SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires swisseph, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It answers one concrete yes/no-style life question by casting an independent Vedic Prashna (horary) chart from the exact asking time and place, without requiring a natal birth chart.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standard-layer judgment: Runs a Shatpanchasika-rooted classical Prashna pipeline with question taxonomy gating, house/karaka mapping, a rule ledger, and a three-tier verdict (favorable / pending / unfavorable).
  • Isolated optional stacks: Tajika sixteen-yoga overlay and KP 1-249 horary run as separate, mutually exclusive stacks that never alter the standard verdict.
  • Strict data isolation: Outputs go only to dedicated prashna_* or kp_horary_* directories, reusing the shared vedic-calculator engine read-only.
  • Use Case: A user asks "Will this job offer work out?" at a specific moment in a specific city; the skill builds the question-time chart, applies the applicable classical rules, and returns a plain-language judgment with an auditable rule ledger.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to cast a Prashna chart for one specific question, providing the exact asking time and the city or coordinates where the question was asked.

FAQPage Schema
How do I cast a Vedic Prashna horary chart for a question?

Provide one concrete question plus the exact asking time and place. The build_prashna_data.py script computes the chart via the shared engine and writes structured_prashna.md into a dedicated prashna_<timestamp>_<label> directory.

What is the difference between Prashna and natal chart analysis?

Prashna uses the moment a question is asked to judge one specific matter, while natal analysis reads a birth chart for life trends. This skill forbids natal Dasha, divisional charts, SAV, and transits in its standard layer.

Does this Prashna skill support KP horary with 1-249 numbers?

Yes, but only when the user explicitly supplies a 1-249 number. KP runs as an independent stack via build_kp_horary.py with Krishnamurti ayanamsa and Placidus cusps, writing to a separate kp_horary_* directory.

Can Prashna give exact event dates or timing predictions?

The standard layer does not provide production-grade timing and states this explicitly in every judgment. The optional Tajika overlay may show a classical degree-difference candidate, but it is experimental and never enters the main verdict.

Why does the skill reject some questions before casting a chart?

Questions are gated by a taxonomy with A/B/C support levels. C-level questions without classical source coverage stop immediately, and KP scopes like mere re-contact or secret feelings fail closed instead of being rewritten.
