| name | google-dev-docs |
| version | 1.0.0 |
| description | This skill should be used when the user asks about official Google developer documentation, including Android, Firebase, Google Cloud, Chrome Extensions, Flutter, Dart, TensorFlow, Google AI (Gemini), web.dev, Google Ads, or Google Maps Platform. Triggers on questions like "how do I use Jetpack Compose", "Firebase Auth setup", "Cloud Run deployment guide", "Firestore security rules", "Flutter state management", "Chrome extension manifest v3", "TensorFlow model serving", "Gemini API tutorial", or troubleshooting errors from Google services. |
Google Developer Knowledge
Real-time access to official Google developer documentation via the Developer Knowledge API.
Tool Catalog (3 tools)

Critical Patterns
Document Name Format
Documents returned by search_documents include a name field (e.g., documents/firebase--firestore--manage-data--add-data). Use this exact value with get_document and batch_get_documents.
Parent Field
The search_documents tool accepts an optional parent parameter to scope searches to a specific domain. Example: search_documents(query: "auth email link", parent: "firebase"). The documents/ prefix is not needed — pass the domain key directly (e.g., android, firebase, cloud, flutter).
Effective Queries
- Use specific API/class names:
"Jetpack Compose LazyColumn" not "list in Android"
- Include product context:
"Firebase Auth email link sign-in" not "email login"
- For errors, include the error text:
"PERMISSION_DENIED Cloud Storage rules"
- Combine topic + action:
"Flutter platform channel invoke method"
Batch Limits
batch_get_documents accepts up to 100 document names per request. Group related documents for efficient retrieval.
