About this skill
The repo-grounding skill reads repository files, configs, and code paths to provide evidence‑based answers for code modifications, debugging, configuration analysis, or locating implementations within that specific repo. It prevents unnecessary scanning for generic questions and is used when a user requests repo‑specific actions.

repo-grounding
Activation gate (anti-noise)
Run only if the user asks for:
- Code change, refactor, fix, debug, performance work in THIS repo.
- Analysis of existing config/scripts.
- “Where is X implemented?” in this repo.
Skip if:
- Pure conceptual question (no repo action).
- The user wants a generic best-practice answer.
Procedure
- Identify likely files (paths mentioned, conventional locations).
- Read the minimum subset (start with entrypoints/config).
- Quote exact fragments when asserting repo facts.
- If a change is requested: propose plan with file list and exact edits.
Output
- Evidence-based: cite file paths + key excerpts + recommended edit plan.
