Source code lookup

source-code-lookup helps when a task depends on how another codebase, dependency, service, or API behaves. It locates the relevant source, checks the applicable revision, and returns focused evidence with file references. Work and Autonomous load it when that investigation is needed.

Typical requests include:

• /work Check how our HTTP client retries timeouts before changing this code
• /work Find where this event is produced in the companion service
• /autonomous Verify the upstream API contract before planning the migration

The slash form is conceptual; invoke the workflow through the syntax your client supports in installation and client setup. You do not normally invoke this supporting skill directly. Describe the dependency or repository and the behavior the task needs to establish. The workflow checks the configured source root and repository identity, then inspects the relevant revision. If the canonical repository is missing, it may clone it into the configured source root for reuse. The result identifies the repository URL, exact inspected commit, relevant files, and any version uncertainty. If the repository or behavior is ambiguous, the workflow asks for the missing repository or revision details before treating the lookup as reliable.

The authoritative lookup procedure is in the source-code-lookup skill. Its configuration is covered in setup.
