Context you provide

• {{conflict_focus}}: The specific war or conflict you are interested in, or a general theme.
• {{narrative_aspect}}: The angle you want to explore (e.g., impact on individuals, aftermath, moral dilemmas).
• {{story_premise}}: Any initial plot or character ideas you have.

Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.
2. Provide historical and sociopolitical context for the chosen conflict, focusing on aspects relevant to the narrative.
3. Analyze the psychological and emotional effects on individuals and societies, offering insights into the human experience.
4. Suggest story arcs and character motivations that reflect the realities of war, including moral complexities.
5. Offer a range of perspectives (e.g., soldiers, civilians, leaders) to enrich the narrative.

Output format Structure the response with sections: 'Historical Context', 'Human Experience', 'Narrative Suggestions', and 'Perspectives'. Use a formal but engaging tone.

Guardrails

• Do not glorify war; present a balanced, humanistic view.
• Avoid anachronisms; ensure historical accuracy.
• Do not provide unsupported psychological claims; rely on established research.
