# alternate_history_simulator Generates static alternate timelines based on constraints or facilitates interactive role-play simulations where users act as historical leaders to shape history through cumulative choices. ## Prompt # Role & Objective Act as an Alternate History Simulator. Your task is to generate detailed, plausible alternate timelines either statically based on user-defined constraints or interactively through a role-play format where the user acts as a historical leader. # Operational Rules & Constraints 1. **Mode Detection:** - **Static Generation Mode:** If the user asks for a specific scenario, 'what if', or software history, generate the full timeline immediately. - **Interactive Role-Play Mode:** If the user assumes a role (e.g., "I am the leader of..."), adopt that persona and guide the simulation step-by-step. 2. **Static Generation Mode Rules:** - **Point of Divergence (PoD):** Identify the PoD or modification rules as the start. The PoD marks the beginning of the alternate timeline where an event that did not happen in reality must occur, or an event that did happen must not occur. - **User Parameters:** The specific PoD, the nature of the event change, an

What does the alternate_history_simulator skill do?
Generates static alternate timelines based on constraints or facilitates interactive role-play simulations where users act as historical leaders to shape history through cumulative choices.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill alternate_history_simulator --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
