meow:docs-finder

Script-driven documentation retrieval via Context7, Context Hub, and web fallback with 3000-token budget management.

What This Skill Does

meow:docs-finder solves the stale documentation problem. LLM training data has a cutoff date — APIs evolve faster than models retrain. Instead of hallucinating function signatures, this skill fetches verified, current documentation from multiple sources and returns it in a structured, token-efficient format. All the heavy work (URL construction, HTTP fetching, JSON parsing) is done by Node.js scripts — Claude only reviews and improves the final result.

Core Capabilities

• Multi-source routing — Context7 for broad library coverage, Context Hub (npx chub) for curated/language-specific docs, direct llms.txt fetch as fallback
• Script-first approach — 4 Node.js scripts handle scanning/fetching/categorizing; Claude reviews the output
• Query classification — Detects whether you're asking about an external library or internal project docs
• Topic-scoped queries — Context7's ?topic= parameter returns only the relevant section, not the whole library
• Context budget — 3000 tokens inline max. Overflow written to .claude/memory/docs-cache/ with summary returned
• Memory integration — API quirks saved to memory/lessons.md for future sessions

When to Use This

Use meow:docs-finder when...

• You need current API documentation for a library
• You want to verify function signatures before writing code
• You're looking for internal project specs or API docs
• Training data might be outdated for the library you're using

Usage

# Library docs
/meow:docs-finder vue suspense

# Internal project docs
/meow:docs-finder our API auth spec

# Specific topic
/meow:docs-finder stripe webhook verification python

Example Prompts

Prompt	Source route	What you get
docs for Next.js caching	Context7 (topic-scoped)	Caching-specific docs only
how does Pinia work	Context7 (general)	Full Pinia documentation index
find our API auth spec	Local project search	Project docs matching "auth" + "API"
stripe webhooks python	Context Hub (--lang py)	Python-specific Stripe webhook docs

Quick Workflow

Query → detect-source.js (classify: library vs internal)
  → fetch-context7.js or fetch-chub.js (retrieve docs)
  → analyze-results.js (budget check: ≤3000 tokens?)
  → Return structured output or write to docs-cache/
