Git Investigate Skill

Trigger

  • Keywords: code history, git blame, track changes, who wrote this, when was it changed, root cause, code archaeology

When NOT to Use

  • Code review (use codex-review)
  • Feature development (use feature-dev)
  • Just want to read code (use Read directly)

Command

bash
/git-investigate src/service/xxx.ts:123      # Specific line
/git-investigate processToken                 # Function name
/git-investigate "error message"              # Keyword

Workflow

Locate code -> git blame -> find commit -> trace history -> analyze changes -> report

Investigation Framework

Question Method
Who wrote it? git blame
When was it changed? git log --follow
Why was it changed? commit message + PR
What was missed? git diff compare original vs problematic version

Common Patterns

Pattern Symptom Root Cause
Type removed Enum value deleted Assumed no longer needed
Condition simplified If conditions reduced Missed during refactoring
Rename Partially unchanged Incomplete search-and-replace
Boundary ignored Only handles main flow Edge cases not considered

Output

markdown
## Git Investigation Report
- **Target**: <file/feature>
- **Timeline**: <commit range>
- **Root cause**: <analysis>
- **Introduced by**: <commit hash + author>

Verification

  • Report includes: investigation target, author info, timeline, original vs problematic code
  • Root cause has clear analysis
  • Fix recommendation is specific and actionable

References

  • references/commands.md - Git command reference + report template

Examples

Input: Who changed this line of code?
Action: git blame -> find commit -> trace PR -> output report
Input: When was this bug introduced?
Action: git log -p -S -> locate introduction point -> analyze cause -> output report
