read-unmodified-c-module

Read unmodified C module sources using git show to fetch the baseline header and implementation files directly from the repository. This captures the original state of both .h and .c files before any modifications, enabling accurate audits and comparisons.

Yes. Fetch both header and implementation files for any module path to verify original behavior during debugging or auditing. The skill automatically resolves module paths and applies src/ prefix handling for consistent access to unmodified sources.

Establish a baseline by reading the unmodified source of headers and implementations via git show master:<module path>. Comparing current code against original sources ensures patches target only intended changes and preserves baseline behavior.

Read unmodified module sources from the repository master branch to establish baseline state, then compare side-by-side with current implementations. This workflow identifies exactly what has changed and validates intended modifications.

Yes. The skill automatically handles module path resolution, treating paths without explicit src/ prefixes as located in the src directory. Both header and implementation files are fetched consistently across nested paths.

Reading unmodified sources from git show establishes a trusted baseline before changes, essential for auditing patch accuracy, debugging against known-good state, and ensuring modifications don't introduce unintended side effects.
