Skill instructions
Wiki Q&A Answer repository questions grounded entirely in source code evidence. When to Activate - User asks a question about the codebase - User wants to understand a specific file, function, or component - User asks "how does X work" or "where is Y defined" Source Repository Resolution (MUST DO FIRST) Before answering any question, you MUST determine the source repository context: 1. Check for git remote: Run git remote get-url origin to detect if a remote exists 2. Ask the user: "Is this a local-only repository, or do you have a source repository URL (e.g., GitHub, Azure DevOps)?" - Remote URL provided → store as REPOURL, use linked citations: file:line - Local-only → use local citations: (filepath:linenumber) 3. Determine default branch: Run git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD 4. Do NOT proceed until source repo context is resolved Procedure 1. Resolve source repo context (see above) 2. Detect the language of the question; respond in the same language 3. Search the codebase for relevan
