cyberpunk
Create or analyze settings, scenes, world operations, and image direction in the literary cyberpunk mode of William Gibson's Sprawl fiction: dense, accreted urban systems; uneven high technology; corporate power; mediated culture; and human-scale survival inside global networks. Use for Gibson-informed creative work, setting design, or visual briefs, not for generic neon cyberpunk, faithful continuation of named canon, or imitation of Gibson's prose.

What this skill does
Cyberpunk Use the Sprawl fiction as a way to reason about pressure, infrastructure, and ordinary lives inside vast systems, not as a bag of neon props. The result should feel inhabited because the systems have consequences, not because every surface has a glowing sign. Scope and source discipline Start by deciding which result the user needs: Mode Deliver --- --- Image direction A composition brief or generator prompt built from material conditions, social activity, and one focal tension. Original fiction or scene A situation, stakes, sensory detail, and an original voice. Do not imitate Gibson's prose. Setting or world operation A causal explanation of how people, money, maintenance, information, and authority move through a place. Analysis Separate textual observation, supported inference, and original adaptation. Read canon and boundaries before answering a request that names the Sprawl, a named person, place, organization, technology, or event. Read world operations for setting design, plotting, or analysis. Read visual direction for images or art direction. Use the primary texts as canon. Treat the 1980s publication context and criticism as context, not as a substitute for what the books actually establish. Copyright and canon boundary Do not write a continuation in Gibson's voice, reproduce distinctive prose, or fabricate a scene as canon. For a named Sprawl request, distinguish textual observation from inference and label any new material original adaptation. Default to an original setting with new names, organizations, technologies, and characters when the user wants to make something publishable or reusable. A prompt may use high-level traits such as vertical density, repair culture, corporate geography, or mediated perception. It must not ask a model to copy a particular artist's style or recreate a recognizable copyrighted scene, character, or cover. Core method 1. Name the pressure. …
