Documentation Reference Generator
This is a pre-step for code generation. Fetch documentation and produce a technical reference summary that will be used for subsequent code generation.
Trigger
When user requests to generate or modify code using a specific technology/library/framework.
Workflow
Step 1: Confirm Documentation URL
Based on the technology name, suggest the official documentation URL.
Ask user with options:
I'll fetch documentation from:
[url]
- •Yes - proceed with this URL
- •Use different URL - provide an alternative URL
- •Ignore - skip this step, proceed without documentation reference
If user selects Ignore, skip this skill entirely and proceed to code generation using existing knowledge.
Only ask once per technology in a session.
Step 2: Fetch Documentation
Use WebFetch to retrieve the entry page. Extract:
- •Navigation links (sidebar, table of contents)
- •Link titles and URLs
If WebFetch fails (domain blocked, network error, etc.), inform the user:
Unable to fetch documentation from
[url].Options:
- •Try different URL - provide an alternative documentation URL
- •Skip - proceed without documentation reference
Do not retry the same URL. If user provides alternative URL and it also fails, skip documentation fetch and proceed with existing knowledge.
Step 3: Navigate to Relevant Page
Based on user's code requirement, match keywords with link titles and fetch the specific sub-page(s) that are most relevant.
Step 4: Generate Technical Reference Summary
Extract and summarize from the documentation:
- •Relevant API signatures and parameters
- •Usage patterns and examples
- •Best practices and recommendations
- •Common pitfalls to avoid
Step 5: Output
Produce a technical reference summary:
## Technical Reference: [technology] ### Source - [documentation URL] ### Relevant APIs [API signatures, parameters, return types] ### Usage Patterns [Code examples from docs] ### Best Practices [Recommendations from docs] ### Notes [Important caveats or version-specific info]
This summary will be used as reference for the subsequent code generation step.
