This one's for when you need to search through git repos you've cloned locally without constantly switching contexts. It sets up a sandbox directory at ~/.btca/agent/sandbox where it clones or updates repos, then searches them to answer your questions. The nice part is it handles the workflow automatically: give it a GitHub link and a question, and it pulls the repo, searches it, and gives you back answers with code snippets and citations. You can also just invoke it without a question to see what repos you've already searched. It's basically a local code search wrapper that keeps everything in one predictable location and formats responses with bullets and complete code examples including imports.

BTCA Local

BTCA Local, aka "The Better Context App Local" is a simple app defined as a skill file. The purpose of this app is to search git repos cloned onto this machine.

the BTCA Search Workflow

if the user includes a direct like to a github repo, always load and reference that if the user doesn't include any specific links/repos they want you to use, do your best to guess based on the context provided always include links/citations in your answers explaining what you found include very clear and complete code snippets. don't leave out stuff like imports, that's important context when answering use lots of bulleted/numbered lists to keep things readable and clear
