Use when writing code that calls an external API or library and you need accurate, current documentation to avoid hallucinating API signatures. Runs `chub` to fetch curated docs.
When you need API documentation for a library or service, use the `chub` CLI tool to fetch curated, versioned docs instead of guessing or searching the web. ## How to use chub 1. Search for available docs: ``` chub search "query" # e.g. chub search "stripe payments" chub search # list all available docs ``` 2. Fetch the doc you need: ``` chub get <id> --lang py # Python variant chub get <id> --lang js # JavaScript variant ``` 3. If the doc has multiple reference files and you only need one: ``` chub get <id> --file <filename> ``` 4. If you discover a gap or workaround, annotate it for future sessions: ``` chub annotate <id> "note about what was missing or how to work around it" ``` ## When to use this skill - Writing code that calls an external API (OpenAI, Stripe, Cloudflare, etc.) - Unsure about exact function signatures, parameters, or return types - The library has had breaking changes and you need the current version's docs ## When NOT to use - You already know the API well and are confident - The codebase has its own wrappers or examples you can follow - Simple standard library calls
