Automated summary
Fetches official documentation for a given technology and produces a structured technical reference summary to guide subsequent code generation.
Strengths
- Ensures use of up-to-date and accurate APIs
- Reduces model hallucination risks
- Provides a structured reference with APIs, patterns, and best practices
- Adapts dynamically based on the code requirements
Limitations
- Requires web access and may fail on blocked domains
- Only fetches entry pages and specific subpages, not the entire documentation
- Quality of summary depends on the structure of the official documentation
Use this skill when you need to write or modify code using a library, framework, or tool you are not fully familiar with, and you want to rely on official documentation.
Avoid this skill if you already know the API well or if the official documentation is not accessible online.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill only fetches documentation via WebFetch with user-confirmed URLs. No execution, no system modification, no exfiltration, and no obfuscated payloads.

How this analysis is madeExamples
I need to build a bar chart using D3.js. Please fetch the documentation and help me write the code.Help me set up a store with Zustand for my React app. Fetch the official docs first.name: read-doc description: Fetch official documentation before writing or modifying code. Use when user says "using X", "with X library", "create/build/implement/fix/update/refactor something with X", "help me with X", or mentions any library/framework/package name (like gsap, framer-motion, three.js, zustand, zod, etc.) and wants to write, modify, fix, or update code. allowed-tools: WebFetch
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.
From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/documentation-reference-generator-mmh8qqel/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/documentation-reference-generator-mmh8qqel' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/documentation-reference-generator-mmh8qqel/download' --output '.skill-downloads/documentation-reference-generator-mmh8qqel/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/documentation-reference-generator-mmh8qqel/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/documentation-reference-generator-mmh8qqel/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.
Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): WebFetch
No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.
The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.
For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.
openskills syncManual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.
4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/documentation-reference-generator-mmh8qqel/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
