wiki-qa
Answer repository questions grounded entirely in source code evidence. Use when user asks a question about the codebase, user wants to understand a specific file, function, or component, or user asks "how does X work" or "where is Y defined".
Best use case
wiki-qa is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt. It is especially useful for teams working in multi.

Answer repository questions grounded entirely in source code evidence. Use when user asks a question about the codebase, user wants to understand a specific file, function, or component, or user asks "how does X work" or "where is Y defined".
Users should expect a more consistent workflow output, faster repeated execution, and less time spent rewriting prompts from scratch.
Practical example
Example input
Use the "wiki-qa" skill to help with this workflow task. Context: Answer repository questions grounded entirely in source code evidence. Use when user asks a question about the codebase, user wants to understand a specific file, function, or component, or user asks "how does X work" or "where is Y defined".
Example output
A structured workflow result with clearer steps, more consistent formatting, and an output that is easier to reuse in the next run.
When to use this skill
- Use this skill when you want a reusable workflow rather than writing the same prompt again and again.
When not to use this skill
- Do not use this when you only need a one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- Do not use it if you cannot install or maintain the related files, repository context, or supporting tools.

# Wiki Q&A Answer repository questions grounded entirely in source code evidence. ## When to Use - User asks a question about the codebase - User wants to understand a specific file, function, or component - User asks "how does X work" or "where is Y defined" ## Procedure 1. Detect the language of the question; respond in the same language 2. Search the codebase for relevant files 3. Read those files to gather evidence 4. Synthesize an answer with inline citations ## Response Format - Use `##` headings, code blocks with language tags, tables, bullet lists - Cite sources inline: `(src/path/file.ts:42)` - Include a "Key Files" table mapping files to their roles - If information is insufficient, say so and suggest files to examine ## Rules - ONLY use information from actual source files - NEVER invent, guess, or use external knowledge - Think step by step before answering ## When to Use This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview. ## Limitations - Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above. - Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review. - Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
