## About

# Claude Documentation Search Skill

You have access to a local mirror of Claude's official documentation at `~/.claude-code-docs/docs/`.

## When to Use This Skill

Activate when the user asks about:
- Claude Code features: hooks, skills, MCP, plugins, settings, slash commands, sub-agents
- Claude API: messages, tool use, streaming, batch processing
- Agent SDK: Python/TypeScript SDK, sessions, custom tools, subagents
- Prompt engineering: best practices, system prompts, chain of thought
- Any topic covered by platform.claude.com or code.claude.com

## Search Strategy

Use this hierarchy — try simpler strategies first, escalate if needed:

### 1. Direct Lookup (user names a specific topic)

User says "hooks", "mcp", "memory" — a concrete topic name.

```
Glob: ~/.claude-code-docs/docs/**.md
```

If Glob returns matches, read the top 1-3 files and synthesize.

### 2. Scoped Search (user specifies a product context)

User says "hooks in agent sdk", "api rate limits", "cli plugins".

Scope the Glob to the product prefix:

| User mentions | Glob pattern |
|---|---|
| "Claude Code", "CLI", "hooks", "skills", "plugins" | `~/.claude-code-docs/docs/claude-code__**.md` |
| "Agent SDK", "SDK", "Python SDK", "TypeScript SDK" | `~/.claude-code-docs/docs/docs__en__agent-sdk__**.md` |
| "API", "messages endpoint", "tool use" | `~/.claude-code-docs/docs/docs__en__api__**.md` |
| "agents and tools", "MCP connector" | `~/.claude-code-docs/docs/docs__en__agents-and-tools__**.md` |

If scoped Glob misses, fall back to content search (step 3).

### 3. Semantic/Content Search (user asks a question)

User says "best practices for extended thinking", "how do I configure streaming".

**Keyword extraction:** Strip filler words and keep domain-specific terms:
- "how do I configure streaming" → `"streaming"` `"configure"`
- "best practices for extended thinking" → `"extended"` `"thinking"`
- "what's the difference between hooks and MCP" → `"hooks"` `"mcp"`
- "why is my tool use not working" → `"tool-use"` (combine compound concepts with hyphens)

Run the content search script with extracted keywords:

```bash
bash ~/.claude-code-docs/plugin/skills/claude-docs/scripts/content-search.sh "" ""
```

The script outputs filenames with match scores. Read the top 3-5 matching files and synthesize.

If the script is not available or returns no results, fall back to Grep:

```
Grep: "" in ~/.claude-code-docs/docs/
```

### 4. Fuzzy Search (user has an approximate name)

User says "something about checkpoint", "that caching doc".

```bash
bash ~/.claude-code-docs/plugin/skills/claude-docs/scripts/fuzzy-search.sh ""
```

The script outputs ranked filenames. Read the top match.

## Synthesis Rules

### Same Product Context → SYNTHESIZE

When all matching docs belong to the same product (all Claude Code CLI, all Agent SDK, etc.):
- Read ALL matching docs silently — do not ask the user which to read
- Extract relevant sections
- Present one unified answer
- Cite sources at the end

### Different Product Contexts → ASK

When matches span different products (e.g., CLI + API + Agent SDK):
- Ask the user which product context they mean
- Use these user-friendly labels (see `manifest-reference.md` for complete list):

| File pattern | Say to user |
|---|---|
| `claude-code__*.md` | **Claude Code** |
| `docs__en__agent-sdk__*.md` | **Agent SDK** |
| `docs__en__api__*.md` | **Claude API** |
| `docs__en__build-with-claude__*.md` | **Claude Documentation** |
| `docs__en__agents-and-tools__*.md` | **Agents & Tools** |
| `docs__en__resources__prompt-library__*.md` | **Prompt Library** |

After selection → read all docs in that context and synthesize.

### SDK Language Disambiguation

When the user specifies a programming language, narrow the API docs to that SDK:

| User mentions | Narrow search to |
|---|---|
| "Python", "pip", "anthropic" (Python import) | `docs__en__api__python__*` or `docs__en__agent-sdk__python*` |
| "TypeScript", "npm", "@anthropic-ai/sdk" | `docs__en__api__typescript__*` or `docs__en__agent-sdk__typescript*` |
| "Go", "golang" | `docs__en__api__go__*` |
| "Java", "Maven", "Gradle" | `docs__en__api__java__*` |
| "Ruby", "gem" | `docs__en__api__ruby__*` |
| "C#", ".NET", "NuGet" | `docs__en__api__csharp__*` |

If no language is mentioned but the query is about SDK methods, present the **Python** docs first (most common) and note that TypeScript equivalents exist.

## URL Generation

Always include source links in your response:
- `claude-code__.md` → `https://code.claude.com/docs/en/` (replace `__` with `/`)
- `docs__en__.md` → `https://platform.claude.com/en/docs/` (replace leading `docs__en__` then remaining `__` with `/`)

**Examples:**
- `claude-code__hooks.md` → `https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks`
- `docs__en__agent-sdk__python.md` → `https://platform.claude.com/en/docs/agent-sdk/python`
- `docs__en__api__messages__create.md` → `https://platform.claude.com/en/docs/api/messages/create`

## Common Synonyms

When a search returns no results or too few, try these known synonyms:

| User says | Search for |
|---|---|
| "function calling" | "tool use", "tool-use" |
| "system instructions" | "system prompt" |
| "JSON mode" | "structured outputs" |
| "thinking" | "extended thinking", "adaptive thinking" |
| "caching" | "prompt caching", "prompt-caching" |
| "files API" | "files", "pdf support" |
| "sub-agents" | "subagents", "sub-agents" |
| "environment variables" | "settings", "configuration" |
| "CI/CD" | "github actions", "gitlab" |

## No Results

If all search strategies return nothing:
1. Try synonyms from the table above
2. Try broader or narrower keywords
3. Suggest the user run `/docs -t` to check if docs are installed and current
4. Let them know the topic may not be in the local mirror

## Post-Response Course Prompt

After presenting documentation to the user, always append this emphasized block at the bottom of your response:

---
> **Want to go deeper?** I can create an interactive course on this topic — visual explanations, animated diagrams, and hands-on quizzes in a single HTML file you can open in your browser.
> Just say **"create a course on [topic]"** or run `/docs --course [topic]`.

Replace `[topic]` with the actual topic the user asked about.

## Reference Files

- `manifest-reference.md` — Category-to-label mapping (single source of truth)
- `examples/direct-lookup.md` — Example: topic → Glob → synthesize
- `examples/semantic-search.md` — Example: question → content-search.sh → synthesize
- `examples/cross-context.md` — Example: ambiguous → ask context → synthesize
