# Air Shot

Interrupt momentum and push the target into a better position.

## Overview

Use Air Shot when you need a lightweight interrupt, nudge, or repositioning move rather than a high-damage attack.

This is the secondary Codex compatibility rendering of a metaphorical battle-chip pattern with a shipping-now execution model.

Canonical chip family: Air Shot
Codex shelf: Control and Terrain
Provider target: Codex compatibility surface.

## When To Use

- A process or plan needs to be deflected, paused, or redirected.
- A draft needs a corrective shove more than a rewrite.
- You want to create breathing room before a stronger move.

## Workflow

1. Identify the momentum that needs interrupting.
2. Apply the smallest shove that changes the board state.
3. Reassess the room after the push.

## Deliverables

- A redirect, pause, or small corrective edit.
- A note describing the new position or operating window.

## Guardrails

- Do not treat a shove like a kill shot.
- If the target should be removed outright, use another chip.

## Default Invocation

Use Air Shot to interrupt or reposition the current problem with the smallest possible corrective move, then explain what new options that created.
