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.
