This repository contains comprehensive field manuals generated by deep research agents for use by agents at LAN Party. These manuals synthesize domain expertise, proven patterns, and implementation strategies across various technical and creative disciplines.
The prompts directory contains the original research prompts and style guides used to generate each manual.
A guide to LLM prompt engineering covering fundamental design patterns, advanced techniques, and production implementation strategies. Includes zero-shot, few-shot, chain-of-thought prompting, constitutional AI approaches, and empirical optimization methods with real-world case studies.
A technical manual for character-driven narrative systems in television drama. Explores character agency architecture, ensemble dynamics, and dramatic propulsion mechanisms through examples from Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Succession, and The Wire, treating storytelling as a systematic engineering discipline.
A systems approach to organic audience growth and community building in digital spaces. Examines parasocial relationship dynamics, attention economy architecture, and community emergence patterns, providing frameworks for ethical and effective online community development across platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok.
An exploration of how games create compelling stories through mechanical systems rather than authored content. Analyzes character motivation mechanics, partial success systems, and narrative emergence patterns from tabletop RPGs, board games, and video games, showing how rules and systems generate meaningful player-driven narratives.
A guide to designing autonomous AI agent systems with dramatic intent and narrative coherence. Explores agent personality architecture, multi-agent ensemble dynamics, emergent narrative patterns, and the intersection of technical capabilities with storytelling principles to create compelling agent-driven experiences.
A technical manual for spatial design in interactive media. Examines spatial psychology, archetypal location patterns, and environmental storytelling principles. Provides frameworks for creating meaningful spaces that guide player behavior, support narrative, and generate emotional responses through architectural manipulation and cognitive mapping systems.
