Bartender Skill
"The bartender knows everyone's secrets. The bartender tells no one."
Generic bartending capabilities that any character can have. This is a ROLE skill — it provides methods and behaviors, not personality.
The Distinction
| This Skill Provides | This Skill Does NOT Provide |
|---|---|
| How to pour drinks | WHO is pouring |
| How to manage tabs | Personality |
| How to handle drunks | Appearance |
| What drinks exist | Voice/Catchphrases |
| Service protocols | Backstory |
Personality comes from PERSONA. Capability comes from SKILL.

The Bartender's Code
- Listen more than talk
- Remember faces, forget conversations
- Know when to cut off
- Protect regulars
- Stay neutral (unless absolutely necessary)
- The bar is sanctuary
Integration
When a character has this skill and is at their station:
# They can respond to:
customer: "What's good tonight?"
# With bartender.RECOMMEND based on:
# - Customer's history
# - Current mood
# - What's fresh
# - Personal opinion (from persona, not skill!)
The SKILL provides the capability. The PERSONA provides the flavor. The CHARACTER provides the presence.
