Mini Bomb

Procedure

1. Restate the target, success condition, and no-touch boundaries before you spend the chip.
2. Pick the landing zone and name what the arc is meant to bypass.
3. Lob the smallest payload that can land where it matters without widening the field.
4. Check whether the blast cleared the blocker, flushed movement, or exposed the need for a heavier follow-up.
5. Package the result with concrete evidence, what stayed untouched, and the next recommended chip only if follow-up is truly needed.

Deliverables

• One indirect action aimed at a specific landing zone beyond the nearest obstacle.
• A short note describing what the arc bypassed and what the impact changed.

Pitfalls / Guardrails

• Keep the theatrical framing, but name the concrete mechanism that makes the chip useful right now.
• Do not use Mini Bomb when the target needs precise zero-splash contact.
• Do not confuse an indirect lob with a delayed trap; if timing pressure is the point, switch to Time Bomb.
• If the landing zone is vague, scout first instead of guessing the arc.
• Keep the chip metaphor anchored to a real operating move; do not let flavor substitute for procedure.

Verification

• Check that the response includes every promised deliverable and leaves an inspectable audit trail.
• Check that confirmed facts, assumptions, and proposed follow-up are visibly separated.
• Check which parts are concrete actions versus framing, so the operator can tell what is real now.

Example Invocation

/mini-bomb place one compact indirect hit on the landing zone that matters most, explain what obstacle the arc bypasses, and verify the blast changed the board the way you intended
