Research the codebase to answer questions. Search for relevant files, gather context, and provide clear answers.

AI-generated overview

Researches a codebase to answer questions, gathering context and citing files with line numbers.

What it does: This skill guides an agent through investigating a codebase to answer a question: searching for relevant files, functions and patterns, reading the necessary files, and gathering context with available tools. It then produces a clear, direct answer formatted in Linear-compatible markdown, with collapsible sections, code references including file paths and line numbers, and Linear profile URLs for @mentions. It is an instructions-only skill with no bundled scripts.
When to use it: Use it when someone asks a question about an existing codebase and the answer must be found by searching and reading the code rather than by writing or changing it. It suits producing a documented, reference-backed explanation for a reader in a Linear context.
Requirements: No scripts or packages are bundled; it relies on the agent's own search and file-reading tools. The answer format assumes Linear-compatible markdown and, for @mentions, access to Linear profile URL context.

Research the codebase and provide a clear, direct answer to the question.

Present in Linear-compatible markdown
Use +++Section Name\n...\n+++ for collapsible sections with detailed information
Include code references with file paths and line numbers
For @mentions, use the Linear profile URL format from <assignee> context (e.g. https://linear.app/<workspace>/profiles/<username>)
Be complete but concise — answer the question directly without unnecessary preamble
