Query Lore git trailers from commit history to surface decision context.
Usage
Invoke the skill by name with optional arguments:
lore-query # Summarize all Lore trailers from recent commits
lore-query <trailer> # Query specific trailer type
lore-query <trailer> <path> # Scope to file or directory
Invocation syntax differs by agent CLI: /lore-query (Claude Code), $lore-query (Codex CLI), /skill:lore-query (Kimi Code), skill name or natural language (Qwen Code).
Natural language also works: "check recent constraints", "show me rejected alternatives for src/auth/", etc.
Trailer Shortcuts
The user may refer to trailers by Korean shortcut, English shortcut, or full trailer name. Map them as follows:
| Shortcut | Trailer |
|---|---|
| constraints, constraints | Constraint: |
| rejected, rejected | Rejected: |
| directive, directive | Directive: |
| not-tested, not-tested | Not-tested: |
| tested, tested | Tested: |
| confidence, confidence | Confidence: |
| scope-risk, scope-risk | Scope-risk: |
| reversibility, reversibility | Reversibility: |
| related, related | Related: |
Any unrecognized name is treated as a custom trailer (query it as-is).
How to Query
Specific trailer
Run this via your shell execution tool (e.g. Bash):
git log -n 20 --all --grep="^TRAILER_NAME:" --format="%h %s%n%b" -- [PATH]
Replace TRAILER_NAME with the mapped trailer name (e.g., Constraint). Omit -- [PATH] if no path was specified.
Then parse the output: for each commit, display the short hash, summary line, and only the matching trailer lines.
Summary mode (no trailer specified)
Run this via your shell execution tool (e.g. Bash):
git log -n 20 --format="%h %s%n%b"
Scan the output for any lines matching known Lore trailers (Constraint:, Rejected:, Directive:, Confidence:, Scope-risk:, Reversibility:, Tested:, Not-tested:, Related:). Only show commits that contain at least one Lore trailer.
Output Format
Present results as a compact list. Show the short commit hash and summary, then indent matching trailer lines below:
a1b2c3d Prevent silent session drops
Constraint: Auth service does not support token introspection
Constraint: Must not add latency to non-expired-token paths
f4e5d6c Add rate limiter to external API calls
Constraint: Rate limit 100 req/s on external API
If no Lore trailers are found, say so clearly: "No Lore trailers found in recent commits."
In summary mode, group output by commit (not by trailer type) to preserve decision context.
Notes
- Default limit is 20 commits. The user can request more.
- Path argument supports files and directories (e.g.,
src/auth/,src/api/handler.ts). - This skill is read-only — it never modifies commits or history.
