SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Finding accurate answers inside large codebases is slow when you have to manually clone, update, and grep through repositories. This Skill manages a local sandbox of git repos and searches them to answer your questions with complete, cited code snippets. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Local Repo Management: Clones or updates git repositories into a dedicated working directory at ~/.btca/agent/sandbox, defaulting to the main branch. - Contextual Code Search: Searches cloned repos to answer questions, always including links, citations, and complete code snippets with imports. - Startup Dashboard: When invoked without a question, lists all previously cloned repos so you know what context is already available. - Use Case: Ask how a specific function works in an open-source library you depend on; the Skill clones the repo, finds the implementation, and explains it with full code excerpts and file references. ## Quick Start Use btca to explain how authentication works in the github.com/user/repo repository.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search a git repository locally with an AI assistant?▼

Invoke the skill with a question and a git repo link. It clones or updates the repo into ~/.btca/agent/sandbox, searches the code, and returns an answer with complete code snippets and citations.

How do I search code across multiple cloned repositories?▼

All repos are stored in the shared sandbox directory ~/.btca/agent/sandbox, so previously cloned repos remain available. Invoke the skill without a question to list everything already cloned, then ask questions against any of them.

Can I search a specific branch instead of main?▼

Yes. The skill clones the main branch by default, but you can specify a different branch in your prompt and it will clone that branch instead.

What happens if the repository is already cloned?▼

The skill updates the existing clone rather than re-cloning it, keeping the local copy current before searching. This avoids redundant downloads and speeds up repeated queries.

What are the limitations of searching local git repos?▼

The skill only searches repos that have been cloned to the local machine, so private repos require local access credentials. Very large monorepos may also make broad searches slower and less precise.
