SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? AI training data goes stale, so answers about fast-moving APIs, SDKs, frameworks, and deployment platforms are often wrong. This Skill routes questions to current official documentation and configured local operational context instead of relying on memory. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Source-ordered lookup: Prioritizes configured local context, repo docs, official product docs, API references, and release notes over community sources. - Local operational routing: Resolves environment-specific questions such as private DNS or Cloudflare record ownership and credential storage locations via the configured local context file, without exposing secrets. - Safe handoff boundaries: Identifies the source of truth, then hands infrastructure inspection or mutation to operator skills like infra-ops or launchplane. - Use Case: When asked how to add a Bing verification CNAME for a product domain, the Skill locates the private DNS authority through local context routing, then directs live record changes to the infra-ops operator skill. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to look up the current official documentation for the library, API, or platform your task depends on before making any changes.

Frequently Asked Questions about docs-lookup

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I find current documentation for an API or framework?

Identify the exact technology and version from local manifests like package.json or pyproject.toml, then search official product docs, API references, and release notes. Compare the documented behavior against local code before making changes.

How do I find where a DNS or Cloudflare record is managed?

Check the configured local context file for the local infrastructure docs path, which identifies the private DNS or Cloudflare authority. Do not scan repo .env files or shell history first; hand live record changes to the infra-ops operator skill.

When should I not use a docs lookup workflow?

Skip it for stable facts answerable directly from checked-in repo code or docs, and for infrastructure mutations, rollbacks, or production changes. Those belong to operator skills such as infra-ops or launchplane.

Can I use Context7 or other docs CLIs for library documentation?

Yes, tools like Context7, chub, or vendor MCP docs tools can help find library and API docs when installed. Do not install a global CLI for a small question, and strip private code or credentials from any query.

How are credentials and API tokens located safely?

Use the local infrastructure docs credentials index to find the owner, storage location, and rotation path for a secret. Read values only from the named location, never print them, and pass them to commands through standard input.
