SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When implementing or reviewing game logic for the Turnip28 sim, you need the exact wording of a rule rather than a paraphrase, and you need to know whether the v18 playtest changes it. Manually scanning large PDFs is slow and error-prone. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Verbatim rules citation: Returns quoted rules text with exact page numbers from the v17 core rules PDF, never paraphrased. - v17/v18 divergence flagging: Cross-references the v18 playtest PDF and changelists to note when a rule has changed between versions. - Fast changelist-first search: Greps the plain-text v17 and v18 changelists before opening PDFs, and reads large PDFs page-by-page to avoid failed reads. - Use Case: During code review of a melee resolution function, ask what v17 says about return fire and receive the exact quoted rule, its page number, and a note that v18 modifies it. ## Quick Start Ask what the v17 rules say about a specific mechanic, such as "what does v17 say about shooting into melee?"

Frequently Asked Questions about v17-rule

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I look up an exact rule from a game rules PDF?▼

Search the plain-text changelist files first for keywords, since they often point to the right section. If that fails, read the PDF's table of contents, then read only the target pages and quote the rule verbatim with its page number.

How to compare two versions of a rulebook for changes?▼

Grep the v18 changelist for the rule's keywords to see if it was modified. If changed, quote both the v17 and v18 text side by side with their respective page numbers so the divergence is explicit.

Why does reading a large PDF fail in Claude Code?▼

PDFs longer than ten pages cannot be read in a single call and require the pages parameter on the Read tool. Read the table of contents first, then request only the specific pages you need.

What happens if the rule is not found in the PDFs?▼

The skill explicitly reports that the rule was not found rather than fabricating text. It never paraphrases when a citation is requested and marks uncertain page numbers as approximate.

Can this skill answer rules questions about games other than Turnip28?▼

No, it is scoped to the Turnip28 rules_export directory containing the v17 core PDF, v18 playtest PDF, and their changelists. The same search strategy could be adapted to other rulesets with similar file layouts.
