SinachPat 0dae13cfd3 feat: add pstack-style rigor skill family for Zed
- wursor-precheck: router skill, entry point for non-trivial tasks
- wursor-principles: 21 engineering principles adapted for Wursor
- wursor-tdd, wursor-bug-fix, wursor-feature, wursor-investigation,
  wursor-review, wursor-decision-log: playbook skills
- AGENTS.md: repo guide wiring the skill routing table
- Fix: double-quote YAML frontmatter descriptions (colon-space in
  plain scalars broke Zed's skill loader)

description: "A read-only question about the Wursor codebase, product, or architecture. How does X work, why was Y built this way, what does module Z depend on. Read code, docs, and history; answer with evidence and citations to files and lines. Adapted from pstack's /how and /why skills."

# Wursor Investigation
Answer a read-only question about how the Wursor codebase works, or why it was built the way it was. No code changes.
## When to use
Use this skill when:
- The user asks "how does X work?" — a walkthrough of a subsystem
- The user asks "why was Y built this way?" — a rationale for a past decision
- The user asks "are we sure Z?" — a verification of an assumption
- A task starts with understanding before changing, and the understanding is the deliverable
## Playbook
### Step 1 — Restate the question in concrete terms
Translate the user's question into a specific, checkable claim. "How do sandboxes work?" becomes "What are the states a sandbox passes through, and which code drives each transition?"
### Step 2 — Read the code, not the summaries
- Find the relevant module. Read its source and its tests.
- Follow the call graph two levels out: who calls this module, what does it call?
- For architecture questions (why is this shaped this way), read the PRD and IMPLEMENTATION for the lock-in notes, then check history for the pivot.
### Step 3 — Gather evidence
Collect:
- File paths and line numbers for every claim
- Actual function signatures and state transitions
- Test names that prove the current behavior
- For "why" questions: the commit or doc that recorded the decision
### Step 4 — Answer with citations
Every claim in the answer must point at a file and (where possible) a line or symbol. No answer of the form "it uses a manager" — show the manager, its interface, and its caller.
### Step 5 — Flag uncertainty
If a claim is not verifiable from the repo (behavior depends on an external system, a decision predates the current docs), say so explicitly. Do not pad with plausible-sounding unverified detail.
## Output shape
```
## How X works
- [file.ts:12](../api/src/file.ts#L12) — this is the entry point
- ...walk the path...
## Why it's shaped this way
- PRD v2.0 §8.1 — the non-technical-first pivot forced the chat-preview-approve loop
## Things I could not verify
- ...explicit list...
```
