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:
-
Check for git remote: Run git remote get-url origin to detect if a remote exists
-
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
-
Local-only → use local citations: (file_path:line_number)
-
Determine default branch: Run git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
-
Do NOT proceed until source repo context is resolved
Procedure
-
Resolve source repo context (see above)
-
Detect the language of the question; respond in the same language
-
Search the codebase for relevant files
-
Read those files to gather evidence
-
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
-
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
