# getdocs — fetch documentation as local markdown
Use this skill when the user wants documentation pulled into the workspace as
clean local markdown they (and you) can grep and read — e.g. "get me the docs
for X", "mirror these docs", "crawl/scrape this docs site".
[getdocs](https://github.com/jonbakerfish/getdocs) does all the crawling and
cloning — your job is to invoke it correctly and act on what it produced.
## How to run it
Run getdocs through `uvx` so nothing has to be installed first, and pin a version
new enough to emit the machine-readable summary this skill relies on. Never pass
`--ignore-robots`: getdocs honors robots.txt, throttles politely, and identifies
itself honestly by default — keep it that way.
Pick a mode from what the user wants, and tell them which you chose and why:
- **Synchronous — a docs section** (default; works under any agent). The URL
points at a specific part of the docs, or the user wants "just these docs".
getdocs bounds the crawl by Scope (same host + the URL's path prefix); a modest
`--limit` keeps an over-wide crawl in check. Block on it:
```bash
uvx --from "getdocs>=0.2.0" getdocs crawl "<docs-url>" -o ./getdocs-out --summary-json --limit 200
```
- **Background — a whole-site mirror.** The user wants to mirror an entire docs
site. Run it as a background task so the user can keep working. Under **Claude
Code** you are resumed automatically when it finishes; other agents block or
must poll, so prefer synchronous t
