Routing Work With Code Ownership

Routing Work With Code Ownership

Overview

Use CodeScene ownership data to route work to the right people. This skill helps an agent connect files or directories to likely reviewers and domain experts.

When to Use

• The user asks who should review or own a change.
• The workflow needs likely experts for a file, directory, or subsystem.
• The agent needs to connect refactoring recommendations to responsible people.

Do not use this skill to rank technical debt. Use prioritizing-technical-debt for that.

Quick Reference

• select_project: Establish the correct project context if needed.
• code_ownership_for_path: Retrieve likely owners and their key paths for a file or directory.

Implementation

1. Establish the correct project context.
2. Run code_ownership_for_path for the relevant file or directory.
3. Present likely owners with their key areas.
4. Use the ownership result to recommend reviewers, escalation paths, or stakeholders.

Common Mistakes

• Using repository intuition instead of ownership data when the tool is available.
• Treating ownership as an absolute truth instead of a strong signal.
• Omitting the path context when the subsystem spans multiple files.
