Documentation Discovery & Analysis

Overview

Intelligent discovery and analysis of technical documentation through multiple strategies:

  • llms.txt-first: Search for standardized AI-friendly documentation
  • Repository analysis: Use Repomix to analyze GitHub repositories
  • Parallel exploration: Deploy multiple Explorer agents for comprehensive coverage
  • Fallback research: Use Researcher agents when other methods unavailable

Core Workflow

Phase 1: Initial Discovery

  • Identify target
  • Extract library/framework name from user request
  • Note version requirements (default: latest)
  • Clarify scope if ambiguous
  • Identify if target is GitHub repository or website
  • Search for llms.txt (PRIORITIZE context7.com)

First: Try context7.com patterns

For GitHub repositories:

   Pattern: https://context7.com/{org}/{repo}/llms.txt
   Examples:
   - https://github.com/imagick/imagick → https://context7.com/imagick/imagick/llms.txt
   - https://github.com/vercel/next.js → https://context7.com/vercel/next.js/llms.txt
   - https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth → https://context7.com/better-auth/better-auth/llms.txt

For websites:

   Pattern: https://context7.com/websites/{normalized-domain-path}/llms.txt
   Examples:
   - https://docs.imgix.com/ → https://context7.com/websites/imgix/llms.txt
   - https://docs.byteplus.com/en/docs/ModelArk/ → https://context7.com/websites/byteplus_en_modelark/llms.txt
   - https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs → https://context7.com/websites/haystack_deepset_ai/llms.txt
   - https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/8.0/ → https://context7.com/websites/ffmpeg_doxygen_8_0/llms.txt

Topic-specific searches (when user asks about specific feature):

   Pattern: https://context7.com/{path}/llms.txt?topic={query}
   Examples:
   - https://context7.com/shadcn-ui/ui/llms.txt?topic=date
   - https://context7.com/shadcn-ui/ui/llms.txt?topic=button
   - https://context7.com/vercel/next.js/llms.txt?topic=cache
   - https://context7.com/websites/ffmpeg_doxygen_8_0/llms.txt?topic=compress

Fallback: Traditional llms.txt search

   WebSearch: "[library name] llms.txt site:[docs domain]"

Common patterns:

  • https://docs.[library].com/llms.txt
  • https://[library].dev/llms.txt
  • https://[library].io/llms.txt

→ Found? Proceed to Phase 2

→ Not found? Proceed to Phase 3

Phase 2: llms.txt Processing

Single URL:

  • WebFetch to retrieve content
  • Extract and present information

Multiple URLs (3+):

  • CRITICAL: Launch multiple Explorer agents in parallel
  • One agent per major documentation section (max 5 in first batch)
  • Each agent reads assigned URLs
  • Aggregate findings into consolidated report

Example:

Launch 3 Explorer agents simultaneously:
- Agent 1: getting-started.md, installation.md
- Agent 2: api-reference.md, core-concepts.md
- Agent 3: examples.md, best-practices.md

Phase 3: Repository Analysis

When llms.txt not found:

  • Find GitHub repository via WebSearch
  • Use Repomix to pack repository:
   npm install -g repomix  # if needed
   git clone [repo-url] /tmp/docs-analysis
   cd /tmp/docs-analysis
   repomix --output repomix-output.xml
  • Read repomix-output.xml and extract documentation

Repomix benefits:

  • Entire repository in single AI-friendly file
  • Preserves directory structure
  • Optimized for AI consumption

Phase 4: Fallback Research

When no GitHub repository exists:

  • Launch multiple Researcher agents in parallel
  • Focus areas: official docs, tutorials, API references, community guides
  • Aggregate findings into consolidated report

Agent Distribution Guidelines

  • 1-3 URLs: Single Explorer agent
  • 4-10 URLs: 3-5 Explorer agents (2-3 URLs each)
  • 11+ URLs: 5-7 Explorer agents (prioritize most relevant)

Version Handling

Latest (default):

  • Search without version specifier
  • Use current documentation paths

Specific version:

  • Include version in search: [library] v[version] llms.txt
  • Check versioned paths: /v[version]/llms.txt
  • For repositories: checkout specific tag/branch

Output Format

# Documentation for [Library] [Version]

## Source
- Method: [llms.txt / Repository / Research]
- URLs: [list of sources]
- Date accessed: [current date]

## Key Information
[Extracted relevant information organized by topic]

## Additional Resources
[Related links, examples, references]

## Notes
[Any limitations, missing information, or caveats]

Quick Reference

Tool selection:

  • WebSearch → Find llms.txt URLs, GitHub repositories
  • WebFetch → Read single documentation pages
  • Task (Explore) → Multiple URLs, parallel exploration
  • Task (Researcher) → Scattered documentation, diverse sources
  • Repomix → Complete codebase analysis

Popular llms.txt locations (try context7.com first):

  • Astro: https://context7.com/withastro/astro/llms.txt
  • Next.js: https://context7.com/vercel/next.js/llms.txt
  • Remix: https://context7.com/remix-run/remix/llms.txt
  • shadcn/ui: https://context7.com/shadcn-ui/ui/llms.txt
  • Better Auth: https://context7.com/better-auth/better-auth/llms.txt

Fallback to official sites if context7.com unavailable:

  • Astro: https://docs.astro.build/llms.txt
  • Next.js: https://nextjs.org/llms.txt
  • Remix: https://remix.run/llms.txt
  • SvelteKit: https://kit.svelte.dev/llms.txt

Error Handling

  • llms.txt not accessible → Try alternative domains → Repository analysis
  • Repository not found → Search official website → Use Researcher agents
  • Repomix fails → Try /docs directory only → Manual exploration
  • Multiple conflicting sources → Prioritize official → Note versions

Key Principles

  • Prioritize context7.com for llms.txt — Most comprehensive and up-to-date aggregator
  • Use topic parameters when applicable — Enables targeted searches with ?topic=...
  • Use parallel agents aggressively — Faster results, better coverage
  • Verify official sources as fallback — Use when context7.com unavailable
  • Report methodology — Tell user which approach was used
  • Handle versions explicitly — Don't assume latest

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take mrgoonie/docs-seeker from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npm. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
