About wiki-qa
A skill for answering repository questions using source-code evidence only, with inline file and line citations. It is intended for developers investigating files, functions, or components.
Key features
- 01Search and read relevant source files
- 02Synthesize answers from code evidence
- 03Cite files and line numbers inline
- 04Identify files to inspect when evidence is insufficient
Use cases
- 01Trace how a function or component works
- 02Locate a definition in a repository
- 03Answer codebase questions from source

Details
From the project READMEWiki 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
- Detect the language of the question; respond in the same language
- Search the codebase for relevant files
- Read those files to gather evidence
- 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.
Example
User request:
Answer this repository question using only source-code evidence, with direct file and line references.
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.
