Make one entry about one subject
Give an entry a recognizable subject and a concise set of facts. A harbor entry might describe its name, the closing time of its gates, and the person responsible for incoming ships. It does not need to retell every journey that has passed through it.
Choose trigger words that people will actually use in conversation. Specific place names are usually easier to control than broad words such as 'city' or 'person,' which could activate unrelated information too often.
Test the trigger as well as the writing
Lorebook entries are brought into context through matching keywords in recent dialogue. A book can hold up to 5,000 entries, with a limit of 2,000 characters per entry. Their contents still share limited context space with other material, so storage capacity does not mean every entry is active at once.
Keyword checks use the recent four messages. Entry text does not trigger other entries. If an entry appears to be ignored, mention its subject plainly and check the trigger spelling. If too many entries activate together, use more precise terms or split broad entries into smaller ones.
Decide what other readers can see
A private Lorebook is for your own use. A public book can be discovered and reused after the applicable review process. Treat its entries as published text: do not place personal information there simply because it began as a note for your own character.
Keep world facts in a Lorebook and changing scores in a Rulebook. For example, the harbor's location is world information; the expedition's remaining supplies are story state. Keeping those roles separate makes updates easier to reason about.
Questions
What is a Lorebook in SpicyChat AI?
It is a collection of world-information entries that can be loaded into a conversation when their keywords become relevant. It supplements, rather than replaces, the character definition.
Does a large Lorebook make every detail permanently active?
No. Relevant entries use part of the available context, with limits on how much can be included. Focused entries and precise triggers are more useful than assuming the whole book is always being read.
