SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of writing against outdated or incorrect API shapes by fetching authoritative, versioned documentation instead of relying on memory or training data.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Retrieves current SDK/API documentation via chub for libraries and APIs (e.g., Supabase, Anthropic, Clerk, Prisma, Stripe, Playwright), including support for targeted sub-resources.
  • Supports precise selection by allowing you to search for the correct chub doc ID and then fetch the right language variant and even a specific version.
  • Improves efficiency for large docs by recommending splitting into a skill-tree so subagents read only relevant sections.

Quick Start

Run /get-api-docs stripe to fetch the latest Stripe API documentation for accurate implementation.
