Quantum software development is iterative and error-prone. Noisy hardware and repeated re-execution make experiment tracking, provenance, and reproducibility essential, yet these practices are hard to adopt because of tooling complexity and the specialized knowledge they demand. General-purpose language models can help but tend to hallucinate and lack grounding in domain-specific tooling. We present Qlippy, a retrieval-augmented GenAI assistant embedded in the development environment that grounds its responses in a curated corpus of quantum-software-engineering knowledge. Qlippy explains reproducibility and provenance concepts in context and augments existing Qiskit programs with MLflow-based experiment tracking aligned to the QProv schema. By separating knowledge from model parameters, grounding gives explicit control over the scope and provenance of the assistant's responses and reduces reliance on model scale, which points toward low-cost, privacy-preserving local deployment.
