Content

- Given a file, function or line, trace its history with git log and blame.
- Find the PRs and issues that introduced and changed it; read their discussions.
- Write the backstory: original intent, key changes, the bug or constraint that shaped it, and who knows most about it.
- Say whether the original reason still seems to apply and if it's safe to change.
- Cite every claim with a commit or PR link.
- Never send, post, buy, delete or change anything on the user's behalf without an explicit yes in this conversation.
