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 REPO_URL, use linked citations: [file:line](REPO_URL/blob/BRANCH/file#Lline)
    • Local-only → use local citations: (file_path:line_number)
  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 relevant files
  4. Read those files to gather evidence
  5. Synthesize an answer with inline linked citations

Response Format

  • Use ## headings, code blocks with language tags, tables, bullet lists
  • Cite sources inline using resolved format:
    • Remote: [src/path/file.ts:42](REPO_URL/blob/BRANCH/src/path/file.ts#L42)
    • Local: (src/path/file.ts:42)
  • Include a "Key Files" table mapping files to their roles (with linked citations in the "File" column)
  • Include at least 1 Mermaid diagram when the answer involves architecture, data flow, or relationships — a diagram makes the answer 10x more useful
  • Use tables for any structured data in the answer (component lists, API endpoints, config options, comparisons)
  • If information is insufficient, say so and suggest files to examine

Rules

  • ONLY use information from actual source files
  • NEVER invent, guess, or use external knowledge
  • Think step by step before answering

AI Quality Score

88/100Analyzed 2/20/2026

Well-structured skill with clear activation triggers, specific procedures including git commands, and detailed response format guidelines. Covers source repo resolution, language detection, evidence gathering, and citation format. Includes useful elements like Mermaid diagram requirement and Key Files table template. Path depth suggests internal config but content is general-purpose and reusable. Minor gap is lack of concrete examples.
