verify-external-api-docs

You verify API behavior by triggering this skill during coding tasks to validate method signatures, parameters, return values, and exceptions against official online documentation. It checks primary sources to confirm correct API usage and reduce guesswork.

API verification for external libraries ensures accuracy during implementation, refactoring, debugging, migration, and code review. It validates exact API details like method signatures, options, and deprecations against official documentation to guarantee compatibility and correctness.

You need to check official documentation for third-party API usage when coding tasks depend on exact external API details. This includes updating codebases, migrating frameworks, or debugging, where confirming correct usage ensures compatibility and prevents errors.

Yes, you can validate deprecated methods and parameters in external frameworks. The skill verifies API details including deprecations, method signatures, parameters, and exceptions against official documentation to ensure your code remains compatible and correct.

The best way to confirm correct API signatures during a codebase migration is to trigger this skill. It cross-references external library APIs against official documentation, providing verified facts on method signatures and return values to ensure migration correctness.

No, API verification requires access to official documentation and primary sources to function. It relies on querying these external references to validate exact API behavior, method signatures, and parameters during implementation, refactoring, or debugging tasks.
