fetching-library-docs

Fetching library documentation efficiently minimizes token usage by retrieving only essential content—code examples, API signatures, and key notes—rather than full verbose docs. This Skill uses MCP tools to filter and present focused library guidance for frameworks like React, Next.js, and Prisma.

Yes. This Skill fetches targeted documentation for React hooks, Next.js routing syntax, Prisma database queries, Express APIs, and similar library features. Use the fetch-docs script with `--library` and `--topic` flags to retrieve concise guidance on specific topics.

Deterministic fetching and token filtering deliver compact library guidance by extracting only relevant examples and API references. The fetch-docs script applies these techniques automatically, returning concise outputs suited for code context.

This Skill fetches external library documentation for frameworks and packages, not internal repository data. It's designed for library-usage queries—how to use React, Next.js, Prisma—not for exploring your own codebase.

Run `bash scripts/fetch-docs.sh --library [name] --topic [topic]` to retrieve targeted docs. For example, `bash scripts/fetch-docs.sh --library react --topic hooks` or `bash scripts/fetch-docs.sh --library prisma --topic "getting started" --mode info` returns filtered, token-efficient content.

The Skill supports major libraries including React, Next.js, Prisma, Express, and others. Supported libraries are passed via the `--library` flag in the fetch-docs script; refer to the script documentation for the full list.
