FAQPage Schema
How do I ensure my code uses the current API documentation for third-party libraries?

Fetch up-to-date library and API documentation before generating code to avoid relying on outdated memory. Resolve the correct library ID, retrieve relevant documentation snippets, then generate code based on the docs with source citations.

Can I generate code for Next.js, React, FastAPI, or other frameworks without guessing the correct syntax?

Yes. Resolve the library ID for your framework (Next.js, React, Vite, FastAPI, Pydantic, etc.), fetch current documentation for your specific task, then generate code guided by that documentation rather than assumptions.

What's the best way to handle setup and configuration for npm or pip packages?

Look up the correct package ID, retrieve setup and configuration documentation for that package version, then generate installation steps and config files based on authoritative docs rather than memory.

How do I work with shadcn/ui, Tailwind, Supabase SDK, or other modern libraries accurately?

Modern libraries update frequently. Fetch current documentation for your library (shadcn/ui, Tailwind, Supabase SDK, PyMuPDF, pdfplumber, Anthropic SDK) to ensure code examples and patterns match the current release.

Why should I cite documentation sources when generating code?

Source citations ensure reproducibility and traceability. When code is generated from fetched documentation, citing the source version helps you and others understand what version the code targets and validates correctness.
