What problem does it solve? Developers often need quick, grounded explanations of how existing code works, why a pattern is used, or what a plan implies, without digging through files manually. This Skill reads the targeted code, plan, or branch diff, loads repo learnings and tooling constraints, and produces a focused read-only answer with precise file:line references. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Targeted Question Answering: Resolves the question's target automatically — explicit file paths, the most recent plan file, the current branch diff, or grep-discovered candidates. - Repo Learnings Integration: Loads scoped conventions and gotchas from a wiki (via QMD queries) or flat repo-learnings files so answers reflect project-specific patterns. - Tooling-Aware Explanations: Reads tsconfig, ESLint, and Prettier configs when the question touches types, lint rules, or formatting, citing only constraints relevant to the answer. - Use Case: Ask "why does AccountForm use a controller wrapper" and receive a direct answer citing AccountForm.tsx:42-58, the relevant strict-mode flag that shaped the code, and any applicable repo gotcha — without any files being modified. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to explain why a specific component or pattern in this repository is implemented the way it is.
