A Note on Authorship and AI Tools

The fiction, characters, and worldview behind Veiled Dominion and its related projects are mine — written over close to a decade, well before any AI tool existed to help organize them. I use AI assistance (Claude) the way I'd use an editor: to structure documentation, debug code, and turn years of scattered writing into a coherent, working ecosystem. It doesn't originate the ideas here. It helps build them.

For a full, itemized account of exactly where AI assistance was used in this codebase and where it wasn't — including which tools, for what, and current status — see AI_USAGE.md in the flagship repo.

Let's build something structured.

Always open to exploring system architectures, accessibility advocacy, or game theory mechanics. Feel free to connect or open an issue on our public tracks.
