SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables teams to quickly extract authoritative ownership, placement, and constraint information from an existing Intent Layer to answer questions about a codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Ownership queries: locate the primary owner for a given concept by scanning AGENTS.md nodes and ancestors.
  • Placement and constraints: suggest optimal locations for new components and summarize inherited constraints from CLAUDE.md.
  • Entry points and navigation: identify documented entry points and recommended navigation paths for common tasks.
  • Interactive guidance: outline parallel and cross-cutting query approaches for large Intent Layer graphs.

Quick Start

Try a sample query such as "Who owns authentication?" or "Where should I add a new API route?" using the plugin's query workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions about intent-layer-query

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find code ownership and constraints from AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md files?▼

Query the Intent Layer to answer codebase questions by scanning AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md hierarchies, locating authoritative nodes, merging inherited constraints from ancestors, and presenting results in standardized sections.

What is the best way to determine where to place a new component in a codebase?▼

The best way to determine component placement is querying the Intent Layer to suggest optimal locations by summarizing inherited constraints from CLAUDE.md and scanning AGENTS.md ownership nodes for authoritative guidance.

How do I identify documented entry points and navigation paths using an Intent Layer?▼

Identify documented entry points and recommended navigation paths by querying the Intent Layer architecture to answer common codebase navigation questions across the AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md hierarchies.

Does the Intent Layer approach work for large codebase architecture graphs?▼

Yes, the Intent Layer approach works for large architecture graphs by outlining parallel and cross-cutting query approaches to handle extensive AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md hierarchies effectively.

When do I need to query an Intent Layer for codebase architecture questions?▼

You need to query an Intent Layer when you must extract authoritative ownership, placement, constraints, entry points, pitfalls, and architecture information from existing AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md documentation hierarchies.
