What problem does it solve? Code changes made from assumptions cause rework, broken callers, and missed edge cases. This Skill enforces a mandatory pre-flight workflow that gathers full context — symbols, callers, database state, docs, and conventions — before any code exploration, editing, or code-related answer. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Mandatory Pre-Flight Checkpoint: Blocks code exploration, read/edit/write operations, and code answers until the target is clarified and context is gathered. - Six-Step Context Workflow: Clarify target, discover symbols via code navigation tools, map the codebase and database, fetch current documentation, analyze conventions, and verify readiness before acting. - Trivial-Task Fast Path: Skips the deep scan only for single-file mechanical changes with no cross-module callers, verified by a reference check. - Use Case: Before fixing a bug in a payment module, the Skill requires locating the implementation, mapping callers with find_references, checking the database schema and sample rows, and confirming conventions — only then planning the fix. ## Quick Start Invoke the context-gathering skill before reading or editing any code in this repository.
