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".

Low-risk findings worth noting
The skill exposes the agent to untrusted, user-generated content from public third-party sources, creating a risk of indirect prompt injection. This includes browsing arbitrary URLs, reading social media posts or forum comments, and analyzing content from unknown websites.
The skill reads GitHub repositories, issues, and pull requests via the `qodo` CLI tools (e.g., `list-issues`, `get-issue`, `list-prs`, `get-pr`), which ingest outsider-authored free text from untrusted external contributors.
