# Content Infrastructure
Directories prefixed with `_` are infrastructure, not game content. The server content loader skips directories starting with `_` when scanning for content files.
- `_meta/` — Infrastructure metadata (this directory)
- `_schema/` — JSON Schema validation files (draft 2020-12)
## Directory Hierarchy
Content is organized hierarchically to match the game universe:
```
content/
content.yaml # Manifest: campaign list, glob discovery patterns
global/ # Cross-campaign shared content (factions, enums, knowledge)
campaigns/
{campaign}/ # e.g., "main"
campaign.yaml
systems/
{system}/ # e.g., "van-maanens-star"
system.yaml
stations/
{station}/ # e.g., "sova"
station.yaml
districts/
{district}/ # e.g., "transit"
district.yaml
npcs/
locations/
triangles/
dialogue/
monologue/
routines/
templates/
```
## Canonical ID Derivation
Identity is derived from directory path at load time — no redundant ID fields in YAML.
- **District:** `{system}.{station}.{district}` (e.g., `van-maanens-star.sova.transit`)
- **NPC (within district):** `npc:{slug}` (e.g., `npc:kael-davan`)
- **NPC (cross-district):** `npc:{district}.{slug}` (e.g., `npc:transit.kael-davan`)
- **Location:** `{system}.{station}.{district}.location.{slug}`
## Content Discovery
The loader reads `content.yaml` for enabled campaigns and their glob patterns.
District discovery uses `systems/**/districts/*/district.yaml` — no per-district
manifest entry needed. Adding a district = creating a directory with district.yaml.
