What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps engineers quickly understand an existing codebase, discover patterns, and prepare for implementation by surfacing documentation, tasks, and code insights in one place.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Centralized research workflow: query documentation, fetch related tasks, and identify reusable components across the repository.
- Pattern discovery: extract existing design patterns, code structures, and decisions to guide future work.
- Onboarding acceleration: rapidly acclimate to unfamiliar codebases for new team members or feature work.
Quick Start
Search docs for a topic with mcp__knowns__search_docs({ "query": "<topic>" }), view a related document with mcp__knowns__get_doc({ "path": "<path>", "smart": true }), pull matching tasks with mcp__knowns__search_tasks({ "query": "<keywords>" }), inspect a task with mcp__knowns__get_task({ "taskId": "<id>" }), and perform a code search using find/grep commands to locate relevant code.
