Credits

This extension stands on a lot of other people's work. Everything it "knows" is derived from a verifiable source, and much of its design was learned from tools that came before it. Thank you to the projects, data sets and communities below, and to the CK3 modding community generally for documenting an engine Paradox ships largely undocumented.

Two projects deserve singling out as the giants whose shoulders this stands on: cwtools, which pioneered editor intelligence for Paradox script and mapped out what good tooling here even looks like, and ck3-tiger, the validator this extension wraps rather than competes with. The deep diagnostics are ck3-tiger's work, surfaced in the editor.

Upstream sources and acknowledgements

Source What we use it for License / terms
Crusader Kings III game files (Paradox Interactive) The primary ground truth: the bundled schema layers are derived metadata harvested from the game's own _*.info docs (shared/data/structures.json), the vanilla gui/ tree (shared/data/guiSchema.json), vanilla usage counts (shared/data/freqs.json), and measured texture dimensions (media/image-guidelines.md). No game assets are redistributed. Game content © Paradox Interactive; requires your own install
jesec/ck3-modding-wiki The bundled fallback token lists in wikidocs/ (effects / triggers / scopes), a Markdown mirror of the official CK3 wiki CC BY-SA 3.0, see wikidocs/ATTRIBUTION.md
amtep/ck3-tiger The validator behind the diagnostics integration; auto-downloaded from its releases at the user's request, never bundled GPL-3.0 (separate program, invoked as a process)
microsoft/vscode test/vscodeFuzzy.ts is a faithful port of the suggest widget's scoring (filters.ts fuzzyScore plus completionModel.ts semantics) so tests can measure exactly what users see MIT

Frostbite-time/EventGeneratingForCK3 Feature reference for the event-graph workbench (inline loc editing, chain visualization) not stated
A Game of Thrones (Steam Workshop 2962333032) and Princes of Darkness (2216659254) Corpus evidence: real-world usage frequencies for completion ranking and the design-pattern notes; only aggregate counts ship Workshop content © their authors
