+name: create-faction
+description: Create a new Faction note (political party, guild, secret order, criminal syndicate, religious body, etc.) for the Baltun'ia campaign from the Faction Framework Template — as a faction folder with its Overview note, wikilinked and slotted into the web of faction relationships. Use when the DM wants to add an organization or power bloc (e.g. "create a smugglers' guild", "add a rival party to the Belters", "make the automaton-rights movement a faction").

+
+# Create a Faction
+
+First read `.claude/skills/_shared/vault-conventions.md` and
+`z_templates/Framework Templates/Faction Framework Template.md`. Read a real
+faction (`2. World Almanac/Factions/Belters/Belter Overview.md`) and
+`2. World Almanac/Factions/Faction Relationships.md` and `Faction Types.md` to
+slot the newcomer into the existing political map.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Place it.** `2. World Almanac/Factions/<Faction>/<Faction> Overview.md`
+   (folder + overview note, matching e.g. `Belters/Belter Overview.md`).
+
+2. **Mine canon.** Read Faction Types, Faction Relationships, and the Campaign
+   Premise. Identify which existing factions this one allies with, opposes, or
+   competes against — especially around the core tensions (automatons, the
+   Crown Elect election, the ley-line conspiracy).
+
+3. **Draft** Type, Core Focus, Regions/Cities of influence (wikilinked),
+   Structure & Membership, and public-facing Philosophy/Goals.
+
+4. **Collaborate on the creative pivots.** Use AskUserQuestion for:
+   - The faction's *true* agenda vs. its public face
+   - Its stance toward the central conspiracy (unaware / pawn / architect / opposed)
+   - Key rivalries and alliances with named existing factions
+   - 1–2 plot hooks and a notable NPC leader
+
+5. **Write the Overview** following the real faction style (concise bold-field
+   header, then `## Ideology & Goals`, `## Influence`, `## Notes`, plus Plot
+   Hooks and Notable NPCs). Wikilink regions, cities, rival factions, and leaders.
+
+6. **Connect it.** Add the new faction to `Faction Relationships.md` (and
+   `Faction Types.md` if it's a new type) and reciprocally note it in the
+   overviews of factions it directly allies/clashes with. Offer to create its
+   leader via create-npc.
