Is there anywhere in the documentation? It would be nice to have a checklist, so I don't surprise the player with generic responses that don't work with the game.

You can also view the default verbs and commands by turning on "Show Library Elements" under the Filter menu in the bottom left of the desktop editor pane. Not only can you see all the built-in elements, you can also copy them into your game to make changes to them.

They're not explicitly documented anywhere, but you can find them all within the English language template file English.aslx at https://github.com/textadventures/quest/blob/master/WorldModel/WorldModel/Core/Languages/English.aslx

Neat, thanks. I was curious. Looks like people could search through it or, if someone was really dedicated, find a way to parse through to make a super-human-readable document.
