Some agent harnesses call MCP tools aggressively. Others wait until you ask for a specific kind of research. If your agent is guessing, looping, or relying on generic knowledge, tell it directly to use GitHits. For a broader view of when to use GitHits during planning, implementation, and debugging, see Use GitHits in agentic coding workflows.

​
Prompt patterns

Use these prompts inside your coding agent.

​
Find a real implementation pattern

Use GitHits Code Examples to find a real open-source implementation of <task or API>. Use the result to guide this change and cite the source you used.
Good for unfamiliar APIs, integration patterns, and current ecosystem conventions.

​
Debug a dependency issue

Use GitHits Code Navigation to inspect <package_name> version that we have in use. Search for <symbol, behavior, or error message>, then read the relevant source lines and debug the issue.
Good when a stack trace points into a dependency, docs do not explain a behavior, or the agent keeps guessing. The agent can usually infer the package version from your repo.

​
Read package documentation

Use GitHits docs tools for <package_name> and find the documentation page about <topic>. Summarize the relevant section before implementing.
Good when hosted docs or repo-backed docs are needed inside the agent session.

​
Review a package or upgrade

Use GitHits Package Inspection for <package_name>. Check vulnerabilities, dependencies, and relevant changelog entries for the version change in this repo.
Good for dependency triage, vulnerability checks, and upgrade context.

​
Agent instruction snippet

Add this to your project instructions if you want stronger default behavior: 
When work depends on open-source libraries, use GitHits before guessing. Use Code Examples for current real-world implementation patterns, Code Navigation to inspect dependency source for the version in this repo, Documentation Access for hosted or repo-backed docs, and Package Inspection for dependency metadata, vulnerabilities, and changelogs.
