name: fetch-library-docs description: Fetches official documentation for external libraries and frameworks (React, Next.js, Prisma, FastAPI, Express, Tailwind, MongoDB, etc.) with 60-90% token savings via content-type filtering. Use this skill when implementing features using library APIs, debugging library-specific errors, troubleshooting configuration issues, installing or setting up frameworks, integrating third-party packages, upgrading between library versions, or looking up correct API patterns and best practices. Triggers automatically during coding work - fetch docs before writing library code to get correct patterns, not after guessing wrong.

Library Documentation Skill

Fetches official library documentation with 60-90% token savings.

WHEN TO INVOKE (Auto-Detection)

INVOKE AUTOMATICALLY when:

DO NOT INVOKE when:

• Already have sufficient knowledge from training
• User pasted docs or has them open
• Task is about local/private code (use codebase search)
• Comparing libraries (use web search)

---

DECISION LOGIC

1. Identify Library

CopyPriority: User mention → Error message → File imports → package.json → Ask user

Examples:

• PrismaClientKnownRequestError → library = "prisma"
• import { useState } from 'react' → library = "react"
• from fastapi import FastAPI → library = "fastapi"

2. Identify Topic

CopyPriority: User specifies → Error message → Feature being implemented → "getting started"

3. Select Content Type

---

EXECUTION

Copy# With known library ID (faster - saves 1 API call)
bash scripts/fetch-docs.sh --library-id <id> --topic "<topic>" --content-type <types>

# With library name (auto-resolves)
bash scripts/fetch-docs.sh --library <name> --topic "<topic>" --content-type <types>
