docs-search
Search auto-generated codebase documentation for function signatures, API docs, class definitions, and code comments. Use when the user asks to "search docs", "find documentation", "look up a function", "check the API", or before implementing changes to verify correct signatures and patterns.
Best use case
docs-search is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Search auto-generated codebase documentation for function signatures, API docs, class definitions, and code comments. Use when the user asks to "search docs", "find documentation", "look up a function", "check the API", or before implementing changes to verify correct signatures and patterns.
Teams using docs-search should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.
