From the source SKILL.md

When dropped into an unfamiliar codebase or asked to fix something in code you don't know — run this sequence before doing anything else. The principle: most "clarification" questions are answered by 5 minutes in the relevant file. If the answer is in the code, the docs, or the file tree — find it there before asking.
