What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Read other local repositories beside the current git repo as read-only context for cross-repo work. Use for shared types, APIs, schemas, SDKs, generated clients, env vars, feature flags, and contract alignment across repos. Trigger when another local repo may exist at ../repo-name. Do not use for remote-only or current-repo-only tasks.

Other Repo

Treat other local repos as read-only extensions of the current workspace.

Workspace

repo_root=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
parent_dir=$(dirname "$repo_root")
current_repo=$(basename "$repo_root")

find "$parent_dir" -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d \
  ! -name "$current_repo" -print | sort

Stay inside "$parent_dir" only.

Resolve a target repo

target="$parent_dir/TARGET_REPO"

[ -d "$target" ] || {
  echo "Missing target repo: $target" >&2
  exit 1
}

git -C "$target" status --short --branch

Mention dirty state or non-main branches when relevant.

Search fast

Prefer rg. Avoid ls -R.

# files
rg --files "$target"

# symbol / endpoint / type search
rg -n "createSession|SessionRequest|FEATURE_X" \
  "$repo_root" "$target" \
  --glob '!**/{node_modules,dist,build,target,.next}/**'

Read focused slices only:

nl -ba "$target/path/to/file.ts" | sed -n '40,120p'

Best search order

For contracts and shared behavior:

schema / OpenAPI / proto / GraphQL
exported types
routes / handlers
SDK or generated client
call sites

Search definition shapes first:

rg -n "export\s+(type|interface|class|function|const)\s+NAME\b" "$target"

Rules

Read-only by default.
Do not edit, install, build, test, fetch, pull, switch branches, or commit in other repos unless explicitly requested.
Avoid secrets and real .env files.
Prefer .env.example, schemas, and docs.
Report evidence with paths and line numbers.
If no matching repo exists, say what was checked.
