# Take Me There Skill

Open the file (and line, when known) most relevant to the current conversation context in the user's preferred editor, reusing the existing window when possible.

## Editor detection — in this order

1. `$VISUAL` if set and on `$PATH`.
2. `$EDITOR` if set and on `$PATH`.
3. `code-insiders` if on `$PATH`.
4. `code` if on `$PATH`.
5. `cursor` if on `$PATH`.

If none of these are available, tell the user and stop. Don't fall back to a non-GUI editor.

## Open command

The supported editors all accept the same flags:

```bash
<editor> -r -g "<file>:<line>"
```

- `-r` reuses the current window instead of opening a new one.
- `-g "<file>:<line>"` opens at the specified line.

If `$VISUAL` or `$EDITOR` resolves to an editor that uses different syntax, use that editor's documented invocation.

## Determining what to open

If the user provides a specific file and line via `$ARGUMENTS`, use those. Otherwise, determine the most relevant file and line from conversation context — for example:

- A recent edit you just made.
- A file/line referenced in a code review comment.
- A symbol mentioned in the last few turns.

When ambiguous, ask the user which file they meant before opening.

## Why this matters

Jumping straight to a precise line in the editor often beats reading a code excerpt in chat — the editor handles syntax, scrollback, and surrounding context better than a chat client does. Especially valuable for users who navigate code with a screen reader, since editors expose code structure (symbols, sections, indentation) more reliably than chat output.
