What this skill does
What it does:
This skill answers questions about how a code project actually works right now, like where a certain value comes from, whether a feature exists yet, what would break if something changed, or who is responsible for a piece of behavior. It only reads the project, it never changes any files, settings, or history. Every claim it makes is backed up with the exact file and line number where the answer was found, and if it cannot find solid proof, it says so honestly instead of guessing. The answer is written as a normal, easy to follow explanation rather than a dry technical report, and it ends with a short summary you could copy and share with a teammate.
When to use it:
- You want to understand how something in a codebase actually works, without changing anything
- You need to know what would be affected if a certain piece of code changed
- You want a plain answer backed by proof, not a guess
It will not write code, make product decisions, or test things in an actual web browser, those belong to other tools.
