get-api-docs

Solid

Use this skill to get documentation for third-party APIs, SDKs or libraries before writing code that uses them to ensure you have the latest, most accurate documentation. This is a better way to find documentation than doing web search. This includes when a user asks for tasks like "use the OpenAI API", "call the Stripe API", "use the Anthropic SDK", "query Pinecone", or any other time the user asks you to write code against an external service and you need current API reference. Fetch the docs with chub before answering, rather than relying on your pre-trained knowledge, which may be outdated because of recent changes to these APIs. Be sure to use this skill when the user asks for the latest docs, latest API behavior, or explicitly mentions chub or Context Hub. Ensure `chub` is available, run `chub --help`, then follow the instructions there.

# Get API Docs via chub When you need documentation for a library or API, fetch it with the `chub` CLI rather than guessing from training data. This gives you the current, correct API. ## Step 1 - Ensure chub exists and get the latest instructions for using it Run ```bash chub --help ``` If this results in an error showing that chub does not exist, then install it first, and run it again. If the environment has node, npm, network access, and package-manager permission, install it as follows: ```bash npm install -g @aisuite/chub ``` ## Step 2 — Find the right documents If there is a conflict, follow the instructions from the output of chub --help since that will be the latest guidance. However, a key command for searching for the right documentation is chub search: ```bash chub search "<keywords>" --json ``` Pick the best-matching `id` from the results (e.g. `openai/chat`, `anthropic/sdk`, `stripe/api`). If nothing matches, try some broader terms. ## Step 3 — Fetch the docs Again, follow the latest instructions from chub --help instead of this if there is a conflict. But a key command for fetching the relevant docs is: ```bash chub get <id> --lang py # or --lang js, --lang ts ``` Remember to include the --lang parameter. ## Step 4 — Use the docs and leave feedback Read the fetched content and use it to write accurate code or answer the question. Do not rely on memorized API shapes — use what the docs say. Finally, after completing the task, if you discovere...

openai-docs

Use when the user asks how to build with OpenAI products or APIs and needs up-to-date official documentation with citations, help choosing the latest model for a use case, or model upgrade and prompt-upgrade guidance; prioritize OpenAI docs MCP tools, use bundled references only as helper context, and restrict any fallback browsing to official OpenAI domains.

find-docs

Retrieves up-to-date documentation, API references, and code examples for any developer technology. Use this skill whenever the user asks about a specific library, framework, SDK, CLI tool, or cloud service -- even for well-known ones like React, Next.js, Prisma, Express, Tailwind, Django, or Spring Boot. Your training data may not reflect recent API changes or version updates. Always use for: API syntax questions, configuration options, version migration issues, "how do I" questions mentioning a library name, debugging that involves library-specific behavior, setup instructions, and CLI tool usage. Use even when you think you know the answer -- do not rely on training data for API details, signatures, or configuration options as they are frequently outdated. Always verify against current docs. Prefer this over web search for library documentation and API details.
