Lorebook

A lorebook is a set of background entries that can be added to an AI roleplay prompt when relevant keywords, rules, or retrieval settings match the current scene.

The entries below are preserved in their original source language to avoid unreviewed machine translation.

Quick answer

Use a lorebook for durable world facts such as locations, factions, timelines, side characters, family histories, magic rules, or recurring objects that should not fill the prompt on every turn.

Plain-language meaning

A lorebook is not the live chat and not the main character card. It is a reference shelf the app can pull from when the scene needs a specific fact.

Lorebook searches attract advanced roleplay users comparing Chub, SillyTavern, SpicyChat, and guided apps.

OnlyKin does not need to expose every advanced lorebook switch, but it should explain the concept and simplify the benefits for story-first users.
