorithm
**Merge Semantics:**
- Template links and character links are **concatenated**
- Character links come **first** (evaluated before template links) (no template links come first since that's the "base class")
- If same behavior appears in both, character's version **overrides** template's version
- Priority and conditions are preserved from each source
**Example:**
```storybook
template Worker {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: HandleBasicNeeds, priority: critical }
{ tree: RestWhenTired, priority: normal }
{ tree: Idle, priority: low }
]
}
character Martha: Human from Worker {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: BakeryWork, priority: normal }
{ tree: Idle, priority: normal } // Overrides Worker's Idle
]
}
// Merged result:
// [
// { tree: BakeryWork, priority: normal } // From Martha
// { tree: Idle, priority: normal } // From Martha (overrides template)
// { tree: HandleBasicNeeds, priority: critical } // From Worker
// { tree: RestWhenTired, priority: normal } // From Worker
// ]
```
### 1.3 Merge Rules
**Rule 1: Concatenation**
- Merge = `character_links ++ template_links`
- Character links are evaluated first at runtime (higher precedence)
**Rule 2: Override by Name**
- If character defines a link to behavior `X`, template's link to `X` is ignored
- Match by behavior tree name (not by priority or condition)
- Allows character to "replace" template's version of a behavior
**Rule 3: Preserve Priority**
- Priority values are NOT automatically adjusted
- Character can define same behavior with different priority than template
- Runtime selection uses declared priorities as-is
**Rule 4: Preserve Conditions**
- Conditions are NOT merged with boolean operators
- Each link keeps its own condition
- If both have same behavior with different conditions, character's wins (override)
**Rule 5: Default Behavior**
- If both character and template define `default: true` for same link type, character's default wins
- Warning issued if both define defaults (even for different behaviors)
### 1.4 Conflict Resolution
**Conflict Type 1: Same Behavior, Different Priority**
```storybook
template Worker {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: Rest, priority: high }
]
}
character Martha: Human from Worker {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: Rest, priority: normal } // Character overrides
]
}
// Result: Martha's Rest(normal) wins, template's Rest(high) ignored
```
**Conflict Type 2: Same Behavior, Different Conditions**
```storybook
template Worker {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: Work, when: employed }
]
}
character Martha: Human from Worker {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: Work, when: at_bakery } // Character overrides
]
}
// Result: Martha's Work(when: at_bakery) wins
```
**Conflict Type 3: Multiple Defaults**
```storybook
template Worker {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: Idle, default: true }
]
}
character Martha: Human from Worker {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: Rest, default: true } // Warning!
]
}
// Warning: Both template and character define default behaviors
// Resolution: Character's default wins (Rest), template's Idle kept but not default
```
### 1.5 Multi-Level Template Inheritance
Templates can inherit from templates:
```storybook
template LivingBeing {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: Breathe, priority: critical }
{ tree: Eat, priority: high }
]
}
template Worker from LivingBeing {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: Work, priority: normal }
{ tree: Rest, priority: normal }
]
}
character Martha: Human from Worker {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: BakeryWork, priority: normal }
]
}
// Merge chain: LivingBeing -> Worker -> Martha
// Result (in evaluation order):
// [
// BakeryWork(normal), // Martha
// Work(normal), // Worker
// Rest(normal), // Worker
// Breathe(critical), // LivingBeing
// Eat(high) // LivingBeing
// ]
```
**Merge Algorithm for Multi-Level:**
1. Start with deepest template (LivingBeing)
2. Merge next template (Worker) on top
3. Merge character on top
4. At each level, apply override-by-name rule
### 1.6 Explicit Override Syntax (Future Extension)
If we want more control, we could add explicit `override` keyword:
```storybook
character Martha: Human from Worker {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: Rest, priority: low, override: true } // Explicit override
{ tree: BakeryWork, priority: normal }
]
}
```
**Recommendation:** Start without `override` keyword. Add later if needed.
### 1.7 Empty Array Semantics
**Question:** What if character defines empty array?
```storybook
template Worker {
uses behaviors: [HandleBasicNeeds, Rest]
}
character Martha: Human from Worker {
uses behaviors: [] // Empty!
}
```
**Option A:** Empty array means "use no behaviors" (clear template behaviors)
**Option B:** Empty array is treated as "not defined", inherit from template
**Recommendation:** **Option B** - Only non-empty arrays trigger override/merge. Empty arrays are same as omitted field. (empty array just means "empty array", i think if it's a zero-length array then we would treat it as "not defined")
### 1.8 Updated Merge Pseudocode
```rust
fn merge_behavior_links(
character_links: Vec<BehaviorLink>,
template_links: Vec<BehaviorLink>
) -> Vec<BehaviorLink> {
let mut result = Vec::new();
let mut seen_behaviors = HashSet::new();
// Add character links first (higher precedence)
for link in character_links {
let behavior_name = link.tree.join("::");
seen_behaviors.insert(behavior_name.clone());
result.push(link);
}
// Add template links that don't conflict
for link in template_links {
let behavior_name = link.tree.join("::");
if !seen_behaviors.contains(&behavior_name) {
result.push(link);
}
// else: skip, character already defined this behavior
}
result
}
fn merge_character_with_template(
char: Character,
template: Template
) -> ResolvedCharacter {
// Recursively merge if template has parent template
let template_links = if let Some(parent_template) = template.parent {
merge_behavior_links(template.behavior_links, parent_template.behavior_links)
} else {
template.behavior_links
};
// Merge character on top of (potentially already merged) template
let behavior_links = if !char.behavior_links.is_empty() {
merge_behavior_links(char.behavior_links, template_links)
} else {
template_links // Character doesn't define any, inherit all
};
// Same logic for schedule_links...
ResolvedCharacter { behavior_links, schedule_links, ... }
}
```
### 1.9 Validation Rules
**New Validations:**
1. **Warn on default conflicts:**
```
warning: multiple default behaviors defined
┌─ characters/martha.sb:8:5
│
8 │ uses behaviors: [
9 │ { tree: Rest, default: true }
│
= note: template 'Worker' also defines a default behavior: Idle
= help: only one default is used at runtime (character's takes precedence)
```
2. **Warn on priority conflicts (optional):**
```
warning: behavior priority changed from template
┌─ characters/martha.sb:9:9
│
9 │ { tree: Rest, priority: low }
│
= note: template 'Worker' defines Rest with priority: high
= help: character's priority (low) will override template's (high)
```
### 1.10 Examples
**Example 1: Simple Composition**
```storybook
template Villager {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: BasicNeeds, priority: critical }
{ tree: Socialize, priority: normal }
{ tree: Sleep, priority: normal }
]
}
character Martha: Human from Villager {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: BakeryWork, priority: normal }
]
}
// Martha gets: [BakeryWork, BasicNeeds, Socialize, Sleep]
```
**Example 2: Selective Override**
```storybook
template Villager {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: BasicNeeds, priority: critical }
{ tree: Sleep, priority: normal }
]
uses schedule: VillagerSchedule
}
character Martha: Human from Villager {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: Sleep, priority: low } // Override just Sleep
]
uses schedule: BakerSchedule // Override schedule
}
// Behaviors: [Sleep(low), BasicNeeds(critical)]
// Schedule: BakerSchedule (replaces VillagerSchedule)
```
**Example 3: Multi-Level Inheritance**
```storybook
template Mortal {
uses behaviors: [{ tree: Age, priority: critical }]
}
template Worker from Mortal {
uses behaviors: [{ tree: Work, priority: normal }]
}
template Baker from Worker {
uses behaviors: [{ tree: BakeBreed, priority: normal }]
}
character Martha: Human from Baker {
uses behaviors: [{ tree: ManageBakery, priority: normal }]
}
// Result: [ManageBakery, BakeBread, Work, Age]
```
---
## 2. Dual Operator Support (`==` and `is`)
### 2.1 The Request
Sienna wants both `==` and `is` to work for equality comparisons (like Python).
**Examples:**
```storybook
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: Giant, when: current_size == huge } // C-style
{ tree: Tiny, when: current_size is tiny } // Python-style
]
```
### 2.2 Semantic Equivalence
Both operators mean **equality test**:
- `current_size == huge` → true if current_size equals huge
- `current_size is tiny` → true if current_size equals tiny
- No distinction between "identity" and "equality" (like Python's `is` vs `==`)
- They're syntactic alternatives for readability
### 2.3 Grammar Update
```lalrpop
// In parser.lalrpop
CompOp: CompOp = {
">=" => CompOp::Gte,
"<=" => CompOp::Lte,
"==" => CompOp::Eq,
"is" => CompOp::Eq, // NEW - maps to same enum variant
"!=" => CompOp::Neq,
">" => CompOp::Gt,
"<" => CompOp::Lt,
};
```
**AST Representation:**
```rust
pub enum CompOp {
Eq, // Both == and is map to this
Neq,
Lt,
Gt,
Lte,
Gte,
}
```
No AST change needed - both `==` and `is` produce the same `CompOp::Eq`.
### 2.4 Negation
**Question:** Should we support `is not` as well as `!=`? (yes i want this)
```storybook
when: current_size is not huge // Python style
when: current_size != huge // C style
```
**Recommendation:** **Yes**, support `is not` for consistency with Python:
```lalrpop
CompOp: CompOp = {
">=" => CompOp::Gte,
"<=" => CompOp::Lte,
"==" => CompOp::Eq,
"is" => CompOp::Eq,
"is" "not" => CompOp::Neq, // NEW
"!=" => CompOp::Neq,
">" => CompOp::Gt,
"<" => CompOp::Lt,
};
```
### 2.5 Updated Examples
**All valid:**
```storybook
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: Giant, when: size == huge }
{ tree: Giant, when: size is huge }
{ tree: Tiny, when: size != tiny }
{ tree: Tiny, when: size is not tiny }
]
```
### 2.6 Documentation Update
Update language docs to show both styles:
> **Condition Expressions**
>
> Use `when:` clauses to specify conditions for link selection:
>
> ```storybook
> when: emotional_state == frightened // C-style equality
> when: emotional_state is frightened // Python-style equality
> when: size != normal // C-style inequality
> when: size is not normal // Python-style inequality
> ```
>
> Both `==` and `is` mean equality. Both `!=` and `is not` mean inequality.
> Choose whichever reads more naturally for your condition.

## 5. Open Questions for Sienna (Checkpoint 2)
### Question 1: Empty Array Semantics ("not defined)
What should this mean?
```storybook
template Worker {
uses behaviors: [HandleNeeds, Rest]
}
character Martha: Human from Worker {
uses behaviors: [] // Empty array!
}
```
**Option A:** Empty = clear template behaviors (Martha has NO behaviors)
**Option B:** Empty = ignore, inherit from template (same as omitting field)
**Recommendation:** Option B
### Question 2: Priority Conflict Warnings (lsp warning is more than fine, yellow squiggly, internal behavior is to override at the character level)
Should we warn when character changes priority of template behavior?
```storybook
template Worker { uses behaviors: [{ tree: Rest, priority: high }] }
character Martha from Worker { uses behaviors: [{ tree: Rest, priority: low }] }
```
**Option A:** Silent override (no warning)
**Option B:** Warn about priority change
**Option C:** Error (must use same priority)
**Recommendation:** Option A (silent) or Option B (warning)
### Question 3: `is not` Support (absolutely yes)
Should we support `is not` alongside `!=`?
**Recommendation:** Yes, for consistency with Python
### Question 4: Merge Validation Level (um... strict is prolly best tbh)
How strict should merge conflict validation be?
**Option A:** Errors on any conflict (strict)
**Option B:** Warnings only (permissive)
**Option C:** Silent (trust user)
**Recommendation:** Option B (warnings)

# Resource Linking System Design
**Author:** Resource Linking Architect
**Date:** 2026-02-12
**Status:** Ready for Checkpoint 1 Review
**Version:** 0.2
**Keyword Decision:** `uses` (approved by Sienna)
---
## Executive Summary
This document proposes a unified `uses` keyword system for associating behaviors and schedules with characters and institutions in the Storybook DSL. The design enables:
- Characters using one or more behaviors
- Characters using one or more schedules
- Institutions using behaviors (for institutional operations)
- Institutions using schedules (operating hours, seasonal variations)
- Conditional/contextual selection of linked resources
- Priority-based behavior selection at runtime
---
## 1. Design Goals
### Primary Goals
1. **Unified Syntax**: Single `uses` keyword for both behaviors and schedules
2. **Simple Default Case**: Most common use case should be simple one-liner
3. **Powerful When Needed**: Support complex multi-link scenarios with conditions
4. **Clear Semantics**: Unambiguous about which behavior/schedule applies when
5. **Backward Compatible**: Existing .sb files continue to parse and work
### Non-Goals
1. **Not for Relationships**: Relationship linking remains separate (already exists)
2. **Not Inline Definitions**: Can only link to named behaviors/schedules, not define inline
3. **Not Dynamic Composition**: Links are static at author-time, selection is runtime
---
## 2. Syntax Design
### 2.1 Simple Single Link
The most common case: a character has one primary behavior and one schedule.
```storybook
character Martha: Human {
age: 34
uses behavior: WorkAtBakery
uses schedule: BakerSchedule
}
```
**AST Representation:**
```rust
// Add to Character struct in ast.rs
pub struct Character {
pub name: String,
pub species: Option<String>,
pub fields: Vec<Field>,
pub template: Option<Vec<String>>,
pub behavior_links: Vec<BehaviorLink>, // NEW
pub schedule_links: Vec<ScheduleLink>, // NEW
pub span: Span,
}
```
### 2.2 Multiple Links with Priorities
Characters may have multiple behaviors that activate based on context:
```storybook
character Alice: Human {
age: 7
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: HandleUrgentNeeds, priority: critical }
{ tree: CuriousExplorer, priority: normal }
{ tree: Idle, priority: low }
]
}
```
**Semantics:**
- Higher priority behaviors preempt lower priority ones
- Within same priority, declaration order determines evaluation
- `critical` > `high` > `normal` > `low`
### 2.3 Conditional Links
Links can have `when` conditions for context-based selection:
```storybook
character Alice: Human {
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: HandleUrgentNeeds, priority: critical }
{ tree: GiantBehavior, when: current_size == huge }
{ tree: TinyBehavior, when: current_size == tiny }
{ tree: NormalExploring, default: true }
]
uses schedules: [
{ schedule: SleepSchedule, when: emotional_state == exhausted }
{ schedule: AdventureSchedule, default: true }
]
}
```
**Condition Evaluation:**
- Conditions use the existing expression language (see design.md §5)
- `default: true` means "use this if no condition matches"
- Only one `default` allowed per link type
- Runtime evaluates conditions top-to-bottom
### 2.4 Institution Links
Institutions can link to behaviors and schedules:
```storybook
institution Bakery {
type: commercial
uses behavior: BakeryOperations
uses schedule: BakeryHours
}
```
**Multiple Schedules for Seasons:**
```storybook
institution Bakery {
uses schedules: [
{ schedule: SummerHours, when: season == summer }
{ schedule: WinterHours, when: season == winter }
{ schedule: StandardHours, default: true }
]
}
```
### 2.5 Template Inheritance
Templates can define default links that characters inherit:
```storybook
template WonderlandCreature {
uses behavior: WonderlandBehavior
uses schedule: WonderlandSchedule
}
character CheshireCat: Cat from WonderlandCreature {
// Inherits WonderlandBehavior and WonderlandSchedule
// Can override:
uses behavior: CheshireBehavior // Replaces WonderlandBehavior
}
```
**Override Semantics:**
- If character defines `uses behavior:`, it replaces template's behavior link entirely
- If character defines `uses behaviors: [...]`, it replaces template's behavior links
- No merging—it's full replacement (consistent with current template override system)
---
## 3. AST Design
### 3.1 New AST Types
```rust
// In src/syntax/ast.rs
/// A link to a behavior tree
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq)]
pub struct BehaviorLink {
pub tree: Vec<String>, // Qualified path to behavior
pub priority: Option<String>, // critical, high, normal, low
pub condition: Option<Expr>, // when clause
pub is_default: bool, // default: true
pub span: Span,
}
/// A link to a schedule
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq)]
pub struct ScheduleLink {
pub schedule: Vec<String>, // Qualified path to schedule
pub condition: Option<Expr>, // when clause
pub is_default: bool, // default: true
pub span: Span,
}
// Priority levels (could be enum or validated string)
pub enum Priority {
Critical,
High,
Normal,
Low,
}
```
### 3.2 Modified AST Structs
```rust
// Character gains link fields
pub struct Character {
pub name: String,
pub species: Option<String>,
pub fields: Vec<Field>,
pub template: Option<Vec<String>>,
pub behavior_links: Vec<BehaviorLink>, // NEW
pub schedule_links: Vec<ScheduleLink>, // NEW
pub span: Span,
}
// Institution gains link fields
pub struct Institution {
pub name: String,
pub fields: Vec<Field>,
pub behavior_links: Vec<BehaviorLink>, // NEW
pub schedule_links: Vec<ScheduleLink>, // NEW
pub span: Span,
}
// Template can also have links
pub struct Template {
pub name: String,
pub fields: Vec<Field>,
pub includes: Vec<Vec<String>>,
pub behavior_links: Vec<BehaviorLink>, // NEW
pub schedule_links: Vec<ScheduleLink>, // NEW
pub span: Span,
}
```
---
## 4. Parser Design (LALRPOP)
### 4.1 Grammar Productions
```lalrpop
// In parser.lalrpop
// Character definition with optional links
pub Character: Character = {
"character" <name:Ident> <species:SpeciesClause?> <template:TemplateClause?> "{"
<items:CharacterItem*>
"}" => {
let mut fields = vec![];
let mut behavior_links = vec![];
let mut schedule_links = vec![];
for item in items {
match item {
CharacterItem::Field(f) => fields.push(f),
CharacterItem::BehaviorLink(bl) => behavior_links.extend(bl),
CharacterItem::ScheduleLink(sl) => schedule_links.extend(sl),
}
}
Character { name, species, fields, template, behavior_links, schedule_links, span }
}
};
CharacterItem: CharacterItem = {
<Field> => CharacterItem::Field(<>),
<BehaviorLinkStmt> => CharacterItem::BehaviorLink(<>),
<ScheduleLinkStmt> => CharacterItem::ScheduleLink(<>),
};
// Behavior link statement
BehaviorLinkStmt: Vec<BehaviorLink> = {
// Single link: uses behavior: BehaviorName
"uses" "behavior" ":" <path:QualifiedPath> => {
vec![BehaviorLink {
tree: path,
priority: None,
condition: None,
is_default: false,
span,
}]
},
// Multiple links: uses behaviors: [...]
"uses" "behaviors" ":" "[" <links:Comma<BehaviorLinkSpec>> "]" => links,
};
BehaviorLinkSpec: BehaviorLink = {
// { tree: Name, priority: normal, when: condition, default: true }
"{" <fields:Comma<BehaviorLinkField>> "}" => {
let mut tree = None;
let mut priority = None;
let mut condition = None;
let mut is_default = false;
for field in fields {
match field {
BehaviorLinkField::Tree(path) => tree = Some(path),
BehaviorLinkField::Priority(p) => priority = Some(p),
BehaviorLinkField::Condition(c) => condition = Some(c),
BehaviorLinkField::Default => is_default = true,
}
}
BehaviorLink {
tree: tree.expect("tree field required"),
priority,
condition,
is_default,
span,
}
},
};
BehaviorLinkField: BehaviorLinkField = {
"tree" ":" <QualifiedPath> => BehaviorLinkField::Tree(<>),
"priority" ":" <Ident> => BehaviorLinkField::Priority(<>),
"when" ":" <Expr> => BehaviorLinkField::Condition(<>),
"default" ":" "true" => BehaviorLinkField::Default,
};
// Schedule link statement (parallel structure)
ScheduleLinkStmt: Vec<ScheduleLink> = {
"uses" "schedule" ":" <path:QualifiedPath> => {
vec![ScheduleLink {
schedule: path,
condition: None,
is_default: false,
span,
}]
},
"uses" "schedules" ":" "[" <links:Comma<ScheduleLinkSpec>> "]" => links,
};
ScheduleLinkSpec: ScheduleLink = {
"{" <fields:Comma<ScheduleLinkField>> "}" => {
let mut schedule = None;
let mut condition = None;
let mut is_default = false;
for field in fields {
match field {
ScheduleLinkField::Schedule(path) => schedule = Some(path),
ScheduleLinkField::Condition(c) => condition = Some(c),
ScheduleLinkField::Default => is_default = true,
}
}
ScheduleLink {
schedule: schedule.expect("schedule field required"),
condition,
is_default,
span,
}
},
};
ScheduleLinkField: ScheduleLinkField = {
"schedule" ":" <QualifiedPath> => ScheduleLinkField::Schedule(<>),
"when" ":" <Expr> => ScheduleLinkField::Condition(<>),
"default" ":" "true" => ScheduleLinkField::Default,
};
```
---
## 5. Resolution & Validation
### 5.1 Name Resolution
During the resolution pass (Pass 3 in design.md §4.7), the resolver must:
1. **Resolve Behavior Paths**: Each `tree: BehaviorName` must reference a valid `behavior` declaration
2. **Resolve Schedule Paths**: Each `schedule: ScheduleName` must reference a valid `schedule` declaration
3. **Validate Priorities**: Priority values must be one of {critical, high, normal, low}
4. **Validate Conditions**: Expressions in `when` clauses must be valid and type-check
**Error Examples:**
```
error: unresolved behavior reference
┌─ characters/alice.sb:12:23
│
12 │ uses behavior: CuriousExporer
│ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ no behavior named `CuriousExporer` exists
│
= help: did you mean `CuriousExplorer`? (defined in behaviors/alice_behaviors.sb)
```
### 5.2 Semantic Validation
1. **At Most One Default**: Each link array can have at most one `default: true`
2. **Priority + Default Conflicts**: If `default: true`, priority should be `low` or omitted
3. **Condition Completeness**: Warn if conditions are not exhaustive (no default + gaps in conditions)
**Warning Example:**
```
warning: conditions may not cover all cases
┌─ characters/alice.sb:8:5
│
8 │ uses behaviors: [
9 │ { tree: GiantBehavior, when: current_size == huge }
10 │ { tree: TinyBehavior, when: current_size == tiny }
11 │ ]
│
= note: no default behavior specified and conditions don't cover all size values
= help: add a default behavior: { tree: NormalBehavior, default: true }
```
### 5.3 Template Merge Logic
When a character uses `from Template`, behavior and schedule links are merged:
```rust
// Pseudocode for merge logic
fn merge_character_with_template(char: Character, template: Template) -> ResolvedCharacter {
let behavior_links = if !char.behavior_links.is_empty() {
char.behavior_links // Character overrides completely
} else {
template.behavior_links // Inherit from template
};
let schedule_links = if !char.schedule_links.is_empty() {
char.schedule_links
} else {
template.schedule_links
};
// ... merge fields, etc.
}
```
**Key Rule**: If character defines ANY behavior links, template's behavior links are ignored entirely. Same for schedules. This is all-or-nothing replacement, not merging. (no, i like merging. idk how we'll handle conflicts, but i want to support that kinda composition)
---
## 6. Resolved Type Representation
### 6.1 Resolved Link Types
```rust
// In src/types.rs
/// Resolved behavior link with all references resolved
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq)]
pub struct ResolvedBehaviorLink {
pub tree_name: String, // Fully qualified behavior name
pub priority: Priority, // Resolved to enum
pub condition: Option<Expr>, // Validated expression
pub is_default: bool,
}
/// Resolved schedule link
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq)]
pub struct ResolvedScheduleLink {
pub schedule_name: String, // Fully qualified schedule name
pub condition: Option<Expr>,
pub is_default: bool,
}
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, PartialOrd)]
pub enum Priority {
Critical = 3,
High = 2,
Normal = 1,
Low = 0,
}
```
### 6.2 Updated Resolved Structs
```rust
pub struct ResolvedCharacter {
pub name: String,
pub species: Option<String>,
pub fields: HashMap<String, Value>,
pub prose_blocks: HashMap<String, ProseBlock>,
pub behavior_links: Vec<ResolvedBehaviorLink>, // NEW
pub schedule_links: Vec<ResolvedScheduleLink>, // NEW
pub span: Span,
}
pub struct ResolvedInstitution {
pub name: String,
pub fields: HashMap<String, Value>,
pub behavior_links: Vec<ResolvedBehaviorLink>, // NEW
pub schedule_links: Vec<ResolvedScheduleLink>, // NEW
pub span: Span,
}
```
---
## 7. SBIR Representation Proposal
### 7.1 CHARACTERS Section Extension
Currently, the CHARACTERS section (called ENTITIES in some specs) stores character data. We extend it:
```
CHARACTERS Section:
- count: u32
- characters: [Character...]
Character:
- name: String
- species: Option<String>
- fields: Map<String, Value>
- behavior_links: [BehaviorLink...] <-- NEW
- schedule_links: [ScheduleLink...] <-- NEW
BehaviorLink:
- behavior_id: u32 (index into BEHAVIORS section)
- priority: u8 (0=low, 1=normal, 2=high, 3=critical)
- condition: Option<Expression>
- is_default: bool
ScheduleLink:
- schedule_id: u32 (index into SCHEDULES section)
- condition: Option<Expression>
- is_default: bool
Expression:
- (Existing expression bytecode format from design.md §5)
```
### 7.2 INSTITUTIONS Section Extension
```
INSTITUTIONS Section:
- count: u32
- institutions: [Institution...]
Institution:
- name: String
- fields: Map<String, Value>
- behavior_links: [BehaviorLink...] <-- NEW
- schedule_links: [ScheduleLink...] <-- NEW
```
### 7.3 BEHAVIORS and SCHEDULES Sections
These sections remain unchanged—they define the behavior trees and schedules. Links reference them by index.
**Index Resolution:**
- During compilation, behavior/schedule names are resolved to their index in the respective section
- At runtime, the engine uses the index to look up the behavior/schedule definition
---
## 8. Runtime Link Resolution Algorithm
### 8.1 Behavior Selection
When the engine needs to select a behavior for a character:
```rust
fn select_behavior(character: &Character, context: &RuntimeContext) -> Option<&Behavior> {
let mut candidates: Vec<_> = character.behavior_links
.iter()
.filter(|link| {
// Evaluate condition if present
link.condition.is_none() || evaluate_condition(&link.condition, context)
})
.collect();
if candidates.is_empty() {
return None;
}
// Sort by priority (descending)
candidates.sort_by(|a, b| b.priority.cmp(&a.priority));
// Return highest priority candidate
// (If multiple same priority, declaration order is preserved by stable sort)
let selected = candidates[0];
Some(get_behavior_by_id(selected.behavior_id))
}
```
**Key Properties:**
- Priority-based selection: higher priority wins
- Conditions filter candidates before priority sorting
- `default: true` only matters if no conditions match (it's implicitly `when: true`)
- Deterministic: same context always yields same behavior
### 8.2 Schedule Selection
```rust
fn select_schedule(entity: &Entity, context: &RuntimeContext) -> Option<&Schedule> {
for link in &entity.schedule_links {
if link.is_default {
continue; // Skip default, check it last
}
if link.condition.is_none() || evaluate_condition(&link.condition, context) {
return Some(get_schedule_by_id(link.schedule_id));
}
}
// No conditions matched, use default if present
entity.schedule_links
.iter()
.find(|link| link.is_default)
.map(|link| get_schedule_by_id(link.schedule_id))
}
```
**Key Properties:**
- First-match semantics: first condition that evaluates to true wins
- Default is fallback: only used if no condition matches
- Order matters: earlier links are checked first
---
## 9. Examples
### 9.1 Simple Character with Behavior and Schedule
```storybook
behavior BakerBehavior {
> {

### 9.2 Character with Multiple Context-Dependent Behaviors
```storybook
character Alice: Human {
age: 7
current_size: normal
emotional_state: curious
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: PanicBehavior, priority: critical, when: emotional_state == frightened }
{ tree: GiantBehavior, when: current_size == huge }
{ tree: TinyBehavior, when: current_size == tiny }
{ tree: BraveBehavior, when: emotional_state == brave }
{ tree: CuriousExplorer, default: true }
]
uses schedules: [
{ schedule: SleepingSchedule, when: emotional_state == exhausted }
{ schedule: AdventureSchedule, default: true }
]
}
```
### 9.3 Institution with Seasonal Schedules
```storybook
schedule SummerHours {
block open { 6:00 - 20:00 }
block closed { 20:00 - 6:00 }
}
schedule WinterHours {
block open { 7:00 - 18:00 }
block closed { 18:00 - 7:00 }
}
institution Bakery {
type: commercial
uses behavior: BakeryOperations
uses schedules: [
{ schedule: SummerHours, when: season == summer }
{ schedule: WinterHours, when: season == winter }
]
}
```
### 9.4 Template with Default Links
```storybook
behavior WonderlandBehavior {
> {
speak_nonsense
violate_logic
}
}
schedule WonderlandSchedule {
block awake { 0:00 - 24:00 } // Always awake in dreams
}
template WonderlandCreature {
uses behavior: WonderlandBehavior
uses schedule: WonderlandSchedule
}
character CheshireCat: Cat from WonderlandCreature {
// Inherits WonderlandBehavior and WonderlandSchedule
can_vanish: true
}
character Alice: Human from WonderlandCreature {
// Overrides behavior but keeps schedule
uses behavior: CuriousExplorer
}
```

## 10. Open Questions for User Review (Checkpoint 1)
### Question 1: Priority vs. Declaration Order
**Current Design:** Priority determines order, then declaration order breaks ties.
**Alternative:** Remove priority, use only declaration order (simpler but less expressive).
**Recommendation:** Keep priority. It's more explicit and handles common use cases like "urgent needs always trump routine activities." (i guess priority is fine)
### Question 2: Condition Syntax Sugar
**Current Design:** Full condition expressions.
**Alternative:** Add syntactic sugar for common patterns:
```storybook
uses behaviors: [
{ tree: GiantBehavior, when: current_size == huge }
// vs.
{ tree: GiantBehavior, when current_size: huge } // shorter
]
```
**Recommendation:** Start with full expressions, add sugar if usage reveals patterns. (use `==` or `is`, support both like python does.)
### Question 3: Schedule-Behavior Integration
**Current Design:** Behaviors and schedules are separate links. Schedule determines WHEN, behavior determines WHAT.
**Alternative:** Allow schedules to specify behaviors inline:
```storybook
schedule WorkSchedule {
block work { 9:00 - 17:00, behavior: WorkBehavior }
}
```
**Recommendation:** Defer inline behaviors to schedule system design (Task #8). Keep linking separate for now. (yeah that's fine)
### Question 4: Link Override Semantics
**Current Design:** If character defines any behavior links, template's links are completely replaced.
**Alternative:** Merge character and template links (character links come first, then template links).
**Recommendation:** Keep replacement semantics. It's clearer and matches existing override system. (sure? i don't remember the nuances tbh)
### Question 5: Multiple Defaults
**Current Design:** At most one `default: true` per link type.
**Alternative:** Allow multiple defaults with priority order.
**Recommendation:** Keep single default. Multiple defaults creates ambiguity. (single default makes sense?)
---
## 11. Implementation Plan (for Task #6)
### Phase 1: AST Extension (Week 1)
1. Add `BehaviorLink` and `ScheduleLink` structs to `ast.rs`
2. Add link fields to `Character`, `Institution`, `Template`
3. Update `Declaration` enum if needed
### Phase 2: Parser Implementation (Week 1-2)
1. Implement `BehaviorLinkStmt` and `ScheduleLinkStmt` grammar
2. Implement `BehaviorLinkSpec` and `ScheduleLinkSpec` parsing
3. Add link parsing to character, institution, template productions
4. Write parser tests for all link variations
### Phase 3: Resolution (Week 2)
1. Implement behavior/schedule name resolution in `resolve/names.rs`
2. Add priority validation
3. Add condition expression validation
4. Implement template merge logic for links in `resolve/merge.rs`
5. Write resolution tests
### Phase 4: Resolved Types (Week 2)
1. Add `ResolvedBehaviorLink` and `ResolvedScheduleLink` to `types.rs`
2. Update `ResolvedCharacter` and `ResolvedInstitution`
3. Implement conversion in `resolve/convert.rs`
4. Write conversion tests
### Phase 5: Validation & Diagnostics (Week 3)
1. Implement semantic validation (single default, etc.)
2. Add helpful error messages with fuzzy matching
3. Add warnings for incomplete condition coverage
4. Write validation tests
### Phase 6: Integration & Documentation (Week 3)
1. Update examples to use new linking syntax
2. Update language documentation
3. Run full test suite
4. Create migration examples (if backward compatibility breaks)
**Total Estimate:** 3 weeks implementation after design approval.
---

---
## 13. Risks & Mitigation
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|-----------|--------|------------|
| Syntax conflicts with relationship linking | Low | Medium | Different syntax context—parser can disambiguate |
| Complex condition expressions hard to debug | Medium | Medium | Good error messages, warnings for non-exhaustive conditions |
| Priority system confusing for users | Medium | Low | Clear documentation, examples, default priority=normal |
| Template override semantics unclear | Medium | Medium | Explicit documentation, validation warnings |
| SBIR encoding inefficient | Low | Low | Use indices for references, compress expressions |
| Runtime selection too slow | Low | Medium | Profile early, cache selections if needed |
---
## Appendix A: Comparison with Relationship Linking
**Relationship Linking** (existing):
- Top-level `relationship` declarations
- Participants within relationships
- Bidirectional by nature
- `self`/`other` blocks for asymmetry
**Resource Linking** (this design):
- Links within character/institution definitions
- References to external behaviors/schedules
- Unidirectional (character → behavior)
- Conditions/priorities for selection
These are complementary systems serving different purposes. No conflict.
---
## Appendix B: Grammar Sketch (Full)
```lalrpop
// Simplified grammar showing link integration
Character: Character = {
"character" <name:Ident> <species:SpeciesClause?> <template:TemplateClause?>
"{" <items:CharacterItem*> "}" => // ... construct Character
};
CharacterItem = {
Field,
BehaviorLinkStmt,
ScheduleLinkStmt,
ProseBlock,
};
BehaviorLinkStmt: Vec<BehaviorLink> = {
"uses" "behavior" ":" <QualifiedPath> => // single link
"uses" "behaviors" ":" "[" <Comma<BehaviorLinkSpec>> "]" => // multi link
};
BehaviorLinkSpec: BehaviorLink = {
"{" <Comma<BehaviorLinkField>> "}" => // parse fields into BehaviorLink
};
BehaviorLinkField = {
"tree" ":" QualifiedPath,
"priority" ":" Ident,
"when" ":" Expr,
"default" ":" "true",
};
// Parallel structure for schedules...
```

# Storybook Editor UI Architecture
> Structured creative tools for non-technical storytelling
## Design Philosophy
**Primary User (Lonni)**: Creative writer who thinks in characters, relationships, and narrative arcs—NOT files and syntax.
**Secondary User (Sienna)**: Developer who needs access to raw `.sb` files for behavior trees, schemas, and engine integration.
**Core Principle**: The editor should feel like **writing**, not coding. Structured panes guide creation. The file editor is "manual mode" for power users.
## Application Structure

## Primary Views (Structured Editing)
### 1. Character Editor
**Purpose**: Create and edit characters through forms and rich text, NOT raw `.sb` syntax.
**Layout**:
- **Header**: Name input (large, prominent)
- **Metadata Row**: Age, species, template dropdowns
- **Traits Section**: Sliders for numeric traits, chips for tags
- **Prose Sections**: Tabbed rich text areas for backstory, appearance, personality
- **Portrait**: Image upload with preview
- **Relationships**: Quick list with "Edit" buttons
- **Schedule**: Mini timeline preview with "Edit Full Schedule" button
**Interaction**:
- All changes auto-save to `.sb` file (no explicit save button for small edits)
- Git auto-commit on major milestones (e.g., "Update Alice: added backstory")
- Validation errors show inline (e.g., red border + tooltip for out-of-range trait)
**Example**:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Name: Alice [Portrait]│
│ Age: 7 Species: Human Template: Child │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Traits │
│ curiosity 0.95 [━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━•─] │
│ politeness 0.75 [━━━━━━━━━━━•─────] │
│ fear_of_queen 0.10 [━•──────────────────] │
│ │
│ Tags: [imaginative] [brave] [+ Add Tag] │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ ⎔ Backstory │ Appearance │ Personality │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting │
│ by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing │
│ to do... │
│ │
│ [Rich text editor with basic formatting] │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
### 2. Relationship Editor
**Purpose**: Visually connect characters and define relationship properties.
**Layout**:
- **Graph View**: Force-directed graph with character nodes
- **Edge Selection**: Click edge to edit relationship details
- **Properties Panel**: Bond strength, coordination level, bond type
- **Asymmetric Fields**: "From Alice's perspective" / "From Rabbit's perspective"
**Interaction**:
- Drag nodes to rearrange
- Click edge → properties panel appears
- Slider for bond strength (0.0 to 1.0)
- Dropdown for bond type (romantic, familial, friendship, etc.)
**Example**:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Relationship: Alice ↔ White Rabbit │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Bond Strength: 0.65 [━━━━━━━•──────] │
│ Bond Type: friendship │
│ Coordination: ad_hoc │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ From Alice's perspective: │
│ Respect for punctuality: 0.80 [━━━━━━━━•──] │

│ Guards │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
### 3. Schedule Builder
**Purpose**: Visual timeline for daily routines (no typing time codes!).
**Layout**:
- **Timeline**: Horizontal 24-hour view with draggable blocks
- **Activity Palette**: Drag activities from sidebar onto timeline
- **Activity Editor**: Click block to edit parameters
**Interaction**:
- Drag edges to resize time blocks
- Drag from palette to add new activity
- Snap to 15-minute increments
- Validation: overlapping blocks show warning
**Example**:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Schedule: Alice's Day │
├────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │ 00:00 06:00 12:00 18:00 24:00 │
│ ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Su │ ████Sleep████│Breakfast│Play│Tea│Study│Play│█Sleep██ │

│ │
│ Selected: Tea Party (16:00 → 17:00) │
│ Location: Garden │
│ Participants: Mad Hatter, March Hare, Dormouse │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
### 4. Behavior Tree Builder (Advanced)
**Purpose**: Visual node graph for programmable behaviors (Sienna's domain, but approachable for Lonni).
**Layout**:
- **Canvas**: Infinite 2D space for nodes
- **Node Palette**: Selector, Sequence, Condition, Action, Decorator
- **Inspector**: Selected node's properties
**Interaction**:
- Drag nodes from palette
- Connect with edges (parent → children)
- Right-click node → context menu (delete, duplicate, etc.)
- Validation: orphan nodes, missing actions show errors
**Example**:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Behavior: WorkAtBakery │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Palette: [Selector] [Sequence] [?Condition] [→Action] │

# Storybook Editor Visual Design System
> A synthesis of Teenage Engineering's bold minimalism and Dieter Rams' functionalist precision.
## Design Principles
### Core Tenets
1. **Functional First** - Every element serves a purpose. No decoration for decoration's sake.
2. **Grid-Based Precision** - All elements align to an 8px base grid. Spacing is deliberate.
3. **Restrained + Energetic** - Sophisticated aubergine foundation with bold gold accents.
4. **Tactile Clarity** - Interactions feel deliberate. Buttons have weight. Feedback is immediate.
5. **Honest Materials** - Code is monospace. Text is sans-serif. No skeuomorphism.
6. **Long-Lasting** - Timeless aesthetic that won't feel dated in 5 years.
### The Rams x TE Synthesis
| Dieter Rams (Braun) | Teenage Engineering | Our Synthesis |
|---------------------|---------------------|---------------|
| "Less, but better" | Bold, playful color | Minimal structure, bold accents |
| Neutral grays | Signature orange | Aubergine + gold |
| Pure function | Emotional response | Functional with character |
| Unobtrusive | Visual delight | Delightful when needed |
| Grid systems | Grid systems | 8px base grid |
## Color System
### Primary Palette
```
Aubergine Foundation:
├─ aubergine-900 #1a0f1e Background (darkest)
├─ aubergine-800 #2b1a33 Surface (cards, panels)
├─ aubergine-700 #3d2447 Surface hover
├─ aubergine-600 #4f2e5b Borders
├─ aubergine-500 #61386f Subtle highlights
├─ aubergine-400 #805793 Active elements
└─ aubergine-300 #9f76a7 Muted text
Gold Accents:
├─ gold-500 #f4a261 Primary accent (TE orange-gold)
├─ gold-400 #f6b47a Hover state
└─ gold-300 #f8c594 Pressed state
Supporting:
├─ cream #fdf8f3 High contrast text
├─ warm-gray-100 #e8e3dd Secondary text
├─ warm-gray-400 #8b8680 Muted text
└─ warm-gray-700 #4a4845 Disabled elements
```
### Semantic Colors
```
Success: #6a994e Muted olive green (validation passed)
Warning: #f4a261 Gold (reuse accent)
Error: #d62828 Deep red (parse errors)
Info: #9f76a7 Light aubergine (hints)
```
### Usage Guidelines
- **Backgrounds**: Always aubergine-900 or aubergine-800
- **Text**: Cream for primary, warm-gray-100 for secondary
- **Accents**: Gold only for interactive elements and key information
- **Borders**: aubergine-600 for subtle division, gold-500 for focus
- **Code**: Syntax highlighting uses muted versions of semantic colors
## Typography
### Typeface Stack
```
UI Text (Sans-Serif):
Primary: Geist, system-ui, -apple-system, sans-serif
Weights: 400 (regular), 500 (medium), 600 (semibold)
Code (Monospace):
Primary: "Monaspace Neon", "Monaspace", monospace
Weights: 400 (regular), 600 (semibold)
Features: Enable 'calt' for texture healing, ligatures
Fallback: "JetBrains Mono", "Fira Code", Consolas, monospace
Headings (Sans-Serif):
Primary: Same as UI but always semibold (600)
```
### Type Scale (8px base grid)
```
Heading 1: 24px / 32px semibold (Panel titles)
Heading 2: 20px / 28px semibold (Section headers)
Heading 3: 16px / 24px semibold (Subsections)
Body: 14px / 20px regular (Default text)
Body Small: 12px / 16px regular (Secondary info)
Caption: 11px / 16px regular (Labels, metadata)
Code: 13px / 20px regular (Monospace content)
```
### Guidelines
- **Line Height**: 1.4–1.6 for readability
- **Letter Spacing**: Default for body, +0.02em for labels/captions
- **Hierarchy**: Size + weight + color (don't rely on size alone)
- **Monospace**: Only for code, file paths, and data values
## Spacing System
### 8px Base Grid
```
Micro: 4px (Icon padding, tight spacing)
Small: 8px (Default gap between related elements)
Medium: 16px (Section spacing)
Large: 24px (Panel padding)
XLarge: 32px (Major section separation)
XXLarge: 48px (Page margins, hero spacing)
```
### Application
- All element sizes divisible by 8px
- Padding and margins follow the scale above
- Icons are 16px or 24px
- Buttons have 8px vertical padding, 16px horizontal
- Panel padding is 24px

```
## Layout Architecture
### Grid System
```
Base Grid: 8px
Columns: 12 or 24 column system
Gutter: 16px
Max Width: 1600px (ultra-wide consideration)
```
### Panel Proportions
```
Three-Column Layout (File Browser | Editor | Inspector):
├─ File Browser: 240px–320px (fixed, resizable)
├─ Editor: Flex-grow (takes remaining space)
└─ Inspector: 280px–400px (fixed, resizable)
Two-Column Layout (File Browser | Editor):
├─ File Browser: 240px–320px
└─ Editor: Flex-grow
Diagnostics Panel (Bottom):
├─ Height: 200px–400px (resizable)
└─ Full width
```
### Z-Index Layers
```
1. Base (0): Background, surfaces
2. Content (1): Text, images, forms
3. Overlays (10): Dropdowns, tooltips
4. Modals (100): Dialogs, confirmations
5. Notifications (1000): Toast messages, alerts
```
## Interaction Design
### Animation Principles
1. **Fast but Noticeable** - 150–200ms for most transitions
2. **Easing**: ease-out for entrances, ease-in for exits
3. **Purpose-Driven** - Animate only to provide feedback or guide attention
4. **Consistent** - Same animation for same action across the app
### Micro-interactions
```
Button Click:
└─ 100ms scale down to 0.98, then return
Hover:
└─ 150ms background color transition
Focus:
└─ Immediate gold border + glow (no delay)
Panel Resize:
└─ Live (no animation) - functional over flashy
Tab Switch:
└─ 200ms fade (crossfade if content changes)
```
### Feedback Patterns
- **Click**: Immediate visual response (scale/color change)
- **Hover**: Subtle background change (150ms transition)
- **Success**: Green flash + success icon (500ms)
- **Error**: Red border pulse + shake animation (300ms)
- **Loading**: Gold spinner appears after 300ms delay (don't flash for quick ops)
## Accessibility
### Contrast Ratios
- **Body text (cream on aubergine-900)**: 15.2:1 (AAA)
- **Secondary text (warm-gray-100 on aubergine-900)**: 11.8:1 (AAA)
- **Gold accent on aubergine-900**: 7.1:1 (AA Large)
- **Buttons**: Ensure 4.5:1 minimum
### Keyboard Navigation
- **Tab order**: Logical, follows visual layout
- **Focus indicators**: Gold border + glow (always visible)
- **Shortcuts**: Display in tooltips, use standard conventions
- **Escape**: Always closes modals/dialogs
### Screen Readers
- Semantic HTML where possible
- ARIA labels for custom components
- Status announcements for validation/errors
- Descriptive button text (no "click here")
## Icon System
### Style
- **Outline style** (not filled) - more Rams than TE
- **Stroke width**: 1.5px
- **Sizes**: 16px, 24px (following grid)
- **Color**: Inherits text color unless accent needed
### Common Icons
```
Navigation:
├─ Folder (closed/open)
├─ File
├─ Search
├─ Settings
└─ Home
Actions:
├─ Plus (add)
├─ X (close/remove)
├─ Check (confirm)
├─ Edit (pencil)
└─ Save (disk or checkmark)
States:
├─ Success (checkmark circle)
├─ Error (X circle)
├─ Warning (! triangle)
└─ Info (i circle)
```
## Dark Mode (Primary Mode)
The aubergine palette is designed dark-first. Light mode is not planned for v1, but if needed:
```
Light Mode Palette (Future):
├─ Background: cream (#fdf8f3)
├─ Surface: warm-gray-100 (#f5f1ec)
├─ Text: aubergine-900
├─ Accent: Slightly deeper gold (#e89350)
└─ Borders: warm-gray-400
```
## Responsive Considerations
### Breakpoints
```
Compact: < 1024px (Single panel focus mode)
Standard: 1024–1440px (Two panels)
Wide: > 1440px (Three panels comfortable)
```
### Adaptive Layout
- **< 1024px**: File browser as overlay/drawer
- **1024–1440px**: Two-panel default (browser + editor)
- **> 1440px**: Three-panel comfortable
## Implementation Notes
### Iced Styling
```rust
// Example theme structure
pub struct StorybookTheme {
pub palette: Palette,
pub spacing: Spacing,
pub typography: Typography,
}
pub struct Palette {
pub aubergine_900: Color,
pub gold_500: Color,
// etc.
}
```
### File Organization
```
storybook-editor/src/
├─ theme/
│ ├─ mod.rs (Theme struct)
│ ├─ colors.rs (Color constants)
│ ├─ typography.rs (Font definitions)
│ └─ components.rs (Component styles)
├─ components/
│ ├─ button.rs
│ ├─ input.rs
│ └─ panel.rs
└─ ui/
└─ (Application views)
```

# Storybook Language Guide
> **Create rich narrative simulations through code that reads like stories.**
Welcome to the complete guide for the Storybook narrative simulation language! Whether you're a creative writer bringing characters to life or a developer building simulation systems, this documentation will help you master Storybook.
---
**⚠️ Alpha Software Notice**
Storybook is currently in **alpha** and under active development at [r3t Studios](https://r3t.io). While the core language features are stable and ready to use, you should expect:
- **New features** to be added as we expand the language capabilities
- **Minor syntax adjustments** as we refine the design based on real-world usage
- **API changes** in the compiled output format as we optimize for game engine integration
We're committed to a thoughtful path toward version 1.0. Breaking changes will be clearly documented, and we'll provide migration guides when syntax evolves. Your feedback during this alpha period is invaluable in shaping the language's future!
---
## What is Storybook?
Storybook is a **compiled simulation language** designed for **open-world, autonomous game simulations**. While it includes a basic embedded virtual machine for terminal-based debugging, it's built to be integrated into game engines and developed hand-in-hand with technical game developers.
Storybook defines characters, behaviors, relationships, and narrative events for autonomous agents in dynamic worlds. It bridges the gap between storytelling and technical simulation through:
- **Readable syntax** - Code that looks like natural descriptions, but compiles to efficient bytecode
- **Named nodes** - Behavior trees you can read as stories, that drive AI decision-making
- **Prose blocks** - Embed narrative directly in definitions for context-aware storytelling
- **Rich semantics** - From simple traits to complex state machines and schedules
- **Game engine integration** - Designed to power autonomous NPCs in Unity, Unreal, Godot, and custom engines
## Choose Your Path

- `RecurrencePattern` - recurring events
- `RecurrenceSpec` with variants:
- Every N days
- Weekly on specific days
- Monthly on day N
- Annually on month/day
- Pattern-based schedule composition and merging
- User-definable calendar enums (DayOfWeek, Season, Month)
**Behavior Tree Enhancements:**
- Optional `label` field on Selector and Sequence nodes (for debugging)
- Parameterized decorators:
- `DecoratorRepeatN(u32)` - repeat N times
- `DecoratorRepeatRange(u32, u32)` - repeat min..max times

### Changed
**Breaking:**
- `ScheduleBlock.name` is now required (was `Option<String>`)
- `ScheduleBlock.start` and `end` changed from `Time` struct to `u16` (minutes since midnight)
- `ScheduleBlock.activity: String` removed, replaced with `behavior_ref: Option<Vec<String>>`
- Binary format version updated from 0x0001 to 0x0002
- Character and Institution sections have different binary layout (added link vectors)
- Schedule section completely redesigned
**Non-breaking:**
- Behavior tree Selector/Sequence nodes extended (backward compatible if label is None)
### Removed
- `ScheduleBlock.activity` field (replaced by `behavior_ref`)
### Deprecated
- None (first formal release)
### Fixed
- None (first formal release)
### Security
- None
---
## [0.1.0] - Implicit (Pre-Release)

# Design Patterns
This chapter presents proven patterns for structuring Storybook projects. These patterns have emerged from building complex narrative simulations and represent best practices for maintainability, reuse, and clarity.
## Behavior Tree Patterns
### Priority Fallback Chain
Use a selector to try increasingly desperate options:
```storybook
behavior Survival {
choose survival_priority {
then optimal {
if(health > 70 and has_supplies)
ProceedNormally
}
then cautious {
if(health > 30)
ProceedCarefully
}
then desperate {
if(health > 10)
SeekHelp
}
LastResortPanic
}
}
```
The tree naturally degrades: first tries the best option, then falls back through progressively worse alternatives.
### Conditional Behavior Switching
Use guards at the top level to switch between behavioral modes:
```storybook
behavior ModeSwitcher {
choose mode {
if(is_combat_mode) {
include CombatBehavior
}
if(is_exploration_mode) {
include ExplorationBehavior
}
if(is_social_mode) {
include SocialBehavior
}
include IdleBehavior
}
}
```
### Composite Subtree Pattern
Break complex behaviors into focused, reusable subtrees:
```storybook
// Atomic subtrees
behavior Navigate { then nav { PlanPath, FollowPath } }
behavior Interact { then talk { Approach, Greet, Converse } }
behavior Trade { then exchange { ShowGoods, Negotiate, Exchange } }
// Composed behavior
behavior Merchant_AI {
choose activity {
then serve_customer {
if(customer_present)
include Interact
include Trade
}
then travel_to_market {
if(is_market_day)
include Navigate
}
Idle
}
}
```
### Repeating Patrol with Interrupts
Use a repeating patrol that can be interrupted by higher-priority events:
```storybook
character Guard {
uses behaviors: [
{
tree: GuardCombat
when: threat_detected
priority: high
},
{
tree: GuardPatrol
priority: normal
}
]
}
behavior GuardPatrol {
repeat {
then patrol_loop {
MoveTo(destination: "Waypoint1")
WaitAndScan(duration: 5s)
MoveTo(destination: "Waypoint2")
WaitAndScan(duration: 5s)
}
}
}
```
The combat behavior preempts patrol when threats appear, then patrol resumes.
## Character Architecture Patterns
### Species + Templates Composition
Use species for identity and templates for capabilities:
```storybook
// Species: What they ARE
species Human { lifespan: 70 }
species Elf { lifespan: 1000 }
// Templates: What they HAVE
template Warrior { strength: 10..20, weapon_skill: 0.5..1.0 }
template Scholar { intelligence: 15..20, books_read: 50..500 }
template Leader { charisma: 12..18, followers: 5..50 }
// Characters: Combine both
character Aragorn: Human from Warrior, Leader {
strength: 18
charisma: 17
}
character Elrond: Elf from Scholar, Leader {
intelligence: 20
charisma: 18
}
```
### Strict Templates for Schema Enforcement
Use strict templates when you need controlled, uniform entities:
```storybook
template RecipeCard strict {
recipe_name: string
difficulty: Difficulty
prep_time_minutes: 10..180
}
// This works:
character SourdoughRecipe from RecipeCard {
recipe_name: "Classic Sourdough"
difficulty: intermediate
prep_time_minutes: 120
}
// This would error (extra field not allowed):
// character BadRecipe from RecipeCard {
// recipe_name: "Mystery Bread"
// difficulty: easy
// favorite_color: "blue" // Error!
// }
```
### Template Inheritance Chains
Build template hierarchies for progressive specialization:
```storybook
template Worker {
skill_level: 0.0..1.0
wage: 10..50
}
template SkilledWorker {
include Worker
specialization: "general"
tool_proficiency: 0.5..1.0
}
template MasterCraftsman {
include SkilledWorker
can_teach: true
reputation: 0.7..1.0
}
```
## Relationship Patterns
### Bidirectional Perspective
Model relationships where each side sees things differently:
```storybook
relationship MentorApprentice {
Master as mentor self {
patience: 0.7
investment_in_student: 0.9
} other {
sees_potential: 0.8
frustration_level: 0.3
}
Student as apprentice self {
dedication: 0.8
overwhelmed: 0.4
} other {
respect: 0.95
desire_to_impress: 0.9
}
bond: 0.75
years_together: 3
}
```
### Power Dynamic Pattern
Model unequal power relationships explicitly:
```storybook
relationship Vassalage {
King as lord self {
authority: 1.0
grants: "protection"
} other {
trusts_vassal: 0.6
}
Knight as vassal self {
loyalty: 0.9
ambition: 0.4
} other {
respects_lord: 0.8
fears_lord: 0.3
}
bond: 0.7
}
```
### Relationship Network
Build social graphs with multiple overlapping relationships:
```storybook
// Family
relationship BakerMarriage { Martha as spouse, David as spouse, bond: 0.9 }
relationship BakerParenting { Martha as parent, Tommy as child, bond: 0.95 }
// Professional
relationship BakerEmployment { Martha as employer, Elena as employee, bond: 0.8 }
relationship GuildMembership { Martha as member, BakersGuild as org }
// Social
relationship BakerFriendship { Martha, Neighbor, bond: 0.6 }
```
## Schedule Patterns
### Base Schedule with Specializations
```storybook
schedule BaseWorker {
block work { 09:00 - 17:00, action: work::standard }
block lunch { 12:00 - 13:00, action: social::lunch }
}
schedule EarlyBird extends BaseWorker {
block work { 05:00 - 13:00, action: work::early_shift }
block lunch { 11:00 - 12:00, action: social::lunch }
}
schedule NightOwl extends BaseWorker {
block work { 14:00 - 22:00, action: work::late_shift }
block lunch { 18:00 - 19:00, action: social::dinner }
}
```
### Seasonal Variation
```storybook
schedule FarmSchedule {
block spring_work {
06:00 - 18:00
action: farming::plant
on season spring
}
block summer_work {
05:00 - 20:00
action: farming::tend
on season summer
}
block fall_work {
06:00 - 20:00
action: farming::harvest
on season fall
}
block winter_work {
08:00 - 16:00
action: farming::maintain
on season winter
}
}
```
## Life Arc Patterns
### Progressive Development
```storybook
life_arc CareerProgression {
state novice {
on enter { Character.title: "Apprentice" }
on experience > 100 -> intermediate
}
state intermediate {
on enter { Character.title: "Journeyman" }
on experience > 500 -> expert
}
state expert {
on enter { Character.title: "Master", Character.can_teach: true }
}
}
```
### Emotional State Machine
```storybook
life_arc MoodSystem {
state neutral {
on provoked -> angry
on complimented -> happy
on tired -> sleepy
}
state angry {
on enter { Character.aggression: 0.9 }
on calmed_down -> neutral
on escalated -> furious
}
state furious {
on enter { Character.aggression: 1.0 }
on timeout_elapsed -> angry
}
state happy {
on enter { Character.gives_discounts: true }
on insulted -> neutral
}
state sleepy {
on enter { Character.responsiveness: 0.2 }
on woke_up -> neutral
}
}
```
## Project Organization Patterns
### Schema / World Separation
Keep type definitions separate from instance data:
```
my-project/
schema/ # Types and templates (reusable)
core_enums.sb
templates.sb
beings.sb
world/ # Instances (specific to this story)
characters/
behaviors/
relationships/
locations/
```
### Module per Domain
Group related declarations together:
```
world/
characters/
heroes.sb # All hero characters
villains.sb # All villain characters
npcs.sb # Background characters
behaviors/
combat.sb # Combat behaviors
social.sb # Social behaviors
exploration.sb # Exploration behaviors
```
## Anti-Patterns to Avoid
**Deep nesting**: More than 4-5 levels of behavior tree nesting is hard to read. Use `include` to flatten.
**God behaviors**: One massive behavior tree doing everything. Break it into focused subtrees.
**Deep species hierarchies**: More than 2-3 levels of species `includes` is rarely needed. Use templates for variation.
**Duplicated logic**: If two behaviors share logic, extract it into a shared subtree.
**Unnamed nodes**: Always label composite nodes in behavior trees for readability.

# The SBIR Binary Format
SBIR (Storybook Intermediate Representation) is the compiled binary format produced by the Storybook compiler. It transforms human-readable `.sb` files into an optimized, machine-consumable format for simulation runtimes.
## Compilation Pipeline
```
.sb files → Lexer → Parser → AST → Resolver → SBIR Binary
```
1. **Lexer**: Tokenizes raw text into tokens
2. **Parser**: Builds an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) from tokens
3. **Resolver**: Validates, resolves cross-references, merges templates, and produces SBIR
## What SBIR Contains
SBIR represents the fully resolved state of a Storybook project:
- **Characters**: All fields resolved (species + templates merged, overrides applied)
- **Behaviors**: Behavior trees with all subtree references inlined
- **Life Arcs**: State machines with validated transitions
- **Schedules**: Time blocks with resolved action references
- **Relationships**: Participants with resolved entity references
- **Institutions**: Fully resolved field sets
- **Locations**: Fully resolved field sets
- **Species**: Fully resolved inheritance chains
- **Enums**: Complete variant lists
## Resolution Process
### Template Merging
When a character uses templates, SBIR contains the fully merged result:
**Source:**
```storybook
species Human { lifespan: 70, speed: 1.0 }
template Warrior { speed: 1.5, strength: 10 }
character Conan: Human from Warrior {
strength: 20
}
```
**In SBIR, Conan's fields are:**
- `lifespan: 70` (from Human)
- `speed: 1.5` (Warrior overrides Human)
- `strength: 20` (Conan overrides Warrior)
### Cross-File Reference Resolution
SBIR resolves all `use` statements and qualified paths. A relationship referencing `Martha` in a different file is resolved to the concrete character definition.
### Validation
Before producing SBIR, the resolver validates all constraints documented in [Validation Rules](../reference/19-validation.md):
- All references resolve to defined declarations
- No circular dependencies
- Type consistency
- Domain constraints (bond ranges, schedule validity)
## Design Goals
**Compact**: SBIR strips comments, whitespace, and redundant structure.
**Self-contained**: No external references -- everything is resolved and inlined.
**Fast to load**: Simulation runtimes can load SBIR without re-parsing or re-resolving.
**Validated**: If SBIR was produced, the source was valid. Runtimes do not need to re-validate.
## Usage
SBIR is consumed by simulation runtimes that drive character behavior, schedule execution, life arc transitions, and relationship queries. The specific binary format is implementation-defined and may evolve between versions.
For the current SBIR specification, see the [SBIR v0.2.0 Spec](../SBIR-v0.2.0-SPEC.md).

# Integration Guide
This chapter covers how to integrate Storybook into larger systems -- game engines, simulation frameworks, and custom applications.
## Architecture Overview
Storybook operates in two phases:
1. **Compile time**: `.sb` files are parsed, validated, and compiled into SBIR
2. **Runtime**: A simulation engine consumes SBIR and drives character behavior
```
Compile Time Runtime
.sb files → [Storybook Compiler] → SBIR → [Simulation Engine] → Character Actions
```
## The Storybook Compiler
The compiler is a Rust library and CLI tool that processes `.sb` files.
### CLI Usage
```bash
# Compile a directory of .sb files
storybook compile path/to/project/
# Compile with output path
storybook compile path/to/project/ -o output.sbir
# Validate without producing output
storybook check path/to/project/
```
### As a Library
The compiler can be embedded as a Rust dependency:
```rust
use storybook::syntax::parse_file;
use storybook::resolve::resolve_files;
// Parse .sb files into ASTs
let ast = parse_file(source_code)?;
// Resolve across multiple files
let resolved = resolve_files(vec![ast1, ast2, ast3])?;
// Access resolved data
for character in resolved.characters() {
println!("{}: {:?}", character.name, character.fields);
}
```
### Key Types
The resolved output provides these primary types:
| Type | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `ResolvedFile` | Container for all resolved declarations |
| `ResolvedCharacter` | Character with merged species/template fields |
| `ResolvedBehavior` | Behavior tree with resolved subtree references |
| `ResolvedLifeArc` | State machine with validated transitions |
| `ResolvedSchedule` | Schedule with resolved time blocks |
| `ResolvedRelationship` | Relationship with resolved participant references |
| `ResolvedInstitution` | Institution with resolved fields |
| `ResolvedLocation` | Location with resolved fields |
| `ResolvedSpecies` | Species with resolved includes chain |
| `ResolvedEnum` | Enum with variant list |
## Runtime Integration
### Behavior Tree Execution
Runtimes are responsible for:
1. **Tick-based evaluation**: Call the behavior tree root each frame/tick
2. **Action execution**: Interpret action nodes (e.g., `MoveTo`, `Attack`)
3. **Condition evaluation**: Evaluate expression nodes against current state
4. **Decorator state**: Maintain timer/counter state for stateful decorators
### Life Arc Execution
1. Track the current state for each life arc instance
2. Evaluate transition conditions each tick
3. Execute on-enter actions when transitioning
4. Maintain state persistence across ticks
### Schedule Execution
1. Get the current simulation time
2. Find the matching schedule block (considering temporal constraints and recurrences)
3. Execute the associated behavior tree action
### Relationship Queries
Provide APIs for querying the relationship graph:
- Find all relationships for a character
- Get bond strength between two entities
- Query perspective fields (self/other)
## LSP Integration
Storybook includes a Language Server Protocol (LSP) implementation for editor support:
- **Hover information**: Documentation for keywords and declarations
- **Go to definition**: Navigate to declaration sources
- **Diagnostics**: Real-time error reporting
- **Completions**: Context-aware suggestions
The LSP server reuses the compiler's parser and resolver, providing the same validation as the CLI.
### Editor Setup
The Storybook LSP works with any editor that supports LSP:
- **VS Code**: Via the Storybook extension
- **Zed**: Via the zed-storybook extension
- **Other editors**: Any LSP-compatible editor
## Tree-sitter Grammar
A Tree-sitter grammar is provided for syntax highlighting and structural queries:
```
tree-sitter-storybook/
grammar.js # Grammar definition
src/ # Generated parser
```
The Tree-sitter grammar supports:
- Syntax highlighting in editors
- Structural code queries
- Incremental parsing for large files
## File Organization for Integration
Organize your project to support both authoring and runtime consumption:
```
my-game/
storybook/ # Storybook source files
schema/
core_enums.sb
templates.sb
beings.sb
world/
characters/
behaviors/
relationships/
assets/
narrative.sbir # Compiled output for runtime
src/
narrative_engine.rs # Runtime that consumes SBIR
```

# Best Practices
This chapter compiles best practices for writing clear, maintainable, and effective Storybook code. These guidelines apply across all declaration types and project sizes.
## Naming Conventions
### Declarations
Use **PascalCase** for all declaration names:
```storybook
character MasterBaker { } // Good
species DomesticCat { } // Good
behavior GuardPatrol { } // Good
character master_baker { } // Avoid
behavior guard-patrol { } // Invalid (no hyphens)
```
### Fields
Use **snake_case** for field names:
```storybook
character Martha {
skill_level: 0.95 // Good
emotional_state: focused // Good
years_experience: 22 // Good
skillLevel: 0.95 // Avoid (camelCase)
}
```
### Behavior Tree Labels
Use **snake_case** for node labels, with descriptive names:
```storybook
choose survival_instinct { // Good
then fight_response { } // Good
then flight_response { } // Good
}
choose s1 { // Avoid (meaningless)
then a { } // Avoid
}
```
### Enum Variants
Use **PascalCase** or **snake_case** consistently within an enum:
```storybook
// PascalCase (good for short names)
enum Size { Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge }
// snake_case (good for compound names)
enum GovernmentStyle {
absolute_tyranny,
constitutional_monarchy,
direct_democracy
}
```
## File Organization
### Separate Schema from World
Keep reusable type definitions separate from instance data:
```
project/
schema/ # Reusable across stories
core_enums.sb # Enum definitions
templates.sb # Template definitions
beings.sb # Species definitions
world/ # Specific to this story
characters/ # Character instances
behaviors/ # Behavior trees
relationships/ # Relationship instances
locations/ # Location instances
```
### One Concern per File
Group related declarations, but avoid putting unrelated things together:
```storybook
// characters/bakery_staff.sb - Good: related characters together
character Martha { }
character Jane { }
character Elena { }
// everything.sb - Avoid: everything in one file
character Martha { }
behavior BakeRoutine { }
schedule DailyRoutine { }
relationship Partnership { }
```
### Explicit Imports
Prefer explicit imports over wildcards:
```storybook
// Good: clear what is being used
use schema::core_enums::{SkillLevel, Specialty};
use schema::beings::Human;
// Avoid: unclear dependencies
use schema::core_enums::*;
use schema::beings::*;
```
## Character Design
### Use Species for Identity, Templates for Traits
```storybook
// Species: ontological identity
species Human { lifespan: 70 }
// Templates: compositional traits
template Warrior { strength: 10..20 }
template Scholar { intelligence: 15..20 }
// Character: combines identity and traits
character Aragorn: Human from Warrior {
strength: 18
}
```
### Document with Prose Blocks
```storybook
character Martha: Human {
age: 34
---backstory
Martha learned to bake from her grandmother, starting at
age twelve. She now runs the most popular bakery in town.
---
---personality
Meticulous and patient, with an unwavering commitment to
quality. Tough but fair with her staff.
---
}
```
### Prefer Flat Inheritance
Avoid deep species hierarchies. Two or three levels is usually enough:
```storybook
// Good: shallow
species Mammal { warm_blooded: true }
species Human includes Mammal { sapient: true }
// Avoid: too deep
species Being { }
species LivingBeing includes Being { }
species Animal includes LivingBeing { }
species Vertebrate includes Animal { }
species Mammal includes Vertebrate { }
species Human includes Mammal { }
```
## Behavior Tree Design
### Name Every Composite Node
```storybook
// Good: self-documenting
choose daily_priority {
then handle_emergency { }
then do_work { }
then relax { }
}
// Avoid: anonymous nodes
choose {
then { }
then { }
}
```
### Keep Trees Shallow
Extract deep subtrees into separate behaviors:
```storybook
// Good: flat with includes
behavior Main {
choose mode {
include CombatBehavior
include ExplorationBehavior
include SocialBehavior
}
}
// Avoid: deeply nested
behavior Main {
choose {
then { choose { then { choose { then { Action } } } } }
}
}
```
### Use Decorators for Control Flow
```storybook
// Good: decorator handles timing
cooldown(30s) { CastSpell }
timeout(10s) { SolvePuzzle }
retry(3) { PickLock }
// Avoid: manual timing in actions
CheckCooldownTimer
IfCooldownReady { CastSpell }
```
## Expression Writing
### Use Parentheses for Clarity
```storybook
// Good: explicit grouping
on (health < 50 or is_poisoned) and has_antidote -> healing
// Risky: relies on precedence knowledge
on health < 50 or is_poisoned and has_antidote -> healing
```
### Break Complex Conditions into Multiple Transitions
```storybook
// Good: separate transitions, easy to read
state combat {
on health < 20 and not has_potion -> desperate
on surrounded and not has_escape -> desperate
on enemy_count > 10 -> desperate
}
// Avoid: one massive condition
state combat {
on (health < 20 and not has_potion) or (surrounded and not has_escape) or enemy_count > 10 -> desperate
}
```
### Use `is` for Enum Comparisons
```storybook
// Good: reads naturally
on status is active -> active_state
on skill_level is master -> teach_others
// Works but less readable
on status == active -> active_state
```
## Schedule Design
### Use Named Blocks for Override Support
```storybook
// Good: named blocks can be overridden
schedule Base {
block work { 09:00 - 17:00, action: standard_work }
}
schedule Variant extends Base {
block work { 05:00 - 13:00, action: early_work }
}
```
### Group Related Blocks
```storybook
schedule DailyRoutine {
// Morning
block wake { 06:00 - 07:00, action: morning_routine }
block breakfast { 07:00 - 08:00, action: eat }
// Work
block commute { 08:00 - 09:00, action: travel }
block work { 09:00 - 17:00, action: work }
// Evening
block leisure { 18:00 - 22:00, action: relax }
block sleep { 22:00 - 06:00, action: sleep }
}
```
## Relationship Design
### Use Roles for Clarity
```storybook
// Good: roles clarify the relationship
relationship Marriage {
Martha as spouse
David as spouse
bond: 0.9
}
// Less clear without roles
relationship Marriage {
Martha
David
bond: 0.9
}
```
### Use Perspectives for Asymmetry
```storybook
// Good: captures different viewpoints
relationship TeacherStudent {
Gandalf as teacher self { patience: 0.8 } other { potential: 0.9 }
Frodo as student self { motivation: 0.7 } other { admiration: 0.95 }
bond: 0.85
}
```
## General Principles
1. **Readability over brevity**: Storybook code should read like a narrative, not a puzzle.
2. **Explicit over implicit**: Say what you mean. Use named nodes, explicit imports, and clear field names.
3. **Flat over deep**: Shallow hierarchies, short behavior trees, and focused files are easier to maintain.
4. **Composition over inheritance**: Prefer combining templates over building deep species hierarchies.
5. **Document with prose**: Prose blocks are a feature, not clutter. Use them to explain intent alongside data.
6. **One concept per declaration**: Each behavior tree, life arc, or schedule should have a single clear purpose.

<h1 id="design-patterns"><a class="header" href="#design-patterns">Design Patterns</a></h1>
<p>This chapter presents proven patterns for structuring Storybook projects. These patterns have emerged from building complex narrative simulations and represent best practices for maintainability, reuse, and clarity.</p>
<h2 id="behavior-tree-patterns"><a class="header" href="#behavior-tree-patterns">Behavior Tree Patterns</a></h2>
<h3 id="priority-fallback-chain"><a class="header" href="#priority-fallback-chain">Priority Fallback Chain</a></h3>
<p>Use a selector to try increasingly desperate options:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">behavior Survival {
choose survival_priority {
then optimal {
if(health &gt; 70 and has_supplies)
ProceedNormally
}
then cautious {
if(health &gt; 30)
ProceedCarefully
}
then desperate {
if(health &gt; 10)
SeekHelp
}
LastResortPanic
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>The tree naturally degrades: first tries the best option, then falls back through progressively worse alternatives.</p>
<h3 id="conditional-behavior-switching"><a class="header" href="#conditional-behavior-switching">Conditional Behavior Switching</a></h3>
<p>Use guards at the top level to switch between behavioral modes:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">behavior ModeSwitcher {
choose mode {
if(is_combat_mode) {
include CombatBehavior
}
if(is_exploration_mode) {
include ExplorationBehavior
}
if(is_social_mode) {
include SocialBehavior
}
include IdleBehavior
}
}
</code></pre>
<h3 id="composite-subtree-pattern"><a class="header" href="#composite-subtree-pattern">Composite Subtree Pattern</a></h3>
<p>Break complex behaviors into focused, reusable subtrees:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">// Atomic subtrees
behavior Navigate { then nav { PlanPath, FollowPath } }
behavior Interact { then talk { Approach, Greet, Converse } }
behavior Trade { then exchange { ShowGoods, Negotiate, Exchange } }
// Composed behavior
behavior Merchant_AI {
choose activity {
then serve_customer {
if(customer_present)
include Interact
include Trade
}
then travel_to_market {
if(is_market_day)
include Navigate
}
Idle
}
}
</code></pre>
<h3 id="repeating-patrol-with-interrupts"><a class="header" href="#repeating-patrol-with-interrupts">Repeating Patrol with Interrupts</a></h3>
<p>Use a repeating patrol that can be interrupted by higher-priority events:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">character Guard {
uses behaviors: [
{
tree: GuardCombat
when: threat_detected
priority: high
},
{
tree: GuardPatrol
priority: normal
}
]
}
behavior GuardPatrol {
repeat {
then patrol_loop {
MoveTo(destination: "Waypoint1")
WaitAndScan(duration: 5s)
MoveTo(destination: "Waypoint2")
WaitAndScan(duration: 5s)
}
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>The combat behavior preempts patrol when threats appear, then patrol resumes.</p>
<h2 id="character-architecture-patterns"><a class="header" href="#character-architecture-patterns">Character Architecture Patterns</a></h2>
<h3 id="species--templates-composition"><a class="header" href="#species--templates-composition">Species + Templates Composition</a></h3>
<p>Use species for identity and templates for capabilities:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">// Species: What they ARE
species Human { lifespan: 70 }
species Elf { lifespan: 1000 }
// Templates: What they HAVE
template Warrior { strength: 10..20, weapon_skill: 0.5..1.0 }
template Scholar { intelligence: 15..20, books_read: 50..500 }
template Leader { charisma: 12..18, followers: 5..50 }
// Characters: Combine both
character Aragorn: Human from Warrior, Leader {
strength: 18
charisma: 17
}
character Elrond: Elf from Scholar, Leader {
intelligence: 20
charisma: 18
}
</code></pre>
<h3 id="strict-templates-for-schema-enforcement"><a class="header" href="#strict-templates-for-schema-enforcement">Strict Templates for Schema Enforcement</a></h3>
<p>Use strict templates when you need controlled, uniform entities:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">template RecipeCard strict {
recipe_name: string
difficulty: Difficulty
prep_time_minutes: 10..180
}
// This works:
character SourdoughRecipe from RecipeCard {
recipe_name: "Classic Sourdough"
difficulty: intermediate
prep_time_minutes: 120
}
// This would error (extra field not allowed):
// character BadRecipe from RecipeCard {
// recipe_name: "Mystery Bread"
// difficulty: easy
// favorite_color: "blue" // Error!
// }
</code></pre>
<h3 id="template-inheritance-chains"><a class="header" href="#template-inheritance-chains">Template Inheritance Chains</a></h3>
<p>Build template hierarchies for progressive specialization:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">template Worker {
skill_level: 0.0..1.0
wage: 10..50
}
template SkilledWorker {
include Worker
specialization: "general"
tool_proficiency: 0.5..1.0
}
template MasterCraftsman {
include SkilledWorker
can_teach: true
reputation: 0.7..1.0
}
</code></pre>
<h2 id="relationship-patterns"><a class="header" href="#relationship-patterns">Relationship Patterns</a></h2>
<h3 id="bidirectional-perspective"><a class="header" href="#bidirectional-perspective">Bidirectional Perspective</a></h3>
<p>Model relationships where each side sees things differently:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">relationship MentorApprentice {
Master as mentor self {
patience: 0.7
investment_in_student: 0.9
} other {
sees_potential: 0.8
frustration_level: 0.3
}
Student as apprentice self {
dedication: 0.8
overwhelmed: 0.4
} other {
respect: 0.95
desire_to_impress: 0.9
}
bond: 0.75
years_together: 3
}
</code></pre>
<h3 id="power-dynamic-pattern"><a class="header" href="#power-dynamic-pattern">Power Dynamic Pattern</a></h3>
<p>Model unequal power relationships explicitly:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">relationship Vassalage {
King as lord self {
authority: 1.0
grants: "protection"
} other {
trusts_vassal: 0.6
}
Knight as vassal self {
loyalty: 0.9
ambition: 0.4
} other {
respects_lord: 0.8
fears_lord: 0.3
}
bond: 0.7
}
</code></pre>
<h3 id="relationship-network"><a class="header" href="#relationship-network">Relationship Network</a></h3>
<p>Build social graphs with multiple overlapping relationships:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">// Family
relationship BakerMarriage { Martha as spouse, David as spouse, bond: 0.9 }
relationship BakerParenting { Martha as parent, Tommy as child, bond: 0.95 }
// Professional
relationship BakerEmployment { Martha as employer, Elena as employee, bond: 0.8 }
relationship GuildMembership { Martha as member, BakersGuild as org }
// Social
relationship BakerFriendship { Martha, Neighbor, bond: 0.6 }
</code></pre>
<h2 id="schedule-patterns"><a class="header" href="#schedule-patterns">Schedule Patterns</a></h2>
<h3 id="base-schedule-with-specializations"><a class="header" href="#base-schedule-with-specializations">Base Schedule with Specializations</a></h3>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">schedule BaseWorker {
block work { 09:00 - 17:00, action: work::standard }
block lunch { 12:00 - 13:00, action: social::lunch }

schedule EarlyBird extends BaseWorker {

<h2 id="anti-patterns-to-avoid"><a class="header" href="#anti-patterns-to-avoid">Anti-Patterns to Avoid</a></h2>
<p><strong>Deep nesting</strong>: More than 4-5 levels of behavior tree nesting is hard to read. Use <code>include</code> to flatten.</p>
<p><strong>God behaviors</strong>: One massive behavior tree doing everything. Break it into focused subtrees.</p>
<p><strong>Deep species hierarchies</strong>: More than 2-3 levels of species <code>includes</code> is rarely needed. Use templates for variation.</p>
<p><strong>Duplicated logic</strong>: If two behaviors share logic, extract it into a shared subtree.</p>
<p><strong>Unnamed nodes</strong>: Always label composite nodes in behavior trees for readability.</p>

<h1 id="the-sbir-binary-format"><a class="header" href="#the-sbir-binary-format">The SBIR Binary Format</a></h1>
<p>SBIR (Storybook Intermediate Representation) is the compiled binary format produced by the Storybook compiler. It transforms human-readable <code>.sb</code> files into an optimized, machine-consumable format for simulation runtimes.</p>
<h2 id="compilation-pipeline"><a class="header" href="#compilation-pipeline">Compilation Pipeline</a></h2>
<pre><code>.sb files → Lexer → Parser → AST → Resolver → SBIR Binary
</code></pre>
<ol>
<li><strong>Lexer</strong>: Tokenizes raw text into tokens</li>
<li><strong>Parser</strong>: Builds an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) from tokens</li>
<li><strong>Resolver</strong>: Validates, resolves cross-references, merges templates, and produces SBIR</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="what-sbir-contains"><a class="header" href="#what-sbir-contains">What SBIR Contains</a></h2>
<p>SBIR represents the fully resolved state of a Storybook project:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Characters</strong>: All fields resolved (species + templates merged, overrides applied)</li>
<li><strong>Behaviors</strong>: Behavior trees with all subtree references inlined</li>
<li><strong>Life Arcs</strong>: State machines with validated transitions</li>
<li><strong>Schedules</strong>: Time blocks with resolved action references</li>
<li><strong>Relationships</strong>: Participants with resolved entity references</li>
<li><strong>Institutions</strong>: Fully resolved field sets</li>
<li><strong>Locations</strong>: Fully resolved field sets</li>
<li><strong>Species</strong>: Fully resolved inheritance chains</li>
<li><strong>Enums</strong>: Complete variant lists</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="resolution-process"><a class="header" href="#resolution-process">Resolution Process</a></h2>
<h3 id="template-merging"><a class="header" href="#template-merging">Template Merging</a></h3>
<p>When a character uses templates, SBIR contains the fully merged result:</p>
<p><strong>Source:</strong></p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">species Human { lifespan: 70, speed: 1.0 }
template Warrior { speed: 1.5, strength: 10 }
character Conan: Human from Warrior {
strength: 20
}
</code></pre>
<p><strong>In SBIR, Conan’s fields are:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><code>lifespan: 70</code> (from Human)</li>
<li><code>speed: 1.5</code> (Warrior overrides Human)</li>
<li><code>strength: 20</code> (Conan overrides Warrior)</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="cross-file-reference-resolution"><a class="header" href="#cross-file-reference-resolution">Cross-File Reference Resolution</a></h3>
<p>SBIR resolves all <code>use</code> statements and qualified paths. A relationship referencing <code>Martha</code> in a different file is resolved to the concrete character definition.</p>
<h3 id="validation"><a class="header" href="#validation">Validation</a></h3>
<p>Before producing SBIR, the resolver validates all constraints documented in <a href="../reference/19-validation.html">Validation Rules</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>All references resolve to defined declarations</li>
<li>No circular dependencies</li>
<li>Type consistency</li>
<li>Domain constraints (bond ranges, schedule validity)</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="design-goals"><a class="header" href="#design-goals">Design Goals</a></h2>
<p><strong>Compact</strong>: SBIR strips comments, whitespace, and redundant structure.</p>
<p><strong>Self-contained</strong>: No external references – everything is resolved and inlined.</p>
<p><strong>Fast to load</strong>: Simulation runtimes can load SBIR without re-parsing or re-resolving.</p>
<p><strong>Validated</strong>: If SBIR was produced, the source was valid. Runtimes do not need to re-validate.</p>
<h2 id="usage"><a class="header" href="#usage">Usage</a></h2>
<p>SBIR is consumed by simulation runtimes that drive character behavior, schedule execution, life arc transitions, and relationship queries. The specific binary format is implementation-defined and may evolve between versions.</p>
<p>For the current SBIR specification, see the <a href="../SBIR-v0.2.0-SPEC.html">SBIR v0.2.0 Spec</a>.</p>

<h1 id="integration-guide"><a class="header" href="#integration-guide">Integration Guide</a></h1>
<p>This chapter covers how to integrate Storybook into larger systems – game engines, simulation frameworks, and custom applications.</p>
<h2 id="architecture-overview"><a class="header" href="#architecture-overview">Architecture Overview</a></h2>
<p>Storybook operates in two phases:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Compile time</strong>: <code>.sb</code> files are parsed, validated, and compiled into SBIR</li>
<li><strong>Runtime</strong>: A simulation engine consumes SBIR and drives character behavior</li>
</ol>
<pre><code> Compile Time Runtime
.sb files → [Storybook Compiler] → SBIR → [Simulation Engine] → Character Actions
</code></pre>
<h2 id="the-storybook-compiler"><a class="header" href="#the-storybook-compiler">The Storybook Compiler</a></h2>
<p>The compiler is a Rust library and CLI tool that processes <code>.sb</code> files.</p>
<h3 id="cli-usage"><a class="header" href="#cli-usage">CLI Usage</a></h3>
<pre><code class="language-bash"># Compile a directory of .sb files
storybook compile path/to/project/
# Compile with output path
storybook compile path/to/project/ -o output.sbir
# Validate without producing output
storybook check path/to/project/
</code></pre>
<h3 id="as-a-library"><a class="header" href="#as-a-library">As a Library</a></h3>
<p>The compiler can be embedded as a Rust dependency:</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
</span>use storybook::syntax::parse_file;
use storybook::resolve::resolve_files;
// Parse .sb files into ASTs
let ast = parse_file(source_code)?;
// Resolve across multiple files
let resolved = resolve_files(vec![ast1, ast2, ast3])?;
// Access resolved data
for character in resolved.characters() {
println!("{}: {:?}", character.name, character.fields);
}
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
<h3 id="key-types"><a class="header" href="#key-types">Key Types</a></h3>
<p>The resolved output provides these primary types:</p>
<div class="table-wrapper"><table><thead><tr><th>Type</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody>
<tr><td><code>ResolvedFile</code></td><td>Container for all resolved declarations</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>ResolvedCharacter</code></td><td>Character with merged species/template fields</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>ResolvedBehavior</code></td><td>Behavior tree with resolved subtree references</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>ResolvedLifeArc</code></td><td>State machine with validated transitions</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>ResolvedSchedule</code></td><td>Schedule with resolved time blocks</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>ResolvedRelationship</code></td><td>Relationship with resolved participant references</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>ResolvedInstitution</code></td><td>Institution with resolved fields</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>ResolvedLocation</code></td><td>Location with resolved fields</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>ResolvedSpecies</code></td><td>Species with resolved includes chain</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>ResolvedEnum</code></td><td>Enum with variant list</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
<h2 id="runtime-integration"><a class="header" href="#runtime-integration">Runtime Integration</a></h2>
<h3 id="behavior-tree-execution"><a class="header" href="#behavior-tree-execution">Behavior Tree Execution</a></h3>
<p>Runtimes are responsible for:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Tick-based evaluation</strong>: Call the behavior tree root each frame/tick</li>
<li><strong>Action execution</strong>: Interpret action nodes (e.g., <code>MoveTo</code>, <code>Attack</code>)</li>
<li><strong>Condition evaluation</strong>: Evaluate expression nodes against current state</li>
<li><strong>Decorator state</strong>: Maintain timer/counter state for stateful decorators</li>
</ol>
<h3 id="life-arc-execution"><a class="header" href="#life-arc-execution">Life Arc Execution</a></h3>
<ol>
<li>Track the current state for each life arc instance</li>
<li>Evaluate transition conditions each tick</li>
<li>Execute on-enter actions when transitioning</li>
<li>Maintain state persistence across ticks</li>
</ol>
<h3 id="schedule-execution"><a class="header" href="#schedule-execution">Schedule Execution</a></h3>
<ol>
<li>Get the current simulation time</li>
<li>Find the matching schedule block (considering temporal constraints and recurrences)</li>
<li>Execute the associated behavior tree action</li>
</ol>
<h3 id="relationship-queries"><a class="header" href="#relationship-queries">Relationship Queries</a></h3>
<p>Provide APIs for querying the relationship graph:</p>
<ul>
<li>Find all relationships for a character</li>
<li>Get bond strength between two entities</li>
<li>Query perspective fields (self/other)</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="lsp-integration"><a class="header" href="#lsp-integration">LSP Integration</a></h2>
<p>Storybook includes a Language Server Protocol (LSP) implementation for editor support:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Hover information</strong>: Documentation for keywords and declarations</li>
<li><strong>Go to definition</strong>: Navigate to declaration sources</li>
<li><strong>Diagnostics</strong>: Real-time error reporting</li>
<li><strong>Completions</strong>: Context-aware suggestions</li>
</ul>
<p>The LSP server reuses the compiler’s parser and resolver, providing the same validation as the CLI.</p>
<h3 id="editor-setup"><a class="header" href="#editor-setup">Editor Setup</a></h3>
<p>The Storybook LSP works with any editor that supports LSP:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>VS Code</strong>: Via the Storybook extension</li>
<li><strong>Zed</strong>: Via the zed-storybook extension</li>
<li><strong>Other editors</strong>: Any LSP-compatible editor</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="tree-sitter-grammar"><a class="header" href="#tree-sitter-grammar">Tree-sitter Grammar</a></h2>
<p>A Tree-sitter grammar is provided for syntax highlighting and structural queries:</p>
<pre><code>tree-sitter-storybook/
grammar.js # Grammar definition
src/ # Generated parser
</code></pre>
<p>The Tree-sitter grammar supports:</p>
<ul>
<li>Syntax highlighting in editors</li>
<li>Structural code queries</li>
<li>Incremental parsing for large files</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="file-organization-for-integration"><a class="header" href="#file-organization-for-integration">File Organization for Integration</a></h2>
<p>Organize your project to support both authoring and runtime consumption:</p>
<pre><code>my-game/
storybook/ # Storybook source files
schema/
core_enums.sb
templates.sb
beings.sb
world/
characters/

<h1 id="best-practices"><a class="header" href="#best-practices">Best Practices</a></h1>
<p>This chapter compiles best practices for writing clear, maintainable, and effective Storybook code. These guidelines apply across all declaration types and project sizes.</p>
<h2 id="naming-conventions"><a class="header" href="#naming-conventions">Naming Conventions</a></h2>
<h3 id="declarations"><a class="header" href="#declarations">Declarations</a></h3>
<p>Use <strong>PascalCase</strong> for all declaration names:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">character MasterBaker { } // Good
species DomesticCat { } // Good
behavior GuardPatrol { } // Good
character master_baker { } // Avoid
behavior guard-patrol { } // Invalid (no hyphens)
</code></pre>
<h3 id="fields"><a class="header" href="#fields">Fields</a></h3>
<p>Use <strong>snake_case</strong> for field names:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">character Martha {
skill_level: 0.95 // Good
emotional_state: focused // Good
years_experience: 22 // Good
skillLevel: 0.95 // Avoid (camelCase)
}
</code></pre>
<h3 id="behavior-tree-labels"><a class="header" href="#behavior-tree-labels">Behavior Tree Labels</a></h3>
<p>Use <strong>snake_case</strong> for node labels, with descriptive names:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">choose survival_instinct { // Good
then fight_response { } // Good
then flight_response { } // Good
}
choose s1 { // Avoid (meaningless)
then a { } // Avoid
}
</code></pre>
<h3 id="enum-variants"><a class="header" href="#enum-variants">Enum Variants</a></h3>
<p>Use <strong>PascalCase</strong> or <strong>snake_case</strong> consistently within an enum:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">// PascalCase (good for short names)
enum Size { Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge }
// snake_case (good for compound names)
enum GovernmentStyle {
absolute_tyranny,
constitutional_monarchy,
direct_democracy
}
</code></pre>

<h3 id="separate-schema-from-world"><a class="header" href="#separate-schema-from-world">Separate Schema from World</a></h3>
<p>Keep reusable type definitions separate from instance data:</p>
<pre><code>project/

locations/ # Location instances
</code></pre>
<h3 id="one-concern-per-file"><a class="header" href="#one-concern-per-file">One Concern per File</a></h3>
<p>Group related declarations, but avoid putting unrelated things together:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">// characters/bakery_staff.sb - Good: related characters together
character Martha { }
character Jane { }

behavior BakeRoutine { }
schedule DailyRoutine { }
relationship Partnership { }
</code></pre>
<h3 id="explicit-imports"><a class="header" href="#explicit-imports">Explicit Imports</a></h3>
<p>Prefer explicit imports over wildcards:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">// Good: clear what is being used
use schema::core_enums::{SkillLevel, Specialty};
use schema::beings::Human;
// Avoid: unclear dependencies
use schema::core_enums::*;

<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Readability over brevity</strong>: Storybook code should read like a narrative, not a puzzle.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Explicit over implicit</strong>: Say what you mean. Use named nodes, explicit imports, and clear field names.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Flat over deep</strong>: Shallow hierarchies, short behavior trees, and focused files are easier to maintain.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Composition over inheritance</strong>: Prefer combining templates over building deep species hierarchies.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Document with prose</strong>: Prose blocks are a feature, not clutter. Use them to explain intent alongside data.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>One concept per declaration</strong>: Each behavior tree, life arc, or schedule should have a single clear purpose.</p>
</li>

<h2 id="key-takeaways"><a class="header" href="#key-takeaways">Key Takeaways</a></h2>
<p>This example demonstrates:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Schedule-driven daily flow</strong>: Precise time blocks govern Martha’s entire day</li>
<li><strong>Seasonal and weekly variations</strong>: Summer hours and Saturday market</li>
<li><strong>Layered behaviors</strong>: Emergency behavior preempts normal routine via priority</li>
<li><strong>Realistic action sequences</strong>: Baking modeled step by step with parameters</li>
<li><strong>Energy management</strong>: Life arc tracks fatigue affecting mood and output quality</li>
<li><strong>Social connections</strong>: Relationships with apprentice and customers add depth</li>

Saturday morning at Martha's bakery. The line stretches out

the smell of baking and the hum of conversation.

This is the bakery at its best and most stressful. Every
Saturday brings the regulars, the farmers' market overflow,

unnecessary.

who started a year ago is barely recognizable.

Gregory arrives at exactly 7:15 every Saturday. He buys

with other customers and unofficially managing the line.
He considers this his contribution to the bakery.

---perspective
Martha and Jane communicate without words during the rush.
A glance toward the display case means "we're running low."
A nod means "I'll handle it." Years of working side by side
have created an effortless rhythm.
---
}
Jane {
role: co_owner
coordination: 1.0

Jane trusts Martha's judgment completely during the Saturday
rush. If Martha signals, Jane reprioritizes. If Jane needs
oven time, Martha adjusts. They are two halves of a single
well-run kitchen.

Martha teaches her the fundamentals -- technique, discipline,
consistency. Jane shows her the creative side -- decoration,
presentation, flavor combinations. Together they are shaping
Elena into a complete baker.

Gregory {

The bakery is Gregory's third place -- not home, not the
library where he used to teach, but the warm space where
he belongs. He has watched Elena grow from a nervous girl
to a confident young woman. He is proud, though he would
never say so directly.

His exact-change payment and dry humor are a reliable

copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
(except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
as of the date such litigation is filed.
4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
meet the following conditions:
(a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
(b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that You changed the files; and
(c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works

pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
as modifying the License.
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
the conditions stated in this License.
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

Copyright 2010, 2012 Adobe Systems Incorporated (http://www.adobe.com/), with Reserved Font Name 'Source'. All Rights Reserved. Source is a trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated in the United States and/or other countries.
This Font Software is licensed under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1.
This license is copied below, and is also available with a FAQ at:

-----------------------------------------------------------
SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE Version 1.1 - 26 February 2007
-----------------------------------------------------------
PREAMBLE
The goals of the Open Font License (OFL) are to stimulate worldwide
development of collaborative font projects, to support the font creation
efforts of academic and linguistic communities, and to provide a free and
open framework in which fonts may be shared and improved in partnership
with others.
The OFL allows the licensed fonts to be used, studied, modified and
redistributed freely as long as they are not sold by themselves. The
fonts, including any derivative works, can be bundled, embedded,
redistributed and/or sold with any software provided that any reserved
names are not used by derivative works. The fonts and derivatives,
however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The
requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply
to any document created using the fonts or their derivatives.
DEFINITIONS
"Font Software" refers to the set of files released by the Copyright
Holder(s) under this license and clearly marked as such. This may
include source files, build scripts and documentation.
"Reserved Font Name" refers to any names specified as such after the
copyright statement(s).
"Original Version" refers to the collection of Font Software components as
distributed by the Copyright Holder(s).
"Modified Version" refers to any derivative made by adding to, deleting,
or substituting -- in part or in whole -- any of the components of the
Original Version, by changing formats or by porting the Font Software to a
new environment.
"Author" refers to any designer, engineer, programmer, technical
writer or other person who contributed to the Font Software.
PERMISSION & CONDITIONS
Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining
a copy of the Font Software, to use, study, copy, merge, embed, modify,
redistribute, and sell modified and unmodified copies of the Font
Software, subject to the following conditions:
1) Neither the Font Software nor any of its individual components,
in Original or Modified Versions, may be sold by itself.
2) Original or Modified Versions of the Font Software may be bundled,
redistributed and/or sold with any software, provided that each copy
contains the above copyright notice and this license. These can be
included either as stand-alone text files, human-readable headers or
in the appropriate machine-readable metadata fields within text or
binary files as long as those fields can be easily viewed by the user.
3) No Modified Version of the Font Software may use the Reserved Font
Name(s) unless explicit written permission is granted by the corresponding
Copyright Holder. This restriction only applies to the primary font name as
presented to the users.
4) The name(s) of the Copyright Holder(s) or the Author(s) of the Font
Software shall not be used to promote, endorse or advertise any
Modified Version, except to acknowledge the contribution(s) of the
Copyright Holder(s) and the Author(s) or with their explicit written
permission.
5) The Font Software, modified or unmodified, in part or in whole,
must be distributed entirely under this license, and must not be
distributed under any other license. The requirement for fonts to
remain under this license does not apply to any document created
using the Font Software.
TERMINATION
This license becomes null and void if any of the above conditions are
not met.
DISCLAIMER
THE FONT SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT
OF COPYRIGHT, PATENT, TRADEMARK, OR OTHER RIGHT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE
COPYRIGHT HOLDER BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL

<p><strong>Create rich narrative simulations through code that reads like stories.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Welcome to the complete guide for the Storybook narrative simulation language! Whether you’re a creative writer bringing characters to life or a developer building simulation systems, this documentation will help you master Storybook.</p>
<hr />
<p><strong>⚠️ Alpha Software Notice</strong></p>
<p>Storybook is currently in <strong>alpha</strong> and under active development at <a href="https://r3t.io">r3t Studios</a>. While the core language features are stable and ready to use, you should expect:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>New features</strong> to be added as we expand the language capabilities</li>
<li><strong>Minor syntax adjustments</strong> as we refine the design based on real-world usage</li>
<li><strong>API changes</strong> in the compiled output format as we optimize for game engine integration</li>
</ul>
<p>We’re committed to a thoughtful path toward version 1.0. Breaking changes will be clearly documented, and we’ll provide migration guides when syntax evolves. Your feedback during this alpha period is invaluable in shaping the language’s future!</p>
<hr />
<h2 id="what-is-storybook"><a class="header" href="#what-is-storybook">What is Storybook?</a></h2>
<p>Storybook is a <strong>compiled simulation language</strong> designed for <strong>open-world, autonomous game simulations</strong>. While it includes a basic embedded virtual machine for terminal-based debugging, it’s built to be integrated into game engines and developed hand-in-hand with technical game developers.</p>
<p>Storybook defines characters, behaviors, relationships, and narrative events for autonomous agents in dynamic worlds. It bridges the gap between storytelling and technical simulation through:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Readable syntax</strong> - Code that looks like natural descriptions, but compiles to efficient bytecode</li>
<li><strong>Named nodes</strong> - Behavior trees you can read as stories, that drive AI decision-making</li>
<li><strong>Prose blocks</strong> - Embed narrative directly in definitions for context-aware storytelling</li>
<li><strong>Rich semantics</strong> - From simple traits to complex state machines and schedules</li>
<li><strong>Game engine integration</strong> - Designed to power autonomous NPCs in Unity, Unreal, Godot, and custom engines</li>
</ul>

**`choose` - Selector Node**
Tries each child behavior in order until one succeeds.
**Behavior:**
- Evaluates children left-to-right
- Returns **success** on first successful child
- Skips remaining children after first success
- Returns **failure** only if all children fail
**Named nodes (optional):**
```storybook
choose state_dependent_action {
then appear { ... }
then confuse_alice { ... }
then fade_away { ... }
}
```
Labels make intent clear and aid debugging!
**Use cases:**
- Decision-making between alternatives
- Fallback chains (try A, if fails try B)
- Priority ordering (prefer A, accept B)

<blockquote>
<p><strong>The Storybook language enables narrative simulation through structured declarations of characters, behaviors, relationships, and events.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<h2 id="philosophy"><a class="header" href="#philosophy">Philosophy</a></h2>
<p>Storybook is a domain-specific language for narrative simulation, influenced by:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Rust</strong>: Strong typing, explicit declarations, and clear ownership semantics</li>
<li><strong>C#</strong>: Object-oriented patterns with declarative syntax</li>
<li><strong>Python</strong>: Readable, accessible syntax that prioritizes clarity</li>
</ul>
<p>The language balances <strong>technical precision</strong> with <strong>narrative expressiveness</strong>, making it accessible to storytellers while maintaining the rigor developers need.</p>
<h2 id="design-principles"><a class="header" href="#design-principles">Design Principles</a></h2>
<h3 id="1-code-as-narrative"><a class="header" href="#1-code-as-narrative">1. Code as Narrative</a></h3>
<p>Named nodes and prose blocks let code read like stories:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">behavior Baker_MorningRoutine {
choose daily_priority {
then prepare_sourdough { ... }
then serve_customers { ... }
then restock_display { ... }
}
}
</code></pre>
<h3 id="2-explicit-is-better-than-implicit"><a class="header" href="#2-explicit-is-better-than-implicit">2. Explicit is Better Than Implicit</a></h3>
<p>Every declaration is self-documenting:</p>
<ul>
<li>Character fields show what defines them</li>
<li>Behavior trees show decision structures</li>
<li>Relationships name their participants</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="3-progressive-disclosure"><a class="header" href="#3-progressive-disclosure">3. Progressive Disclosure</a></h3>
<p>Simple cases are simple, complex cases are possible:</p>
<ul>
<li>Basic characters need just a name and fields</li>
<li>Templates enable inheritance and reuse</li>
<li>Advanced features (state machines, decorators) available when needed</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="4-semantic-validation"><a class="header" href="#4-semantic-validation">4. Semantic Validation</a></h3>
<p>The compiler catches narrative errors:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bond values must be 0.0..1.0</li>
<li>Schedule blocks can’t overlap</li>
<li>Life arc transitions must reference valid states</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="language-structure"><a class="header" href="#language-structure">Language Structure</a></h2>
<h3 id="declaration-types"><a class="header" href="#declaration-types">Declaration Types</a></h3>
<p>Storybook has 10 top-level declaration types:</p>
<div class="table-wrapper"><table><thead><tr><th>Declaration</th><th>Purpose</th><th>Example</th></tr></thead><tbody>
<tr><td><code>character</code></td><td>Define entities with traits and behaviors</td><td>A baker with skills and schedule</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>template</code></td><td>Reusable patterns with ranges</td><td>A generic NPC template</td></tr>

<p><strong>Philosophy Note</strong>: Storybook treats narrative as data. Characters aren’t objects with methods - they’re <strong>declarations</strong> of traits, connected by <strong>behaviors</strong> and <strong>relationships</strong>. This separation enables rich analysis, modification, and simulation of narrative worlds.</p>

<p>Characters are the primary entities in Storybook—the people, creatures, and beings that inhabit your world. Each character has a set of attributes that define who they are, what they can do, and how they relate to the world around them.</p>

<h2 id="components"><a class="header" href="#components">Components</a></h2>
<h3 id="name"><a class="header" href="#name">Name</a></h3>
<p>The character’s identifier. Must be unique within its scope and follow standard identifier rules (alphanumeric + underscore, cannot start with digit).</p>
<h3 id="species-optional"><a class="header" href="#species-optional">Species (Optional)</a></h3>
<p>The species clause (<code>: SpeciesName</code>) defines what the character fundamentally <em>is</em>. This is distinct from templates, which define what attributes they <em>have</em>.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Purpose</strong>: Ontological typing—what kind of being this is</li>
<li><strong>Validation</strong>: Must reference a defined <code>species</code> declaration</li>
<li><strong>Single inheritance</strong>: A character can only have one species</li>
<li><strong>Default behavior</strong>: Species fields are inherited automatically</li>
</ul>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">character Martha: Human {
age: 34
}
</code></pre>
<h3 id="template-inheritance-optional"><a class="header" href="#template-inheritance-optional">Template Inheritance (Optional)</a></h3>
<p>The template clause (<code>from Template1, Template2</code>) specifies templates from which the character inherits fields. Templates provide reusable attribute sets.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Purpose</strong>: Compositional inheritance—mix-and-match capabilities and traits</li>
<li><strong>Multiple inheritance</strong>: Characters can inherit from multiple templates</li>
<li><strong>Merge semantics</strong>: Fields from later templates override earlier ones</li>
<li><strong>Override allowed</strong>: Character fields override all inherited fields</li>
</ul>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">character Martha: Human from Baker, BusinessOwner {
specialty: "sourdough"
}
</code></pre>
<h3 id="fields"><a class="header" href="#fields">Fields</a></h3>
<p>Fields define the character’s attributes using the standard field syntax. All <a href="./18-value-types.html">value types</a> are supported.</p>
<p><strong>Common field categories:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Physical traits</strong>: <code>height</code>, <code>weight</code>, <code>age</code>, <code>eye_color</code></li>
<li><strong>Personality</strong>: <code>confidence</code>, <code>patience</code>, <code>dedication</code></li>
<li><strong>Professional</strong>: <code>skill_level</code>, <code>specialty</code>, <code>recipes_mastered</code></li>
<li><strong>State tracking</strong>: <code>energy</code>, <code>mood</code>, <code>orders_today</code></li>
<li><strong>Capabilities</strong>: <code>can_teach</code>, <code>can_work_independently</code></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="prose-blocks"><a class="header" href="#prose-blocks">Prose Blocks</a></h3>
<p>Characters can contain multiple prose blocks for narrative content. Common tags:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>---backstory</code>: Character history and origin</li>
<li><code>---appearance</code>: Physical description</li>
<li><code>---personality</code>: Behavioral traits and quirks</li>
<li><code>---motivation</code>: Goals and desires</li>
<li><code>---secrets</code>: Hidden information</li>
</ul>
<p>Prose blocks are narrative-only and do not affect simulation logic.</p>
<h3 id="behavior-integration"><a class="header" href="#behavior-integration">Behavior Integration</a></h3>
<p>Characters can link to <a href="./14-behavior-trees.html">behavior trees</a> using the <code>uses behaviors</code> clause.</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">character Guard {
uses behaviors: [
{
tree: combat::patrol_route
priority: normal
},
{
tree: combat::engage_intruder
when: threat_detected
priority: high
}
]
}
</code></pre>
<p>Each behavior link includes:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><code>tree</code></strong>: Qualified path to the behavior tree (required)</li>
<li><strong><code>when</code></strong>: Condition expression for activation (optional)</li>
<li><strong><code>priority</code></strong>: Execution priority (optional, default: <code>normal</code>)</li>
</ul>
<p>See <a href="./11-behavior-trees.html">Behavior Trees</a> for details on behavior tree syntax and semantics.</p>
<h3 id="schedule-integration"><a class="header" href="#schedule-integration">Schedule Integration</a></h3>
<p>Characters can follow <a href="./16-schedules.html">schedules</a> using the <code>uses schedule</code> or <code>uses schedules</code> clause.</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">character Baker {
uses schedule: BakerySchedule
}
character Innkeeper {
uses schedules: [WeekdaySchedule, WeekendSchedule]
}
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Single schedule: <code>uses schedule: ScheduleName</code></li>
<li>Multiple schedules: <code>uses schedules: [Schedule1, Schedule2]</code></li>
</ul>
<p>The runtime selects the appropriate schedule based on temporal constraints. See <a href="./14-schedules.html">Schedules</a> for composition and selection semantics.</p>
<h2 id="species-vs-templates"><a class="header" href="#species-vs-templates">Species vs. Templates</a></h2>
<p>The distinction between species (<code>:</code>) and templates (<code>from</code>) reflects ontological vs. compositional typing:</p>
<div class="table-wrapper"><table><thead><tr><th>Feature</th><th>Species (<code>:</code>)</th><th>Templates (<code>from</code>)</th></tr></thead><tbody>
<tr><td><strong>Semantics</strong></td><td>What the character <em>is</em></td><td>What the character <em>has</em></td></tr>
<tr><td><strong>Cardinality</strong></td><td>Exactly one</td><td>Zero or more</td></tr>
<tr><td><strong>Example</strong></td><td><code>: Human</code>, <code>: Dragon</code></td><td><code>from Warrior, Mage</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><strong>Purpose</strong></td><td>Fundamental nature</td><td>Reusable trait sets</td></tr>
<tr><td><strong>Override</strong></td><td>Can override species fields</td><td>Can override template fields</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
<p>Example showing both:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">species Dragon {
max_lifespan: 1000
can_fly: true
}
template Hoarder {
treasure_value: 0..1000000
greed_level: 0.0..1.0
}
template Ancient {
age: 500..1000
wisdom: 0.8..1.0
}
character Smaug: Dragon from Hoarder, Ancient {
age: 850
treasure_value: 500000
greed_level: 0.95
}
</code></pre>
<h2 id="field-resolution-order"><a class="header" href="#field-resolution-order">Field Resolution Order</a></h2>
<p>When a character inherits from species and templates, fields are resolved in this order (later overrides earlier):</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Species fields</strong> (base ontology)</li>
<li><strong>Template fields</strong> (left to right in <code>from</code> clause)</li>
<li><strong>Character fields</strong> (highest priority)</li>
</ol>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">species Human {
lifespan: 80
speed: 1.0
}
template Warrior {
speed: 1.5
strength: 10
}
template Berserker {
speed: 2.0
strength: 15
}
character Conan: Human from Warrior, Berserker {
strength: 20
}
// Resolved fields:
// lifespan: 80 (from Human)
// speed: 2.0 (Berserker overrides Warrior overrides Human)
// strength: 20 (character overrides Berserker)
</code></pre>
<h2 id="validation-rules"><a class="header" href="#validation-rules">Validation Rules</a></h2>
<p>The Storybook compiler enforces these validation rules:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Unique names</strong>: Character names must be unique within their module</li>
<li><strong>Species exists</strong>: If specified, the species must reference a defined <code>species</code> declaration</li>
<li><strong>Templates exist</strong>: All templates in the <code>from</code> clause must reference defined <code>template</code> declarations</li>
<li><strong>No circular inheritance</strong>: Templates cannot form circular dependency chains</li>
<li><strong>Field type consistency</strong>: Field values must match expected types from species/templates</li>
<li><strong>Reserved fields</strong>: Cannot use reserved keywords as field names</li>
<li><strong>Behavior trees exist</strong>: All behavior tree references must resolve to defined <code>behavior</code> declarations</li>
<li><strong>Schedules exist</strong>: All schedule references must resolve to defined <code>schedule</code> declarations</li>
<li><strong>Prose tag uniqueness</strong>: Each prose tag can appear at most once per character</li>
</ol>

<h1 id="behavior-trees"><a class="header" href="#behavior-trees">Behavior Trees</a></h1>
<p>Behavior trees define the decision-making logic for characters, institutions, and other entities. They model how an entity chooses actions, responds to conditions, and adapts to its environment. Storybook uses behavior trees for character AI, NPC routines, and complex reactive behavior.</p>
<h2 id="what-is-a-behavior-tree"><a class="header" href="#what-is-a-behavior-tree">What is a Behavior Tree?</a></h2>
<p>A behavior tree is a hierarchical structure that executes from root to leaves, making decisions based on success/failure of child nodes:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Composite nodes</strong> (choose, then) have multiple children and control flow</li>
<li><strong>Condition nodes</strong> (if, when) test predicates</li>
<li><strong>Action nodes</strong> execute concrete behaviors</li>
<li><strong>Decorator nodes</strong> (repeat, invert, timeout, etc.) modify child behavior</li>
<li><strong>Subtree nodes</strong> (include) reference other behavior trees</li>
</ul>
<p>Behavior trees are evaluated every tick (frame), flowing through the tree from root to leaves until a node returns success or failure.</p>

<h1 id="decorators"><a class="header" href="#decorators">Decorators</a></h1>
<p>Decorators are special nodes that wrap a single child and modify its execution behavior. They enable timing control, retry logic, conditional execution, and result inversion without modifying the child node itself.</p>
<h2 id="what-are-decorators"><a class="header" href="#what-are-decorators">What Are Decorators?</a></h2>
<p>Decorators sit between a parent and child node, transforming the child’s behavior:</p>
<pre><code>Parent
└─ Decorator
└─ Child
</code></pre>
<p>The decorator intercepts the child’s execution, potentially:</p>
<ul>
<li>Repeating it multiple times</li>
<li>Timing it out</li>
<li>Inverting its result</li>
<li>Guarding its execution</li>
<li>Forcing a specific result</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="decorator-types"><a class="header" href="#decorator-types">Decorator Types</a></h2>
<p>Storybook provides 10 decorator types:</p>
<div class="table-wrapper"><table><thead><tr><th>Decorator</th><th>Purpose</th><th>Example</th></tr></thead><tbody>
<tr><td><code>repeat</code></td><td>Loop infinitely</td><td><code>repeat { Patrol }</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code>repeat(N)</code></td><td>Loop N times</td><td><code>repeat(3) { Check }</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code>repeat(min..max)</code></td><td>Loop min to max times</td><td><code>repeat(2..5) { Search }</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code>invert</code></td><td>Flip success/failure</td><td><code>invert { IsEnemy }</code></td></tr>

<p><strong>Notes:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Timer starts when decorator is first entered</li>
<li>Timer resets if decorator exits and re-enters</li>
<li>Child node should handle interruption gracefully</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="cooldown-decorator"><a class="header" href="#cooldown-decorator">Cooldown Decorator</a></h2>
<p>Prevents the child from running more than once per cooldown period. Fails immediately if called within cooldown.</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">behavior SpecialAbility {

<li>Cooldown timers are per-entity (not global)</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="if-decorator"><a class="header" href="#if-decorator">If Decorator</a></h2>
<p>Only runs the child if the condition is true. Fails immediately if condition is false.</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">behavior ConditionalAttack {
if(health &gt; 50) {
AggressiveAttack
}
}
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Execution:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Evaluate condition expression</li>
<li>If true → run child and return its result</li>
<li>If false → return failure (do not run child)</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Use cases:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Preconditions (“only if X”)</li>
<li>Resource checks (“only if have mana”)</li>
<li>Safety checks (“only if safe”)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Expression syntax:</strong>
See <a href="./17-expressions.html">Expression Language</a> for complete syntax.</p>
<p><strong>Examples:</strong></p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">behavior GuardedActions {
choose options {
// Only attack if have weapon and enemy close
if(has_weapon and distance &lt; 10) {
Attack
}
// Only heal if health below 50%
if(health &lt; (max_health * 0.5)) {
Heal
}
// Only flee if outnumbered
if(enemy_count &gt; ally_count) {
Flee
}
}
}
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Comparison with bare <code>if</code> conditions:</strong></p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">// Using bare 'if' condition (checks every tick, no body)
then approach_and_attack {
if(enemy_nearby)
Approach
Attack
}
// Using 'if' decorator with body (precondition check, fails fast)
if(enemy_nearby) {
then do_attack {
Approach
Attack
}

</code></pre>
<p>The <code>if</code> decorator with a body is more efficient for gating expensive subtrees.</p>
<h2 id="force-result-decorators"><a class="header" href="#force-result-decorators">Force Result Decorators</a></h2>
<h3 id="succeed_always"><a class="header" href="#succeed_always"><code>succeed_always</code></a></h3>

<h1 id="life-arcs"><a class="header" href="#life-arcs">Life Arcs</a></h1>
<p>Life arcs are state machines that model how characters or other entities evolve over time. They define discrete states and the conditions under which an entity transitions between states. Life arcs capture character development, quest progress, relationship phases, and any other finite-state processes.</p>
<h2 id="what-is-a-life-arc"><a class="header" href="#what-is-a-life-arc">What is a Life Arc?</a></h2>
<p>A life arc is a finite state machine (FSM) composed of:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>States</strong>: Discrete phases or modes (e.g., “happy”, “angry”, “sleeping”)</li>
<li><strong>Transitions</strong>: Conditional edges between states (e.g., “when health &lt; 20, go to ‘fleeing’”)</li>
<li><strong>On-enter actions</strong>: Field updates that occur when entering a state</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>[State A] --condition--&gt; [State B] --condition--&gt; [State C]
| | |
on enter on enter on enter
(set fields) (set fields) (set fields)
</code></pre>
<p>Life arcs run continuously, evaluating transitions every tick and moving between states as conditions become true.</p>

<h1 id="schedules"><a class="header" href="#schedules">Schedules</a></h1>
<p>Schedules define time-based routines for characters and institutions. They specify what activities occur during specific time ranges, support seasonal variations, recurring events, and template composition. Schedules enable rich temporal behavior from simple daily routines to complex year-long patterns.</p>
<h2 id="what-is-a-schedule"><a class="header" href="#what-is-a-schedule">What is a Schedule?</a></h2>
<p>A schedule is a collection of time blocks that define activities throughout a day, week, season, or year:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Blocks</strong>: Time ranges (e.g., <code>06:00 - 14:00</code>) with associated activities/behaviors</li>
<li><strong>Temporal constraints</strong>: When blocks apply (season, day of week, month)</li>
<li><strong>Recurrence patterns</strong>: Repeating events (e.g., “Market Day every Earthday”)</li>
<li><strong>Composition</strong>: Schedules can extend and override other schedules</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>Schedule: BakerySchedule
├─ Block: 06:00 - 08:00 → prepare_dough
├─ Block: 08:00 - 14:00 → serve_customers
├─ Recurrence: Market Day (on Earthday) → special_market_hours
└─ Extends: BaseBusiness (inherits closing hours)

<h3 id="time-based-selection"><a class="header" href="#time-based-selection">Time-Based Selection</a></h3>
<p>At any given time, the runtime:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Evaluates temporal constraints</strong>: Which blocks apply right now?</li>
<li><strong>Selects matching block</strong>: First block whose time range and constraint match</li>
<li><strong>Executes action</strong>: Runs the associated behavior tree</li>
<li><strong>Repeats next tick</strong></li>
</ol>
<h3 id="priority-order"><a class="header" href="#priority-order">Priority Order</a></h3>
<p>When multiple blocks could apply:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Recurrences</strong> take priority over regular blocks</li>
<li><strong>Constraints</strong> filter blocks (season, day, month)</li>
<li><strong>Time ranges</strong> must overlap current time</li>
<li><strong>First match</strong> wins (declaration order)</li>
</ol>
<h3 id="block-overlap"><a class="header" href="#block-overlap">Block Overlap</a></h3>
<p>Blocks can overlap in time. The runtime selects the first matching block.</p>
<p><strong>Example:</strong></p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">schedule Overlapping {

action: work::general
}
block specialized {
10:00 - 12:00 // Overlaps with general
action: work::specialized

}
}
</code></pre>
<p>On Wednesday at 11:00, <code>specialized</code> block is selected (more specific constraint).</p>
<h2 id="validation-rules"><a class="header" href="#validation-rules">Validation Rules</a></h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Time format</strong>: Times must be valid HH:MM or HH:MM:SS (24-hour)</li>
<li><strong>Time order</strong>: Start time must be before end time (unless spanning midnight)</li>
<li><strong>Extends exists</strong>: If using <code>extends</code>, base schedule must be defined</li>
<li><strong>No circular extends</strong>: Cannot form circular dependency chains</li>
<li><strong>Named blocks unique</strong>: Block names must be unique within a schedule</li>
<li><strong>Action exists</strong>: Action references must resolve to defined behaviors</li>
<li><strong>Constraint values</strong>: Temporal constraint values must reference defined enums</li>
<li><strong>Recurrence names unique</strong>: Recurrence names must be unique within a schedule</li>

<p>Relationships define connections between characters, institutions, and other entities. They capture social bonds, power dynamics, emotional ties, and interactive patterns. Relationships can be symmetric (friendship) or asymmetric (parent-child), and support bidirectional perspectives where each participant has different fields.</p>
<h2 id="what-is-a-relationship"><a class="header" href="#what-is-a-relationship">What is a Relationship?</a></h2>
<p>A relationship connects two or more participants and describes:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Participants</strong>: The entities involved (characters, institutions)</li>
<li><strong>Roles</strong>: Optional labels (parent, employer, spouse)</li>
<li><strong>Shared fields</strong>: Properties of the relationship itself (bond strength, duration)</li>
<li><strong>Perspective fields</strong>: How each participant views the relationship (<code>self</code>/<code>other</code> blocks)</li>
</ul>

<h1 id="locations"><a class="header" href="#locations">Locations</a></h1>
<p>Locations define places in your world – rooms, buildings, cities, landscapes, or abstract spaces. They provide spatial context for characters, events, and narratives.</p>
<hr />
<h2 id="syntax"><a class="header" href="#syntax">Syntax</a></h2>
<pre><code class="language-bnf">&lt;location-decl&gt; ::= "location" &lt;identifier&gt; "{" &lt;field&gt;* &lt;prose-block&gt;* "}"
</code></pre>
<p>A location declaration consists of:</p>
<ul>
<li>The <code>location</code> keyword</li>
<li>A unique name (identifier)</li>
<li>A body block containing fields and optional prose blocks</li>
</ul>
<p>Locations are one of the simpler declaration types – they hold fields and prose blocks but do not support resource linking (<code>uses behaviors</code> / <code>uses schedule</code>) like characters or institutions.</p>
<hr />
<h2 id="basic-location"><a class="header" href="#basic-location">Basic Location</a></h2>
<p>The simplest location has a name and descriptive fields:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">location BakersBakery {
type: bakery
capacity: 30
address: "14 Main Street"
open_hours: "06:00-18:00"
}
</code></pre>
<p>Fields can use any <a href="./18-value-types.html">value type</a>: integers, floats, strings, booleans, enums, lists, ranges, and durations.</p>
<hr />
<h2 id="fields"><a class="header" href="#fields">Fields</a></h2>
<p>Location fields describe properties of the place:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">location BakerHome {
type: residence
bedrooms: 3
has_garden: true
garden_size_sqft: 450.0
residents: ["Martha", "David", "Jane"]
comfort_level: 0.85
}
</code></pre>
<h3 id="common-field-patterns"><a class="header" href="#common-field-patterns">Common Field Patterns</a></h3>
<div class="table-wrapper"><table><thead><tr><th>Field</th><th>Type</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody>
<tr><td><code>type</code></td><td>enum/identifier</td><td>Category of the place</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>capacity</code></td><td>integer</td><td>How many can be in this place</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>size</code></td><td>enum/float</td><td>Physical size</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>coordinates</code></td><td>integer/float</td><td>Position in a world map</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>accessible</code></td><td>boolean</td><td>Whether characters can enter</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
<p>These are conventions, not enforced schema. You define whatever fields are meaningful for your world.</p>
<hr />
<h2 id="prose-blocks"><a class="header" href="#prose-blocks">Prose Blocks</a></h2>
<p>Locations support prose blocks for rich narrative content. Prose blocks are delimited by <code>---tag</code> markers:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">location BakersBakery {
type: bakery
capacity: 30
---description
A warm, inviting bakery on Main Street. The smell of fresh bread
wafts out the door every morning at dawn. Martha has run the shop
for fifteen years, and the locals consider it the heart of the
neighborhood.
---
---atmosphere
Flour dust catches the light from tall windows. A display case
holds rows of golden pastries. Behind the counter, the kitchen
hums with activity from 4 AM onward.
---
}
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Prose block rules:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Start with <code>---tag_name</code> on its own line</li>
<li>Content is free-form text (Markdown supported)</li>
<li>End with <code>---</code> on its own line</li>
<li>The tag name becomes the key for retrieval</li>
<li>Multiple prose blocks per location are allowed</li>
<li>Each tag must be unique within the location</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h2 id="ranges"><a class="header" href="#ranges">Ranges</a></h2>
<p>Locations can use range values for procedural variation:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">location MarketSquare {
type: outdoor_market
stalls: 10..25
daily_visitors: 50..200
noise_level: 0.4..0.9
}
</code></pre>
<p>When instantiated, values are selected from within the specified range. This is useful for locations that should vary across simulation runs.</p>
<hr />
<h2 id="lists"><a class="header" href="#lists">Lists</a></h2>
<p>Locations can hold list values:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">location BakersBakery {
type: bakery
products: ["sourdough", "croissants", "rye bread", "cinnamon rolls"]
equipment: ["stone oven", "mixing station", "proofing cabinet"]
}
</code></pre>
<hr />
<h2 id="referencing-other-entities"><a class="header" href="#referencing-other-entities">Referencing Other Entities</a></h2>
<p>Location fields can reference other declarations by name:</p>
<pre><code class="language-storybook">location BakersBakery {
type: bakery
owner: Martha
neighborhood: MainStreet
part_of: TownCenter
}
</code></pre>
<p>These are identifier references – they are not validated as cross-references at parse time, but the resolver checks that referenced names exist in the name table.</p>

<h1 id="expression-language"><a class="header" href="#expression-language">Expression Language</a></h1>
<p>The Storybook expression language enables conditions, queries, and logic throughout the system. Expressions appear in life arc transitions, behavior tree guards, decorator conditions, and relationship queries. This chapter provides a complete reference for expression syntax and semantics.</p>
<h2 id="what-are-expressions"><a class="header" href="#what-are-expressions">What are Expressions?</a></h2>
<p>Expressions are logical statements that evaluate to <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>. They combine:</p>

<li><strong>Literals</strong>: Numbers, strings, booleans</li>
<li><strong>Identifiers</strong>: References to fields and entities</li>
<li><strong>Comparisons</strong>: <code>==</code>, <code>!=</code>, <code>&lt;</code>, <code>&lt;=</code>, <code>&gt;</code>, <code>&gt;=</code></li>
<li><strong>Logical operators</strong>: <code>and</code>, <code>or</code>, <code>not</code></li>
<li><strong>Field access</strong>: <code>self.field</code>, <code>other.field</code></li>
<li><strong>Quantifiers</strong>: <code>forall</code>, <code>exists</code> (for collections)</li>

<ol>
<li><strong>Type consistency</strong>: Both sides of comparison must be compatible types</li>
<li><strong>Boolean context</strong>: Logical operators (<code>and</code>, <code>or</code>, <code>not</code>) require boolean operands</li>
<li><strong>Field existence</strong>: Referenced fields must exist on the entity</li>
<li><strong>Collection validity</strong>: Quantifiers require collection-typed expressions</li>
<li><strong>Variable scope</strong>: Quantifier variables only valid within their predicate</li>

<h1 id="validation-rules"><a class="header" href="#validation-rules">Validation Rules</a></h1>
<p>The Storybook compiler performs multi-layered validation to catch errors before runtime. This chapter documents all validation rules, organized by declaration type, along with the error messages you can expect and how to fix them.</p>
<h2 id="validation-layers"><a class="header" href="#validation-layers">Validation Layers</a></h2>
<p>Storybook validation happens in four stages:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Lexical</strong>: Tokenization of raw text (invalid characters, malformed literals)</li>
<li><strong>Syntactic</strong>: Grammar structure (missing braces, wrong keyword order)</li>
<li><strong>Semantic</strong>: Cross-reference resolution, type checking, field merging</li>
<li><strong>Domain</strong>: Narrative-specific constraints (bond ranges, schedule overlaps)</li>
</ol>
<p>Errors at earlier stages prevent later stages from running.</p>
