What problem does it solve? Manually studying another GitHub project and porting its useful patterns into your own codebase is slow and error-prone. This Skill structures that process into a repeatable protocol that analyzes your codebase, ingests a reference repo, identifies gaps, and adapts patterns while respecting your project's coding rules. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured 6-phase protocol: Know your codebase, ingest the reference repo with repomix, run gap analysis, confirm targets with the user, adapt the pattern, then save and commit the result. - Constraint-aware adaptation: Reads your CLAUDE.md coding rules first and applies them to every line of adapted code, matching your naming conventions and style. - Persistent borrow history: Stores adapted patterns in .claude/xia/patterns/ and maintains a XIALOGUE.md log tracking your project's evolved state across sessions. - Use Case: You want to add retry logic like the one in a popular open-source CLI tool. Run the protocol against that repo, review the gap analysis table, confirm the target, and get an adapted implementation committed to your project. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run /xia with a GitHub repo URL and an optional focus keyword to borrow a pattern into the current project.
