# Baker Family Example
A comprehensive example demonstrating Storybook v0.3.0 features through a realistic multi-character scenario.
A comprehensive example demonstrating Storybook v0.3.0 features through a realistic multi-character scenario with relationships, locations, institutions, and advanced type system usage.
## Characters
| Character | Age | Role | Template |
|-----------|-----|------|----------|
| Martha | 34 | Master baker, business co-owner | Baker |
| Jane | 36 | Pastry chef, Martha's wife, co-owner | Baker |
| Emma | 12 | Their daughter, science enthusiast | Child |
| Henry | 68 | Retired teacher, loyal customer | Person |
| Roland | 42 | Competing baker from next town | Baker |
Martha and Jane are a married couple who co-run the bakery. Emma is their daughter. Henry and Roland are community members connected to the family through the bakery.
## Features Demonstrated
### Type System (NEW in v0.3.0)
### Type System (v0.3.0)
- **Species definitions**: `species Human { ... }` provides default fields for all human characters
- **Species-based templates**: `template Person: Human { ... }` inherits species fields as base layer
- **Concepts and sub-concepts**: `concept BakedGood` with `sub_concept BakedGood.Category { Bread, Pastry, Cake }`
- **Sub-concept dot notation**: Parent.Name format for clear ownership
- **Concept comparisons**: Compile-time pattern matching for concept variants
- **Concept comparisons**: `SkillLevel` maps skill tiers to quality expectations
- **Life arc requirements**: `life_arc BakerCareer requires { baking_skill: Number }` for compile-time validation
### Relationships
- **Marriage**: Martha and Jane, a lesbian couple with asymmetric bakery roles
- **Parent-Child**: Martha-Emma and Jane-Emma with different parenting styles
- **Business Partnership**: Martha and Jane co-owning and co-running the bakery
- **Customer Relationship**: Martha and Henry (daily loyalty)
- **Competition**: Martha and Roland (rival bakers)
- **Asymmetric perspectives**: Each participant has role-specific fields
### Locations
- **MarthasBakery**: Detailed shop with prose description, capacity, hours
- **MainStreet**: Town thoroughfare connecting market and school
### Institutions
- **BakersGuild**: Trade guild with membership, meetings, and governance
### Life Arcs
- **BakerCareer**: Apprentice -> Journeyman -> Master (skill-based progression)
- **Childhood**: Young child -> School age -> Teenager -> Adult (age-based)
- **MarriageQuality**: Newlywed -> Established -> Deep bond (relationship arc)
- **BusinessGrowth**: Starting out -> Growing -> Thriving (business arc)
### Resource Linking
- **Templates with behaviors**: `Baker` template specifies `BakingSkills` and `CustomerService`
- **Templates with schedules**: `Baker` template uses `BakerSchedule`

## Concept Comparison: SkillLevel
Maps baking skill tiers to quality expectations:
- **Apprentice**: Any freshness level acceptable while learning
- **Journeyman**: Any freshness level expected as standard
- **Master**: Must produce fresh goods to meet the standard
## Key Integration Points
1. **Martha (character)** -> inherits from **Baker (template)** -> inherits from **Human (species)**
- Gets default fields from Human species (age, energy, mood, occupation)
- Gets behaviors: `BakingSkills`, `CustomerService`, `BasicNeeds`, `SocialInteraction`
- Gets schedule: `BakerSchedule` (which extends `WorkWeek`)
- Has `skill_tier: Master` for concept comparison mapping
2. **BakerSchedule (schedule)** -> references **BakingWork (behavior)**
- `action: BakingWork` in the work block
- Creates link between scheduling and behavior systems
2. **Relationships** -> connect characters with asymmetric perspectives
- Martha and Jane's Marriage and BusinessPartnership show the same couple in different roles
- Each participant has role-specific fields
- Competition relationship shows non-familial connections
3. **Template chain** -> cascading resource inheritance with species base
- `Human` species provides defaults
- `Baker` includes `Worker` includes `Person: Human`
- All behaviors, schedules, and fields flow down the hierarchy
3. **Locations** -> provide narrative context with prose descriptions
- `MarthasBakery` is referenced by schedules and behaviors
- `MainStreet` connects the bakery to the wider community
4. **Life arcs** -> compile-time field requirement validation
- `BakerCareer` requires `baking_skill` and `work_ethic` fields
- Any character using this life arc must have these fields
4. **Life arcs** -> track progression across multiple dimensions
- Career (BakerCareer), personal growth (Childhood)
- Relationship quality (MarriageQuality), business success (BusinessGrowth)
## Usage
@@ -117,6 +193,8 @@ This example shows how to:
- Use concepts and sub-concepts for type-safe enumerations
- Create concept comparisons for compile-time pattern matching
- Define life arcs with field requirements for validation
- Model relationships with asymmetric participant perspectives
- Create locations and institutions with prose descriptions
- Compose schedules through inheritance and overrides
- Link schedules to behaviors through action references
- Model realistic daily routines with time-of-day variations

he arrives for a sourdough loaf and a chat.
He watched Emma grow up and occasionally helps her with her homework
when he stops by. The bakery is his anchor to the community now that
he no longer teaches. Martha always sets aside his favorite loaf,
and Jane saves him a croissant on Saturdays.

Roland runs a bakery in the neighboring town. He learned baking from
his father and considers himself the rightful best baker in the region.
His rye bread is excellent, but he lacks Martha's warmth with customers
and Jane's artistic flair.
He sees Martha's bakery as his chief competition and often tries to
undercut her prices at the market. Despite the rivalry, there is a
grudging respect between them. Roland once admitted, after too much
ale at the harvest festival, that Martha's sourdough was better than
his own.

apprenticeship standards, and preparations for seasonal festivals.

room has a long wooden counter built from reclaimed oak, with glass
display cases showing the day's offerings. Behind it, the kitchen
holds two large brick ovens, a prep area with marble counters, and
shelves lined with flour, sugar, and spices.
The smell of fresh bread seeps out through the door from before dawn,
