**Examples:**

* "What does the function \[function name] do in the \[repository name] repository?"
* "Who wrote the \[specific module] and when?"
* "What are the dependencies for \[specific service]?"
* "Summarize the purpose of \[specific repository]."

***

## **5. Research Past Projects**

Get summaries of past RFCs, initiatives, KPIs, and next steps.

**Examples:**

* "What were the key decisions made in the \[project name] RFC?"
* "Summarize the goals and outcomes of the \[initiative name] project."
* "What were the KPIs tracked for \[specific feature]?"
* "What are the pending tasks for \[project name]?"

***

## **6. Find Experts in the Team**

Identify team members with domain-specific knowledge for guidance on projects or issues.

**Examples:**

* "Who worked on the \[specific feature] implementation?"
* "Who can help with debugging \[specific issue]?"
* "Who has experience with \[specific framework or tool]?"

***

## **7. Troubleshoot Deployment Issues**

Resolve deployment roadblocks by accessing internal documentation, runbooks, and cloud provider resources.

**Examples:**

* "What are the steps to deploy to \[environment name]?"
* "What does the error \[error code] mean in our deployment pipeline?"
* "Where can I find the runbook for \[specific service]?"
* "What are the rollback procedures for \[specific deployment]?"

***

* "What are the steps to set up a CI/CD pipeline for \[project name]?"
* "How do I configure \[specific tool] for our project?"

***

## **9. Onboard New Engineers**

Help new hires ramp up quickly by providing access to documentation and key resources.

**Examples:**

* "What is the branching strategy for our Git repositories?"
* "Where can I find the documentation for \[specific service]?"
* "What are the coding standards for our team?"
* "What are the key tools and technologies used in our projects?"

***

## **10. Improve Code Quality**

Maintain high standards of code quality by accessing best practices and conducting code reviews.

**Examples:**
