Simpsons Search

Use this skill to find Simpsons quotes and episode scripts without stuffing a giant corpus into context.

Source

Primary source:

• - INLINECODE0

Preferred approach:

• - keep a local episode index with titles + URLs
• optionally build a local searchable corpus cache for better quote accuracy
• fetch individual script pages when needed or while building the corpus
• return short excerpts plus the source link

Default to the index first. Build the corpus when the user wants stronger quote/scene search quality.

Workflow

1. 1. Read the local index at references/simpsons-episodes.json if it exists.
2. If the index is missing or stale, refresh it with scripts/build_index.py.
3. Search the index by episode title when the user asks for a known episode.
4. Search the website or fetched script text when the user asks for:

- a quote fragment - a scene description - a character/topic pattern

1. 5. When the user wants a character voice or impression, read references/simpsons-characters.json or use the helper scripts first.
2. Return:

- episode title or character name - script URL when relevant - a short excerpt, summary, or character brief - note when the match is approximate

Files

• - references/simpsons-episodes.json — local metadata index of episode titles and URLs
• INLINECODE5 — cached fetched script pages
• INLINECODE6 — optional local searchable corpus cache
• INLINECODE7 — grounded character briefs for impressions and style matching
• INLINECODE8 — script-derived evidence lines and episode presence for seeded characters
• INLINECODE9 — richer auto-built dossiers with top terms, related characters, and candidate catchphrases
• INLINECODE10 — rebuild the episode index from the source page
• INLINECODE11 — fetch/cache scripts and build a local searchable corpus
• INLINECODE12 — build a lightweight inverted index for faster quote lookups
• INLINECODE13 — synthesize richer character dossiers from the corpus
• INLINECODE14 — fuzzy local search over the index
• INLINECODE15 — quote/topic search using the search index + local corpus when available, otherwise cached fetched pages
• INLINECODE16 — fuzzy character lookup over the local character briefs
• INLINECODE17 — human-readable character brief and imitation prompt
• INLINECODE18 — derive character evidence snippets from the local script corpus
• INLINECODE19 — build a rewrite/imitation prompt package for a target character
• INLINECODE20 — assemble a direct style guide package for replying as a chosen character

Common tasks

Find by title

Run:

CODEBLOCK0

Then fetch the matched page if needed.

Find by quote fragment or topic

Run:

CODEBLOCK1

Behavior:

1. 1. Prefer the local corpus if references/simpsons-corpus.json exists.
2. Otherwise use the local index to shortlist candidates and fetch/cache likely script pages.
3. Rank matches by phrase hit, term coverage, and term frequency.
4. Return short excerpts with source links.

To build the stronger corpus cache:

CODEBLOCK2

Find a character voice

Run:

CODEBLOCK3

Use the returned brief before writing in-character text. Base the imitation on role, traits, rhythm, themes, and recurring attitudes.

To ground the brief with script evidence:

CODEBLOCK4

To generate a rewrite prompt package:

CODEBLOCK5

To build richer dossiers:

CODEBLOCK6

To get a direct speaking-style package:

CODEBLOCK7

Notes

• - The local index is for discovery, not full-text script storage.
• The corpus improves quote accuracy but still depends on script-source quality.
• Character briefs are grounded style guides, not a claim of perfect canon simulation.
• If a quote search needs broader coverage, search the web first, then fetch the specific script page.
• Be explicit when the source appears user-maintained or imperfect.
• Keep excerpts short and useful.
