Using Polestar with AI assistants

Player2 min readUpdated

In short

Give ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or a coding agent Polestar's own docs, so it answers from them instead of from memory.

  1. For players
  2. For guide authors

An AI assistant asked about Polestar answers from what it remembers, and it remembers little about Polestar and about WoW: Forever, whose quests differ from Classic's. Give it Polestar's docs and it answers from them instead. Every docs page and guide on polestar.guide has a plain Markdown copy made for this.

For players#

Paste the index

Give your assistant polestar.guide/llms.txt with your question. It says what Polestar is, how to install it and its main commands, and links every docs page and guide.

Paste one page

Add .md to a docs page's address, as in polestar.guide/docs/players/faq.md. At the top of every docs page, View as Markdown opens that copy and Copy as Markdown copies it.

Give it everything

polestar.guide/llms-full.txt holds the docs for players and guide authors in one file, for an assistant that reads long files or a project's knowledge files.

Ask about a guide

The guide pages have Markdown copies too: a faction's road from every start to 60 (Alliance, Horde), a class's talent plans and class quests (Warrior), or a zone's guide with its steps in order. Ask "which guide should my level 20 Orc play?" with the Horde road.

A prompt that works:

Prompt
Read https://polestar.guide/llms.txt and the pages it links that you need.
Answer from them only, and name the pages you used.
My question: how do I turn on quest markers on the map?

An assistant can still be wrong. Check its answer on the page it names, and report a wrong step from the game (the bug in the guide window, beside Skip), not from what an assistant says.

For guide authors#

Point a coding agent at the format

The authors' overview, the guide format and the guide format reference are what it needs to write a .guide file; the command line lists every polestar command.

Work in a pack folder

polestar new writes AGENTS.md and the polestar-guide-pack skill into the pack, so an agent started there already follows Polestar's workflow: see Writing guides with an AI agent and the handbook's With an AI assistant.

Ids are guesses until the tools agree

An assistant's quest ids, NPC ids, place names and coordinates are guesses until polestar find, lint and playtest confirm them.
