SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

External documentation research is time-consuming and error-prone when sources aren't verifiable. This skill helps researchers obtain official documentation and external resources with verifiable citations, ensuring every claim can be traced to a source.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Retrieve official API documentation, library/framework references, GitHub implementations, and package details with citations.
  • Enforce a strict citation rule: every claim must include a source URL and be traceable to a primary resource.
  • When queries mix internal code exploration with external research, split tasks and handle each part with the appropriate tooling.

Quick Start

Ask the librarian to fetch official documentation with citations for your API or library question.

FAQPage Schema
How do I retrieve official API documentation with verifiable citations?

Retrieve official API documentation with verifiable citations by querying the librarian skill, which enforces strict citation rules and requires a source URL for every claim. It fetches primary resources for software engineering and data analysis tasks.

What is the best way to find primary sources for library references and GitHub implementations?

Finding primary sources for library references and GitHub implementations is handled by the librarian skill, which applies strict source-verification workflows to ensure every external resource is traceable to an official primary resource.

Does every claim from external documentation research need a source URL?

Yes, every claim from external documentation research requires a source URL. The librarian skill enforces a strict citation rule mandating that all official documentation and external resources are fully traceable to primary sources.

Can I mix internal code exploration with external documentation research in one query?

Mixing internal code exploration with external documentation research triggers task splitting. The librarian skill separates mixed queries, handling external research with appropriate source-verification tooling while routing internal code tasks separately.

What types of external resources can I fetch for architecture planning and best practices?

Fetch official documentation, API references, package details, and best practices for architecture planning. The librarian skill targets external resources applicable to software engineering and data analysis, enforcing citation rules for verifiable results.
