# Xia Study, compare, and prepare adaptation work from another repository without becoming a second workflow stack. This is a helper skill only. - Do use it for repo-to-repo feature study, comparison, source manifests, dependency mapping, challenge-first trade-off review, and adaptation prep. - Do use it when the user wants to borrow behavior, structure, UX flow, or implementation ideas from another repo and needs a grounded comparison before deciding what to do. - Do not use it to write code, create plans automatically, or bypass the project's planning and execute approval. - Do not use upstream shortcut modes or retired upstream planning/execution command semantics here. ## Approved Modes Only two narrowed modes survive in this kit: - `--compare` - side-by-side analysis only - produce a durable reference or report - `--adapt` - deeper adaptation-prep analysis for the local stack - still stops before planning or implementation Default mode is `--adapt`. ## Core Principles - understand before copy - challenge before plan - adapt, do not transplant - stop before planning or coding ## Workflow ```text [1. Recon] -> [2. Map] -> [3. Analyze] -> [4. Challenge] -> [5. Recommend and Stop] ``` Hard gate: - phase 4 must complete before any implementation recommendation - if the challenge phase exposes major stack or contract drift, downgrade to `--compare` - `xia` never hands off directly to implementation ## Output Policy Default output destination: - durable ...
