    "incantation": "When an input expression needs to refer to a resource in the current stack, use its auto-assigned identifier in place of its URN. Run `pulumi do show-resources` to inspect those identifiers.",

      "Version: v3.257.0",
      "<input-file> (required): Path to the input file; resource references use `${<identifier>}` syntax in YAML examples.",
      "--input-file: Supplies function or resource inputs from a file; optional for resource operations generally, but used by the documented reference example.",
      "--output: For `show-resources`, selects `text` or `json`; default is `text`.",
      "Prerequisite: Pulumi CLI version 3.257.0 or later.",
      "Docs conflict: Current command reference is generated for Pulumi CLI v3.261.0, later than the card’s v3.257.0. The official docs describe `pulumi do` as research preview; a later Pulumi announcement says it became generally available in v3.258.0."
