Time Skill

Simulation turns vs LLM iterations.

Motto: "Time flows as the story requires."

Key Concepts

• Simulation turns — Game time, what mechanics track
• LLM iterations — Meta-level, one response
• They're not the same! One LLM response might be 0, 1, or many turns

Turn Definition

Duration Types

• Turns — X simulation turns (primary unit)
• Conditional — Until condition met
• While present — While in location/with item
• Permanent — Until explicitly removed

See Also

• buff — Buff durations use simulation turns
• needs — Needs decay over simulation turns
