Incarnate Word Citations

A Claude Code skill for finding citations in the works of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother via the Incarnate Word API.

Install

Requires Bun and Claude Code.

# Create the skill directory
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/incarnateword-citations/{scripts,references}

# Download the required files
BASE="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cyberchitta/incarnateword-citations/main"
curl -sL "$BASE/SKILL.md"           -o ~/.claude/skills/incarnateword-citations/SKILL.md
curl -sL "$BASE/package.json"       -o ~/.claude/skills/incarnateword-citations/package.json
curl -sL "$BASE/scripts/search.ts"  -o ~/.claude/skills/incarnateword-citations/scripts/search.ts
curl -sL "$BASE/references/api.md"  -o ~/.claude/skills/incarnateword-citations/references/api.md

# Install dependencies
cd ~/.claude/skills/incarnateword-citations && bun install

Then in any Claude Code session, provide a quote and ask for its source — the skill activates automatically.

Usage

bun run scripts/search.ts \
  --q "the divine life" --phrase true --stripHtml true --deepLink both

Or use it as a Claude Code skill — Claude will call the search script and format citations automatically.

Note: Deep link URLs (with #pN paragraph anchors) may require manual adjustment. See SKILL.md for known limitations.

What it searches

The complete published works of Sri Aurobindo (CWSA, SABCL, Arya) and The Mother (CWM, Agenda) hosted on incarnateword.in.
