Documentation research

Skill krzemienski/shannon/skills/documentation-research

Fetch and cite current upstream documentation for every external dependency in scope. ALWAYS use before writing code against an external SDK/framework/API/CLI, during forge Phase 2, or whenever training data may be stale. Produces ISO-8601-stamped source files under evidence/documentation-research/ and a SUMMARY.md citing 3-5 verified facts per source. Refuses memory-only references — every external fact must cite a sources/ file.From its SKILL.md

documentation-research

Phase 2 of /shannon:forge. Grounds every external dependency claim in fetched documentation, not training-data recall.

Behavior contract

Produces evidence/documentation-research/<run-id>/ containing:

  1. sources/ — raw markdown of each fetched documentation page, named <source>-<ISO-8601-timestamp>.md.
  2. SUMMARY.md — citing 3-5 verified facts per source, each linking to the local sources/ filename.
  3. README.md + INDEX.md.

Methodology

For each external dependency identified by codebase-analysis:

  1. Prefer context7 MCP for library docs (current, version-aware).
  2. Fall back to WebFetch against the canonical docs URL.
  3. Save the raw markdown to sources/<lib>-<timestamp>.md.
  4. In SUMMARY.md, write 3-5 facts with [source: sources/<file>] inline citations.

When to use

  • Phase 2 of /shannon:forge.
  • Before any SDK / API integration.
  • When training data may be stale (recently released libraries, breaking changes in current major).

When NOT to use

  • Pure internal-codebase work with no external deps.
  • Already-fetched docs < 7 days old (cite the existing source file instead).

Iron rules

  • Refuse memory-only references. Every external-fact claim must cite a sources/ file.
  • ISO-8601 timestamps mandatory. Stale docs are surfaced, not silently used.
  • No invented URLs. WebFetch only against URLs the user provided or context7 returned.
