The purpose and workflow passages below are upstream material, organized and translated for reading. They are distinct from the separately labeled Codez editorial analysis.
What this Skill does
Query decomposition and multi-source search orchestration. Breaks natural language questions into targeted searches per source, translates queries into source-specific syntax, ranks results by relevance, and handles ambiguity and fallback strategies.
How the upstream workflow works
Step 1: Identify Query Type
Classify the user's question to determine search strategy:
Upstream passage · L31 ↗Step 2: Extract Search Components
From the query, extract: Keywords: Core terms that must appear in results Entities: People, projects, teams, tools (use memory system if available) Intent signals: Decision words, status words, temporal markers
Upstream passage · L45 ↗Step 3: Generate Sub-Queries Per Source
For each available source, create one or more targeted queries: Prefer semantic search for: Conceptual questions ("What do we think about...") Questions where exact keywords are unknown
Upstream passage · L55 ↗"What did we decide about the API migration timeline?"Requirements and setup
No short requirements passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill has no dependencies. Check the repository setup instructions and referenced files.
Limits and quality checks
No separate limits passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill is safe for every input or environment. Review the complete source and validate your own result.
Start with a safe trial
- Check the supported host and the repository installation instructions. Keep the Skill directory and its referenced scripts, assets and documentation together; SKILL.md alone may omit dependencies.
- Give the agent your real input, desired output and acceptance criteria. Invocation syntax and available tools depend on the host; this site does not assume a universal install command.
- Try the source workflow in a disposable project or on a copy. Review operations that change files, remote services or billable resources before allowing them.
- Validate the output against the source quality checks and your own requirements. A successful trigger or a high repository Star count does not establish a correct result.
