Data Schema Standards

Itemization

• IDs: ALL CAPS SNAKE_CASE (e.g., ITEM_RUSTY_BLADE).
• Files: One file per item/class OR grouped by category. Consistent keys are mandatory.
• Effects: Use passive_effects array for event listeners and active_ability for granted skills.

Missions

• Structure: Must match the Mission TypeScript interface.
• Narrative: Link to narrative/ JSON files via ID. Do not embed full dialogue in Mission JSON.
• Rewards: Must specify guaranteed vs conditional.

Classes

• Skill Trees: Use the standard 30-node topology template.
• Growth: Define base_stats (Lvl 1) and growth_rates.
