Glean Developer Documentation Guide
When users ask about developing with Glean, use the Glean Developer Docs MCP tools.
Tool Naming
Tools follow the pattern: mcp__glean_dev_docs__[tool]
docs_search- Search across documentationdocs_fetch- Get full page content
If tools unavailable, suggest running /glean-dev-docs:setup.
When to Use
- Glean API - endpoints, authentication, rate limits
- SDK usage - Python, JavaScript installation and examples
- MCP integration - server configuration, tool capabilities
- Platform concepts - indexing, search configuration, connectors
Tool Selection
| Need | Tool | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Find relevant docs | docs_search |
docs_search "API authentication" |
| Get implementation details | docs_fetch |
docs_fetch "https://developers.glean.com/docs/api/auth" |
Workflow
- Search first:
docs_search "user query terms" - Review results: Identify most relevant pages
- Fetch for details:
docs_fetch "[url]"for code examples - Cite sources: Always include documentation URLs
Query Tips
Good: "OAuth token refresh", "Python SDK search API"
Less effective: "authentication", "API", "how to use"
Differentiating from Enterprise Glean
This skill is for public developer documentation:
- How to build with Glean APIs/SDKs
- MCP configuration guides
For internal company data (Slack, email, internal docs), guide to glean-core plugins instead.

code-exploration
Use when the user asks about internal code, implementations, patterns across repositories, or needs to understand how something is built. Triggers on "how is X implemented", "where is the code for", "find the implementation of", "what repos contain", "who wrote the code for", or code architecture questions about internal systems.
15glean-tools-guide
Use when Glean MCP tools are available and you need guidance on which tool to use, how to format queries, or best practices for enterprise search. This skill provides tool selection logic and query optimization for Glean integrations. Auto-triggers when mcp__glean tools are being considered.
14activity-synthesis
Use when the user asks about their recent work, what they've been doing, their contributions, or needs to recall past activity. Triggers on phrases like "what have I been working on", "what did I do last week", "my recent activity", "what have I accomplished", "summarize my work", "what projects am I on", or when the user needs to recall or reflect on their own work.
13project-awareness
Use when the user asks about project status, ownership, or context. Triggers on phrases like "status of X project", "who owns Y", "what's happening with Z", "project update", "where does the project stand", "what's the state of", "who's working on", or when needing quick project context without a full analysis.
13people-lookup
Use when the user asks about people, employees, team members, org structure, or expertise. Triggers on phrases like "who works on", "who is responsible for", "who owns", "find someone who knows", "who should I talk to", "who reports to", "team members", "org chart", or any question starting with "who" about the company.
12enterprise-search
Use when the user asks about company documents, internal wikis, policies, specifications, design docs, RFCs, or enterprise knowledge. Triggers on phrases like "find the doc about", "what's our policy on", "where is the spec for", "company guidelines", "internal documentation", or when searching for information that would be in enterprise systems rather than the local codebase.
