What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers quickly find the definitions, properties, and usage of ArduPilot parameters within the C++ source code, streamlining debugging and development.

Core Features & Use Cases

Parameter Definition Lookup: Find the @Param: documentation block for any given parameter name.
Variable Declaration Identification: Locate the corresponding C++ variable declaration (e.g., AP_Int16).
Usage Analysis: Understand where a parameter is declared and how it's used in the codebase.
Use Case: When a user asks "What is the default value for RTL_ALT and where is it defined?", this Skill can find that information.

Quick Start

Use the find-param skill to find the definition for the parameter RTL_ALT.
