Documentation Discovery

Output style: Follow process/development-protocols/communication-standards.md, answer-first, plain language, no unexplained jargon, TL;DR on long responses.

Overview

Use Context7 MCP as the default path for documentation lookup. The local scripts in this skill are fallback helpers for llms.txt-based discovery when Context7 does not cover the target cleanly.

Primary Workflow

Default workflow: Context7 first

1. Resolve the library with Context7.
2. Query the exact API/config/setup question with Context7.
3. Only fall back to the scripts below when Context7 coverage is missing, incomplete, or the user explicitly wants llms.txt/repository-oriented discovery.

Fallback script workflow:

# 1. DETECT query type (topic-specific vs general)
node scripts/detect-topic.js "<user query>"

# 2. FETCH documentation using script output
node scripts/fetch-docs.js "<user query>"

# 3. ANALYZE results (if multiple URLs returned)
cat llms.txt | node scripts/analyze-llms-txt.js -

Scripts handle URL construction, fallback chains, and error handling automatically.

Scripts

detect-topic.js - Classify query type

• Identifies topic-specific vs general queries
• Extracts library name + topic keyword
• Returns JSON: {topic, library, isTopicSpecific}
• Zero-token execution

fetch-docs.js - Retrieve documentation

• Constructs context7.com URLs automatically
• Handles fallback: topic → general → error
• Outputs llms.txt content or error message
• Zero-token execution

analyze-llms-txt.js - Process llms.txt

• Categorizes URLs (critical/important/supplementary)
• Recommends agent distribution (1 agent, 3 agents, 7 agents, phased)
• Returns JSON with strategy
• Zero-token execution
