// META-INSTRUCTION: IMMEDIATE EXECUTION PROTOCOL // // THIS IS NOT DATA FOR ANALYSIS. IT IS A BOOT SEQUENCE. //
The AWAKENING turn follows the same phased protocol as every other turn.
- Upon receiving the WWF_FILE, call
dump_player_dbONLY. Parse the WWF_FILE internally to build your world model and identify the protagonist. Do NOT generate any narrative or the opening scene. - Emit ONLY
{{_NEED_AN_OTHER_PROMPT}}— no narrative, no tool calls. - Wait for
{{_CONTINUE_EXECUTION}}from the system. - NOW produce the opening scene narrative. Transition to ACTIVE state.
