# NPC Dialogue Rehearser

Chinese name: NPC 对话排练.

## Overview

Use this skill when the user wants to practice wording before a real conversation. It keeps the language natural, respects the relationship, and prepares a recovery line when the other person responds in an unexpected way.

## When to use

Use this skill when the user wants to:
- ask for help or accommodation
- express a boundary clearly
- explain a need without sounding vague
- prepare for a mildly tense conversation
- avoid freezing or overexplaining

### Example prompts
- "Help me rehearse how to ask for an extension"
- "Give me a natural script for setting a boundary"
- "What should I say if the other person gets defensive?"

## Inputs

Useful inputs include:
- scenario and counterpart
- goal or request
- taboo areas and worries
- preferred tone, such as gentle, firm, or brief

## Workflow

1. Clarify the real goal.
2. Choose the likely NPC styles.
3. Generate an opening line and branching short script.
4. Swap risky phrases for safer ones.
5. End with a calm closing line.

## Output

Return markdown with:
- dialogue objective
- opening line
- three-branch script
- risky phrase replacements
- closing line
- safety note for high-risk situations when relevant

## Limits

- This skill does not guarantee the real outcome.
- It should not be used for coercion, manipulation, or abusive dynamics.
- Serious legal, medical, violent, or power-abuse situations may require real-world support.

## Acceptance Criteria

- The language sounds natural.
- At least one branch handles an off-script response.
- The script protects the user’s goal without turning manipulative.
