get-api-docs
From the author
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 Fetch the docs with chub before answering, rather than relying on your pre-trained knowledge, which may be outdated because of recent changes to these APIs.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.

- find-docsmxyhi/ok-skillsRetrieves 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the answer — do not rely on training data for API details, signatures, or configuration options as they are frequently outdated.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.Design★ 504
