SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Technical answers often rely on outdated or mismatched documentation, causing developers to use deprecated APIs or mix examples from incompatible major versions. This Skill ensures answers are grounded in the correct, version-specific official documentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Library Identity Resolution: Identifies the exact library, framework, product, and version from the request or current project before querying documentation.
  • Bounded Documentation Retrieval: Asks focused documentation questions and keeps retrieved context small and relevant, preferring API references, migration guides, and official examples matching the installed version.
  • Version-Safe Answers: Explains answers with relevant API names and version constraints while distinguishing documented behavior from inference.
  • Use Case: When asked how to configure routing in a project, the Skill first resolves the exact framework version in use, retrieves the matching official docs, and answers using only APIs valid for that version.

Quick Start

Resolve the library and version used in this project, then pull the matching official documentation to answer my question about its API.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get version-specific documentation for a library?▼

First identify the exact library, framework, and version from your project or request, then resolve the library identity before querying documentation. This ensures retrieved API references and examples match your installed version.

How to avoid mixing examples from incompatible major versions?▼

Resolve the library version first and only retrieve documentation matching that version. Prefer official migration guides and API references for your version, and never combine examples across incompatible major releases.

What documentation sources should I prefer for API questions?▼

Prefer official API references, migration guides, and official examples that match your installed version. Keep the retrieved context bounded by asking focused documentation questions rather than pulling broad unrelated material.

Can I claim undocumented behavior as guaranteed in answers?▼

No. Answers should distinguish documented behavior from inference and cite relevant API names with version constraints. Undocumented behavior should never be presented as guaranteed.

Why do technical answers fail when documentation versions mismatch?▼

APIs change between major versions, so examples from a different version may reference removed or renamed methods. Resolving the exact library version before querying documentation prevents these mismatches.
