### Skill roster (draft ideas by category)
**v0 — for examination, not a commit list.** Each row is a **candidate skill** (or tight cluster we might merge). The tables below are a **solid opening roster**—on the order of **~17–23** names depending on how we **merge or split** clusters—and we **expect to add more** as we approach launch. A **wide** skill set is intentional: it gives design and live ops room to grow **loops**, **biomes**, and **specialist fantasies** without collapsing everything into a tiny tree.
