Install

Add the repository(one-time)

/plugin marketplace add bartolli/codanna-plugins

Argument

<symbol-name> "<question>"

Command Content

Context

Symbol to analyze: $1

User's question: $2

Your task

Use the Bash tool to fetch symbol information, then answer the user's question.

Workflow:

Execute: node .claude/scripts/codanna/context-provider.js symbol $1
Analyze the symbol details returned (includes [symbol_id:123] for all symbols)
Answer the question: "$2"

When answering:

Reference actual code locations (file:line_range)
Explain relationships (calls, called_by, implements, defines)
Use the signature and documentation from the symbol
Be specific about how the symbol is used in the codebase

Following relationships:

Use <symbol_name|symbol_id:ID> for follow-up queries
Commands: calls, callers, describe accept either format

Focus on what the code actually shows, not general programming principles.
