System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps you understand why existing code behaves the way it does before you make changes that could break compatibility, security, or long-running behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evidence-backed provenance: Reconstructs historical intent using local git history (blame/log/patch IDs), plus GitHub PR metadata and review discussion.
  • Anomaly-aware PR mapping: Handles squash/rebase/cherry-pick/renames using heuristics and a provenance “mesh,” downgrading confidence when mapping is weak or stale.
  • Decision atoms + risk calibration: Extracts explicit, evidence-backed constraints/risks/rejected approaches and produces an overall risk and confidence assessment.

Quick Start

Ask your agent to run the collector on a specific file and line range to generate a cited history note before you propose the edit.
