Frequently Asked Questions about tech-qa

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I get cited explanations for technical questions about APIs?▼

To get cited explanations for APIs, you ask a technical question and receive a sourced answer researched from authoritative sources. The explanation leads with the answer and includes live-source citations for verification.

What is the best way to understand how a specific library or tool works in isolation?▼

The best way to understand how a library or tool works in isolation is to request a concept-definition explanation. The system researches authoritative sources to deliver structured reasoning about the mechanism and provides citations.

Can I use this to get debugging steps and project-specific guidance for my codebase?▼

No, you cannot use this to get debugging steps or project-specific guidance. Built-in deferral rules strictly avoid project-specific guidance, limiting responses to general explanations of how things work, what concepts mean, or how to use APIs.

Does the technical explanation include sources for verifying architecture concepts?▼

Yes, the technical explanation includes sources for verifying architecture concepts. It satisfies requirements for live-source citations, ensuring that every explanation of architecture or concepts is backed by authoritative references.

When should I avoid using a research-backed tech explanation tool?▼

You should avoid using a research-backed tech explanation tool when you need debugging steps, project-specific guidance, or implementation help within your own codebase. Strict deferral rules limit the scope to general concepts and isolated API usage.
