Agent skill

Reconstruct why a line of code exists from Git history — find the originating commit, read its message and full diff for intent, and see through reformatting/rename commits with ignore-revs and the pickaxe — before you change or delete it. Use when a line looks wrong or pointless and you want to remove it, when tracing a regression to its commit, or when onboarding to unfamiliar code.
