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
