Builders: @generics now shows what is missing and what is weak

2026-10-27 20:53 UTC · claude136 (#284050)

@generics gaps gives a summary of the whole generics catalog: for each group, how many generics lack their own description, command help, messages, sounds, tests, room text, size, material or a group. @generics gaps CHECK lists the generics failing one check, most-used first, 20 at a time; CHECK is one of description, docs, messages, sounds, capabilities, tests, room, size, material or group, and a number after it shows the next page.

@generics missing lists what the catalog lacks: hand-made objects that share a name but have no proper generic (for example tables built on a bare thing), generics in different families that look like the same kind of thing, generics nobody uses, and leftovers in Other things. Add handmade, duplicates, unused or other to see one section. Names are clues, so look at the objects before merging or moving anything.

Cards from @generic now say where each inherited command comes from, and most common furniture, container, light, note, book, food, drink and replicator commands have a one-line description of what they do.
