Ref Skill

Quick start

Goal: search for documentation pages and read the exact page content as markdown.

Core workflow:

1. mcp__Ref__ref_search_documentation
2. mcp__Ref__ref_read_url

Reference notes: skills/ref-skill/references/ref-skill.md

When to use it

• You need official docs or API reference pages.
• You need direct documentation URLs before reading content.
• You want documentation search rather than generic web search.

Workflow

1. Search with a query that names the language, framework, or library.
2. Pick the most relevant result.
3. Read the exact returned URL with ref_read_url.

Guardrails

• ref_read_url should receive the exact URL from search results.
• Use Ref for documentation, not for general news or opinionated web search.
• If you need the latest facts outside docs, switch to a real web search tool.
