why
Use for 'why does X work this way', 'why we picked Y', design rationale, regressions, postmortems, or data-backed thresholds. Discovers available MCPs and queries each evidence category (source control, issue tracker, long-form docs, real-time chat, infrastructure observability, error tracking, product analytics warehouse, shared agent memory) in parallel, then returns a cited read on decisions and tradeoffs. Use how for runtime behavior.
