panel-patterns

What problem does it solve?

GM teams often need quick ideas to populate info panels that set mood, convey important context, and guide decisions. This Skill provides pre-defined panel patterns and best practices so you can create panels fast without sacrificing narrative clarity.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Pre-defined patterns organized by universal, location, genre, and game state to accelerate panel creation.
• Clear instructions for when to create, update, or dismiss panels and how to format panel files.
• Examples and templates for weather, status alerts, timers, resource tracking, combat, exploration, and faction or discovery panels.
• Best practices for concise, scannable content and consistent panel structure.

Quick Start

Create a panel file at {playerRef}/panels/{id}.md with YAML frontmatter based on one of the patterns (for example, the Weather Status pattern) and add panel content beneath it.
