Does this skill work with private GitHub repositories?

Yes, as long as the underlying Code Understanding MCP server has the necessary permissions and credentials to access the repository.

How do I specify a different branch for exploration?

You can use the --branch argument followed by the branch name (e.g., --branch develop) to analyze code outside of the default main branch.

What happens if a repository is too large for the context window?

The skill includes a strict token guardrail capped at 24,000 tokens. This ensures that the source map remains within a range that can be returned inline rather than being saved to a separate file.

Can I analyze specific directories within a repository?

Yes, you can use the --dirs flag followed by a comma-separated list of directories to focus the analysis on specific parts of the codebase.
