System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill precisely identifies which files an author contributed to on a specific branch, even when those files have been renamed, providing clarity before merges and for code audits.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Author Attribution: Accurately lists files directly committed by an author or modified via file renames.
  • Pre-Merge Auditing: Helps verify authorship and understand code ownership before integrating branches.
  • Use Case: Before merging a feature branch, use this Skill to confirm that all code attributed to a specific developer is correctly identified, even if refactoring occurred.

Quick Start

Find every file that author "Jane Doe" contributed to on branch feature/new-ui compared to main, tracing contributions through file renames.
