feat: Add complete AI prompt system for scenario development (Stages 0-7)
Add comprehensive prompts for all 9 stages of Break Escape scenario development: - Stage 0: Scenario Initialization - Technical challenges and narrative themes - Stage 1: Narrative Structure - Three-act story arc development - Stage 2: Storytelling Elements - Characters, atmosphere, dialogue - Stage 3: Moral Choices - Player agency and ethical decisions - Stage 4: Player Objectives - Goals and win conditions - Stage 5: Room Layout - Physical design with technical constraints - Stage 6: LORE Fragments - Collectible universe-building content - Stage 7: Ink Scripting - Interactive dialogue and cutscenes These prompts guide AI agents (or human designers) through a structured process to create complete, validated Break Escape scenarios that combine cybersecurity education with compelling narrative gameplay. Each prompt includes: - Role definition and responsibilities - Required inputs from previous stages - Essential reference documentation - Process guidelines and templates - Quality checklists - Common pitfalls to avoid - Tips for success This completes the story development prompt system alongside the previously committed README.md and Stage 8 (Review) prompt.

# Stage 0: Scenario Initialization
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose:** Establish the foundational elements of your Break Escape scenario by selecting technical challenges and narrative themes that will guide all subsequent development.
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:** A clear specification of technical challenges and 2-3 narrative theme options that align with those challenges.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Your Role
|
||||
|
||||
You are a scenario initialization specialist for Break Escape, a cybersecurity escape room game. Your task is to create the foundation for a new scenario by:

||||
|
||||
1. Identifying which technical cybersecurity challenges will be the core of this scenario
|
||||
2. Proposing narrative themes that naturally align with those challenges
|
||||
3. Selecting an appropriate ENTROPY cell whose operations and philosophy fit the scenario
|
||||
4. Outlining the basic premise in a way that guides subsequent development stages

```
|
||||
|
||||
## Quality Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
Before finalizing your initialization, verify:
|
||||
|
||||
### Technical Challenge Quality
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Common Pitfalls to Avoid
|
||||
|
||||
### Challenge Selection Pitfalls
|
||||
- **Too many challenges** - Stick to 3-5 core challenges; more dilutes educational focus
|
||||
- **Challenges don't connect** - Challenges should build on each other, not be random
|
||||
- **Unrealistic challenges** - Avoid Hollywood hacking; teach real concepts
|
||||
- **Inappropriate difficulty** - Make sure challenges match target tier
|
||||
- **Implementation impossible** - Check that game engine can actually support the challenge
|
||||
|
||||
### Cell Selection Pitfalls
|
||||
- **Wrong cell capabilities** - Don't pick Supply Chain Saboteurs for a web security scenario
|
||||
- **Forgetting cell philosophy** - Cell motivation should make sense
|
||||
- **Missing LORE opportunities** - Consider how this fits into larger storylines
|
||||
|
||||
### Theme Development Pitfalls
|
||||
- **Theme doesn't support challenges** - Story should explain why challenges exist
|
||||
- **Unclear stakes** - Players need to know what they're fighting for
|
||||
- **Too generic** - "Stop the bad guys from stealing data" is boring; be specific
|
||||
- **Tone mismatch** - Remember Break Escape is mostly serious with strategic humor
|
||||
- **Scope creep** - Don't try to tell an epic trilogy in a 30-minute scenario
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
For inspiration, review these example initializations:
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 1: "The Cipher Inheritance"
|
||||
- **Challenges:** Symmetric/asymmetric encryption, certificate analysis, key recovery
|
||||
- **Cell:** Crypto Anarchists
|
||||
- **Theme:** Museum exhibit of historical ciphers is cover for stealing a quantum-resistant encryption algorithm
|
||||
- **Why it works:** Natural integration of cryptography challenges with Crypto Anarchists' philosophy and methods
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 2: "Ghost in the SCADA"
|
||||
- **Challenges:** Industrial control systems, network segmentation, legacy vulnerabilities
|
||||
- **Cell:** Critical Mass
|
||||
- **Theme:** Water treatment facility with outdated SCADA systems being ransomed by ENTROPY
|
||||
- **Why it works:** Real-world stakes, cell expertise matches challenges, timely threat scenario
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 3: "The Trust Fall"
|
||||
- **Challenges:** Phishing detection, social engineering, insider threats
|
||||
- **Cell:** Social Fabric
|
||||
- **Theme:** Financial firm being manipulated by ENTROPY using compromised employees
|
||||
- **Why it works:** Human element central to both challenges and narrative, Social Fabric specialization
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips for Success
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Start with what excites you** - If you're passionate about a particular challenge type or cell, start there
|
||||
2. **Let constraints guide creativity** - Technical limitations can inspire interesting narrative solutions
|
||||
3. **Think about the player experience** - How will this feel to play?
|
||||
4. **Consider replay value** - Can players approach challenges differently on subsequent playthroughs?
|
||||
5. **Build in flexibility** - Leave room for subsequent stages to add detail and nuance
|
||||
6. **Study the examples** - The universe bible contains fully developed scenarios to learn from
|
||||
7. **Don't overthink it** - This is initialization, not final design; you can refine later
|
||||
|
||||

# Stage 3: Moral Choices and Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose:** Design meaningful player choices with narrative consequences that create player agency, moral complexity, and replay value while maintaining the integrity of core technical challenges.

|
||||
|
||||
## Your Role
|
||||
|
||||
You are a choice architect for Break Escape. Design player decisions that:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create genuine moral dilemmas without clear "right" answers
|
||||
2. Produce meaningful narrative consequences
|
||||
3. Respect player agency and choices
|
||||
4. DO NOT affect core technical learning objectives
|
||||
5. Support the Break Escape philosophy of ethical cybersecurity
|
||||
|
||||
**Critical Constraint:** Choices may branch the narrative but MUST NOT allow players to skip core technical challenges.
|
||||
|
||||
## Required Input
|
||||
|
||||
From previous stages:
|
||||
- Stage 0: Technical challenges (which must remain intact)
|
||||
- Stage 1: Narrative structure
|
||||
- Stage 2: Character profiles and motivations
|
||||

## Critical Technical Constraints
|
||||
|
||||
**READ `docs/ROOM_GENERATION.md` IN FULL before proceeding.**
|
||||
|
||||
Key rules:
|
||||
- All measurements in Grid Units (1 GU = 1.5m)
|
||||
- **Minimum room size: 4×4 GU, Maximum: 15×15 GU**
|
||||
- **All rooms have 1 GU padding on all sides**
|
||||
- **Usable space = room size - 2 GU**
|
||||
- **Place items ONLY in usable space, NEVER in padding**
|
||||
- **Rooms must overlap by ≥ 1 GU for connections**
|
||||
|
||||
## Process
|
||||
|
||||
Define location, design individual rooms with exact dimensions, create overall map layout, place challenges, distribute items, position NPCs, and validate all technical constraints.
