The outcome
Answer or implement cross-repository tasks with useful context and auditable access boundaries.
Step by step
A workflow you can repeat.
- 01
List the exact repositories, data owners, users, task types, retention needs, and sensitive paths required for the cross-repository workflow.
- 02
Connect repositories through the organization administration flow, enable indexing only where approved, and restrict each repository to named users or groups.
- 03
Confirm index freshness and exclusions, then test retrieval with specific repository names, file paths, known answers, and deliberately unauthorized questions.
- 04
In agent prompts, request the multi-repository tool explicitly and constrain the service, component, branch, and evidence needed for the current task.
- 05
Review retrieved context and final edits, audit membership regularly, remove stale repositories promptly, and revalidate access after organizational changes.
Working standard
What good use looks like.
- Index only approved repositories.
- Use repository-specific prompts.
- Audit access and index freshness.
