FAQPage Schema
How do I search official documentation for reliable coding guidance?

To search official documentation for coding guidance, activate the Skill using the #ref trigger to identify and surface authoritative public sources like official docs and GitHub repos. It grounds technical answers by retrieving relevant API references and code examples.

Can I search internal private documentation and PDFs?

Yes, you can search internal private documentation and PDFs by using the ref_src=private parameter. This allows the Skill to retrieve references from internal repositories and private resources via a dedicated MCP server.

How do I read the full content of a specific documentation URL as markdown?

You can read the full content of a specific documentation URL as markdown by using the ref_read_url trigger. This fetches and converts the web page content into markdown for easier technical reference and summarization.

What is the best way to ground API references from multiple sources?

The best way to ground API references from multiple sources is to use this Skill to cross-reference public documentation and GitHub repositories. It enforces provenance and safety checks to ensure the retrieved coding guidance is accurate and reliable.

Does this documentation search work without any external dependencies?

Yes, the documentation search operates without external dependencies listed in its configuration. It internally manages retrieval across public and private resources using a dedicated MCP server to enforce source provenance.
