description: Knowledge engine over the Colombian Truth Commission (CEV) final report "Hay Futuro Si Hay Verdad" (2022) — the findings, statistics, armed-actor responsibilities, differential harms, coined lexicon, and the 67-recommendation roadmap for non-repetition (no repetición). Uses a kg/LLM-wiki retrieval architecture (substrate-canonical knowledge pages + a dense catalog projection for tier-1 routing + body-grep tier-2 + the agent as query engine) plus data-backed tools, including an `align` check that scores a proposed policy/action against the report's recommendation roadmap. USE WHEN reasoning about the Colombian armed conflict, peace process, transitional justice, victims, reconciliation, paramilitarism, the FARC-EP/ELN, narcotrafficking and drug policy, land/agrarian questions, the enemigo interno, falsos positivos, the Unión Patriótica genocide, social-leader killings, differential harms (ethnic peoples, women and LGBTIQ+, children, exiles, campesinado), territorial/human security, memory, or non-repetition; when designing, evaluating or critiquing a peacebuilding/policy intervention against the CEV evidence; when asked what the report found or recommends on a topic; or when you need a sourced conflict statistic, responsibility share, or coined concept. NOT FOR downloading/ingesting the report (that was a one-off pipeline); NOT FOR live news on the current Colombian government; NOT FOR individual criminal responsibility (that is the JEP's role — this skill carries the CEV's COLLECTIVE ethical-political responsibility). Triggers on "comisión de la verdad", "truth commission", "hay futuro si hay verdad", "Colombian conflict", "non-repetition", "no repetición", "paz grande", "transitional justice Colombia", "falsos positivos", "paramilitarismo", "JEP/CEV".

# colombia-conflict — CEV final-report knowledge engine

A permanent, queryable knowledge layer distilled from the Colombian Truth
Commission's final report **Hay Futuro Si Hay Verdad** (2022 — 11 tomos / 24
books / ~8,900 pp / ~3.67M words). It carries the report's substantive
**learnings and insights**, and gives agents tools to **act on the problematics
the report describes** — above all, the goal of **no repetición** (non-repetition).

## Architecture (kg / LLM-wiki)

Mirrors the workspace's `kg` LLM-as-index pattern:

- **Substrate (canonical)** — `references/`: the 12 per-volume digests +
  `synthesis.md` (master consolidation) + `lexicon.md`. These are the knowledge
  pages; the agent reasons over them.
- **Projection (routing)** — `references/knowledge-index.md`: a dense, one-line-
  per-item catalog auto-generated from `data/` + digest headers. Tier-1 retrieval
  scores against this.
- **Structured data** — `data/`: `statistics.json` (the conflict universe),
  `actors.json` (collective-responsibility shares), `recommendations.json` (67
  recs / 8 blocks), `concepts.json` (the coined lexicon).
- **Engine** — `scripts/cc.py`: two-tier `load` (catalog tier-1 → body-grep
  tier-2), data queries, the `align` non-repetition scorer, and the catalog
  generator. **The agent is the query engine** — `load` surfaces the relevant
  pages; the agent does the reasoning.

## When to reach for it

Load this skill whenever a task touches the Colombian armed conflict or its
aftermath — peacebuilding, transitional justice, victims and reparation,
paramilitarism, the FARC-EP/ELN, drug policy, the land/agrarian question, the
*enemigo interno*, *falsos positivos*, the UP genocide, social-leader killings,
differential harms (ethnic peoples, women/LGBTIQ+, children, exiles,
*campesinado*), territorial/human security, memory, or **non-repetition** — and
whenever you must ground a claim in a **sourced** statistic, responsibility
share, recommendation, or coined concept rather than guessing.

## Usage

```bash
# Two-tier kg retrieval over the knowledge pages
python3 scripts/cc.py load "desaparición forzada responsabilidad" -n 6

# Query the 67 recommendations
python3 scripts/cc.py rec --theme drug-policy
python3 scripts/cc.py rec --block 6            # the human-security block
python3 scripts/cc.py rec --search "social leaders protection"

# Sourced statistics / actors / lexicon
python3 scripts/cc.py stat homicides
python3 scripts/cc.py stat --all
python3 scripts/cc.py actor paramilitaries
python3 scripts/cc.py concept --search "cuerpo-territorio"

# "Does this proposal advance no repetición?" — score against the roadmap.
# align is LEXICAL overlap + a curated anti-pattern (contrary-stance) check —
# it flags proposals that CONTRADICT a block (e.g. "increase fumigation"), but it
# is not a full stance model: reason about polarity and gaps yourself.
python3 scripts/cc.py align "a program to legalize coca cultivation and support campesinos cocaleros"

# Regenerate the routing catalog (after editing data/ or references/)
python3 scripts/cc.py index            # write
python3 scripts/cc.py index --check    # CI: exit 1 if stale
```

### Recommended agent flow

1. **`load <topic>`** to pull the relevant knowledge-page sections into context.
2. Read the cited `references/` page(s) for the full, faithful detail.
3. Use `rec` / `stat` / `actor` / `concept` for precise sourced facts.
4. For a proposed intervention, run **`align`** to see which recommendation
   blocks it advances — then reason about gaps the report would flag
   (impunity, structural causes, differential harms, *terceros civiles*).

## The substance (one screen)

- **Thesis** — *Hay futuro si hay verdad.* The war (≈9M victims, ~90% civilian)
  persists because structural causes were never confronted; the demand is **No
  Matar** and *sacar las armas de la política*.
- **Causal web (*entramado*)** — land/agrarian question · restricted democracy +
  *enemigo interno* · selective State (*más territorio que Estado*) · narco +
  the war on drugs · impunity · economic model + *terceros civiles*.
- **Responsibility (collective)** — paramilitaries lead homicide/disappearance;
  FARC-EP lead kidnapping/recruitment; the State owns *falsos positivos* and
  bears responsibility *for* paramilitarism. *"A mayor poder, mayor
  responsabilidad."*
- **Differential architecture** — ethnic peoples, women/LGBTIQ+, children,
  exiles and territories get their own volumes; a single national narrative
  would reproduce the erasure that enabled the war.
- **Telos** — 67 recommendations / 8 blocks: full Accord implementation, ELN
  negotiation, integral reparation + memory, inclusive democracy, **drug-war →
  legal regulation**, breaking impunity, **human security**, agrarian/territorial
  reform, a culture of peace.

## Provenance & honesty

- Source: comisiondelaverdad.co, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Statistics carry their
  registry (RUV / CNMH / JEP-CEV-HRDAG) and both figures where the report prints
  two. `recommendations.json` is encoded at block granularity (faithful to the
  synthesis, not a verbatim transcription of all 67 articles).
- This is **collective** (ethical-political) responsibility as the CEV framed it
  — not individual criminal guilt (the JEP's domain).
- The full 393 MB of source PDFs is **not** bundled (it lives in the user's
  Downloads); the knowledge substrate is the digests + synthesis.
