Book Generator

Use this skill to create deterministic book packages that backend and replay systems can consume without schema drift.

Workflow

1. Define mode contract first.

• Specify each mode name, mode cost, event file path, and weight table path.
• Lock event schema and ID strategy before high-volume generation.

1. Generate books deterministically.

• Produce books_<mode>.jsonl (or .jsonl.zst) with stable id fields.
• Ensure each record has required fields (id, events, payoutMultiplier).
• Keep generator seeds/config versions in run logs.

21→ 3. Generate weight lookups. 22→ - Build lookUpTable<mode>0.csv with simulation ID, weight, and payout columns. 23→ - Column structure: id (simulation number), weight (probability), payoutMultiplier. 24→ - Keep weights positive and aligned to existing book IDs. 25→ - Normalize total weight policy per product requirements.

1. Assemble index.json.

• Include modes[] with name, cost, events, and weights.
• Verify all referenced files exist and are mode-consistent.

1. Run integrity validation before handoff.

• Validate ID uniqueness and weight coverage.
• Validate referenced files and schema-level required fields.
• Treat any missing file, duplicate ID, or ID mismatch as release blocker.

Commands

python3 scripts/check_books_package.py \
  --index <path/to/index.json>

Optional quick pass:

python3 scripts/check_books_package.py \
  --index <path/to/index.json> \
  --max-rows 50000

Output Contract

Return:

1. Mode Map: mode names, costs, and referenced files.
2. Integrity Findings: pass/fail by mode for books and lookup coverage.
3. Patch Plan: exact generator/index files to adjust.
4. Verification: commands and expected pass criteria.
5. Residual Risks: unresolved blockers.

Execution Rules

• Keep IDs deterministic and stable across reruns unless version is intentionally bumped.
• Keep index references relative and artifact-local.
• Fail fast on schema/coverage mismatches instead of patching silently.
