SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ground answers in the repository by reading relevant files, configs, and code paths. Use when the user asks to modify/debug code, configuration, CI/CD, or wants repo-specific reasoning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evidence-based reasoning by quoting exact fragments from the workspace.
  • Helps diagnose configuration issues, code paths, and CI/CD setups with traceable references.
  • Use case: When asked where a feature is implemented or how to fix a specific bug, identify the relevant files and present a concrete plan.

Quick Start

Locate the relevant entrypoint files and read the referenced repo paths to ground your answer.

FAQPage Schema
How do I trace code paths and find exact fragments for repo-specific debugging?

To trace code paths for repo-specific debugging, identify relevant entrypoint files and read referenced repo paths to ground your answer. This approach applies evidence-based reasoning by quoting exact fragments from the workspace, ensuring traceable references for diagnosing issues.

What is repo-backed reasoning and when do I need it for modifying code?

Repo-backed reasoning is the process of grounding answers by reading relevant files, configs, and code paths. You need it when modifying or debugging code, configuration, or CI/CD setups, ensuring that proposed changes are based on exact fragments from the workspace.

Can I diagnose CI/CD configuration issues using repository files?

Yes, you can diagnose CI/CD configuration issues by locating relevant entrypoint files and reading the referenced repo paths. This grounds your diagnosis with traceable references, quoting exact fragments from the workspace to identify configuration problems.

What's the best way to propose a concrete edit plan for a bug fix?

The best way to propose a concrete edit plan for a bug fix is to identify the relevant files where the feature is implemented, quote exact fragments from the workspace, and present a concrete modification plan grounded in repository evidence.

Does evidence-based reasoning work for finding feature implementations in a workspace?

Yes, evidence-based reasoning works for finding feature implementations by reading relevant files, configs, and code paths within the workspace. It identifies entrypoints and quotes exact fragments to precisely locate where specific features are implemented.
