Interrogate Code Changes

Ask "why" instead of just reading code. Surfaces assumptions, decisions, and confidence levels.

Workflow

@context/workflows/interrogate.md

Input: $ARGUMENTS

Parse arguments to determine:

• Target: unstaged (default), staged, changes (staged+unstaged), commit <hash>, pr <number>, or range <ref1>..<ref2>
• Mode: --quick (minimal output) or --skeptical (extra validation)

Gather Context

Based on target, gather the code diff:

Target: unstaged (default)

git diff

Target: staged

git diff --cached

Target: changes

git diff HEAD

Target: commit

git show <hash>

Target: pr

gh pr diff <number>

Target: range ..

git diff <ref1>..<ref2>

Execute Interrogation

Apply the three core questions from the workflow to the gathered diff:

1. What was the hardest decision?
2. What alternatives did you reject?
3. What are you least confident about?

Mode Behavior

• Default: Full explanations with confidence levels and structured tables
• --quick: Compact table with brief answers only
• --skeptical: Full output plus follow-up probes:
  • "Walk me through the logic step by step"
  • "What edge cases could break this?"
  • "If this code has a bug, where is it most likely?"

Output

Format output per @context/workflows/interrogate.md#Output-Format based on selected mode.
