What This Skill Does
A CLI tool that queries the Star Wars API (SWAPI) to look up characters, planets, films, species, and starships from the original and prequel trilogies. No authentication or account needed. Covers Episodes 1-6 only.
Gives agents direct structured lookups instead of relying on model training data, which can be imprecise for specific Star Wars facts.
When to use it
- Looking up which actor played a specific character
- Checking the homeworld and climate of a Star Wars planet
- Getting the full list of films with release dates and directors
- Finding species classification and lifespan details
- Retrieving starship specs like crew size and freighter class
