Overview

This skill lets you consult the official Claude Code documentation at docs.claude.com with selective fetching. It pulls only the specific pages or endpoints you need, avoiding large upfront downloads. Use it to get accurate, up-to-date guidance when implementing Claude Code hooks, skills, subagents, or MCP servers. It streamlines referencing official docs during development and debugging.

How this skill works

The skill accepts a targeted query or identifier for a documentation page and fetches the precise content from docs.claude.com. It parses the returned documentation and returns the relevant sections, such as endpoint details, parameters, responses, and examples. The fetch is selective and on-demand, minimizing latency and bandwidth compared to loading the full docs set. Results are presented in a concise, developer-focused format to support implementation tasks.

When to use it

  • Implementing or debugging a Claude Code hook, skill, or subagent and needing exact API specs.
  • Building an MCP server that must conform to Claude Code endpoints and payload formats.
  • Verifying parameter types, required fields, and example requests for a specific endpoint.
  • Confirming expected responses, error codes, and retry semantics for production code.
  • During code reviews to validate that implementation matches the official docs.

Best practices

  • Specify the exact endpoint or documentation section to fetch to get concise results.
  • Cache frequently accessed pages locally for short intervals to reduce repeated fetches.
  • Compare fetched doc snippets against your code during CI checks to catch drift early.
  • Use the skill for authoritative answers on parameters, examples, and response shapes.
  • Sanity-check complex examples by running them in a sandbox before production use.

Example use cases

  • Retrieve the /v1/skills/{skill_id} endpoint details to implement a skill lookup handler.
  • Fetch parameter and response examples for a Claude Code webhook used by an MCP server.
  • Confirm authentication and header requirements before integrating a new subagent.
  • Extract error code descriptions to map to your service's retry or alerting logic.
  • Quickly pull code snippets from the docs to include in developer setup guides.

FAQ

Does the skill download the entire documentation site?

No. It performs selective, on-demand fetches of only the pages or sections you request.

Are fetched pages kept up to date?

Yes. Each fetch retrieves the current live content from docs.claude.com; use caching cautiously and refresh when confirming breaking changes.
