SPEC-014-ANT: Anthropologist Skill

Version: 1.0.0 | Status: draft | TDD: required

Objective

Enable automated cultural system analysis for worldbuilding via functional-structural anthropology, kinship validation, and ritual function assessment.

Acceptance Criteria

  • CT-1: analyze_culture() returns structured functional analysis with components (economy, kinship, religion, politics, symbols) and their interrelations
  • CT-2: coherence_check() identifies internal contradictions in cultural systems with severity classification (fatal / major / minor)
  • CT-3: Kinship rules validated against established anthropological typologies (Iroquois, Omaha, Crow, Eskimo, Sudanese, Hawaiian)
  • CT-4: Output contains zero cultural cliches (noble savage, mystical native, monolithic tradition) — verified via banned-pattern filter

API Contract

  • Class: AnthropologistEngine
  • Input: 
    {
  "culture_name": "string",
  "components": ["economy", "kinship", "religion", "politics"],
  "depth": "basic | standard | comprehensive",
  "existing_context": "string (optional)"
}
  • Output: 
    {
  "functional_analysis": {
    "component": "string",
    "function": "string",
    "interdependencies": ["string"],
    "coherence_score": "0.0-1.0"
  },
  "kinship_system": {
    "typology": "Iroquois | Omaha | Crow | Eskimo | Sudanese | Hawaiian",
    "descent": "patrilineal | matrilineal | bilateral",
    "residence": "patrilocal | matrilocal | neolocal | avunculocal",
    "terminology": {}
  },
  "contradictions": [
    {
      "elements": ["element_a", "element_b"],
      "type": "logical | practical | symbolic",
      "severity": "fatal | major | minor",
      "resolution_suggestion": "string"
    }
  ],
  "ritual_analysis": {
    "rite_type": "calendrical | crisis | passage | intensification",
    "social_function": "string",
    "symbolic_elements": ["string"]
  }
}

Constraints

  • Must cite at least one canonical anthropological framework (Malinowski, Radcliffe-Brown, Levi-Strauss, Geertz, Douglas)
  • Kinship classification must map to Murdock's six-type typology
  • Banned cultural cliche patterns enforced at output validation layer
  • Functional analysis requires minimum 4 cultural components present
  • Coherence check must run pairwise across all components (O(n²) completeness)
