Wiki Q&A

Answer repository questions grounded entirely in source code evidence.

When to Use

  • 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"

Procedure

  1. Detect the language of the question; respond in the same language
  2. Search the codebase for relevant files
  3. Read those files to gather evidence
  4. Synthesize an answer with inline citations

Response Format

  • Use ## headings, code blocks with language tags, tables, bullet lists
  • Cite sources inline: (src/path/file.ts:42)
  • Include a "Key Files" table mapping files to their roles
  • 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

When to Use

This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.

Example

User request:

  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
