This skill includes comprehensive documentation in references/:
Use view to read specific reference files when detailed information is needed.
Start with references/getting_started.md for foundational concepts on creating your first GitHub Pages site.
See references/custom_domains.md for DNS configuration and HTTPS setup.
Check references/jekyll.md for theme customization and Jekyll-specific features.
Review references/troubleshooting.md for common issues like 404 errors.
To refresh this skill with updated documentation:
GitBook documentation platform. Use when creating, publishing, or managing docs sites — content structure, blocks, Git Sync, customization, AI search, collaboration, and the GitBook API.
MemPalace local-first AI memory system. Use when setting up persistent memory for Claude Code sessions, mining project files or conversation transcripts, querying past context, configuring MCP tools, managing the knowledge graph, or troubleshooting palace operations.
LangChain AWS integration — ChatBedrockConverse (Claude/Nova/Llama/Mistral on Bedrock), BedrockEmbeddings, AmazonKnowledgeBasesRetriever, BedrockAgentsRunnable, BedrockRerank, BedrockPromptCachingMiddleware, CodeInterpreterToolkit, BrowserToolkit (computer use), Neptune graph chains, and SageMaker endpoint.
LangChain Deep Agents (Python) — build, deploy, and customize stateful long-running agents with virtual filesystems, subagents, human-in-the-loop, and LangSmith observability. Also covers LangGraph, LangChain OSS chains/retrievers, and Agent Server API.
LangChain Exa integration — semantic web search with ExaSearchRetriever (RAG), ExaSearchResults (agent tool), and ExaFindSimilarResults (find similar URLs). Unique features: use_autoprompt (LLM query rewriting), highlights (excerpts), summary (per-result LLM summaries), livecrawl (real-time), and date filtering.
LangChain MCP Adapters — connect LangChain agents to MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. Load MCP tools, prompts, and resources as LangChain-compatible objects. Supports stdio, SSE, StreamableHTTP, and WebSocket transports. Includes interceptors, callbacks, and multi-server management.
