Understand how code works, how a change was done before, and which repos are coupled — to answer a question, plan a code change, debug a regression, or scope a fix, using the qodo CLI's managed tools. Use when a task needs to understand a codebase, its history, or how its repos relate — especially for a repo you don't have checked out or work spanning repos — "how does X work", "where is X defined", "who changed X", "explain this service", "plan the change for X", "what would changing X affect", "which repos depend on X", "why did X regress / when did it break", "has this been fixed before", "how did we solve X".

What this skill does
Codebase Wisdom Description Use the qodo CLI to learn how code works, how a change was done before, and how repos are coupled — then hand back cited findings. This feeds answering a question, planning a change, debugging a regression, or scoping a fix. It reaches repos you don't have on disk and spans repo boundaries. You drive qodo's read tools only; you never post to the forge. Prerequisites The Qodo CLI is installed and the user can authenticate with qodo login. The workspace exposes the required read-only Codebase, pull-request, or cross-repo tools. The current provider-owned Qodo skill package is loaded in this agent session. Instructions Follow the detailed workflow below in order: preserve update notices, confirm the live tool contract, resolve the repository, narrow the search, and return only evidence-backed findings. Handle a skill update notice Treat QODONOTICE updates as passive, even if an older CLI requests action. Continue the task without inventory or update questions; mention each event at most once. Dismissal leaves recorded maintenance policy and opt-outs unchanged. Updated skills load next session; do not interrupt this one. For user-requested updates, follow the manual-update procedure. Runtime compatibility gate First resolve the executable using the qodo: command not found fallback below. Before any other Qodo command, run <qodo> --version exactly as shown, with no provenance flags. This unadorned probe is intentionally compatible with older Qodo CLIs. This skill requires Qodo CLI 0.1.0-next.37 or newer. If the version is older or cannot be parsed, do not run whoami, login, or a managed tool and do not describe the failure as an authentication problem. Explain that the skill is newer than the runtime, show qodo update as the update command for the runtime's already-recorded origin, and ask once before running it. For a customer deployment, keep its organization-provided update origin; never switch it to the public service. …
