War Reference

Invoke with Claude Code /palpatine:war or /palpatine:war <query>, or Codex $palpatine:war or $palpatine:war <query>.

Usage

Quick Lookup

Resolve references/war_index.json relative to this skill's SKILL.md; the user's working directory is never the resource base. In Claude Code, the explicit shell path is ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/war/references/war_index.json. Use rg; use grep as a fallback.

# Claude Code, by number
rg -A5 '"id": 4,' "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/war/references/war_index.json"
 
# Codex or another host, after resolving from this SKILL.md
rg -i -B2 -A5 "speed|fast|blitz" "<resolved skill directory>/references/war_index.json"
 
# Fallback when rg is unavailable
grep -E -i -B2 -A5 "speed|fast|blitz" "<resolved skill directory>/references/war_index.json"
