Robot Framework Libdoc Explain
Use this skill to retrieve detailed keyword docs and argument usage from Robot Framework libraries/resources/suites. Output JSON only.
Command
Explain a keyword in standard libraries:
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/rf_libdoc.py" --library BuiltIn --keyword "Log" --pretty
Explain across multiple sources:
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/rf_libdoc.py" --library SeleniumLibrary --resource resources/common.resource --keyword "Open Browser" --pretty
Fallback to search if exact keyword not found:
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/rf_libdoc.py" --library SeleniumLibrary --keyword "Open Brows" --search "open browser" --pretty
Notes
- Use
--library, --resource, --suite, or --spec (repeatable). Inputs are aggregated.
- Output contract (stable): every call returns
{schema_version, mode, libraries, results, ...}.
mode is "explain" (exact keyword found), "fallback" (no exact match → search suggestions), "search", or "list".results is a single array; read it without branching on top-level keys. Each item is {library, keyword, usage, score, reasons} — usage is populated on explain/fallback, score/reasons on search; non-applicable fields are null.usage.params is [{name, type, default, kind}] with kind ∈ required|optional|vararg|kwarg|named_only (name is the bare param, no : type); usage.defaults is keyed by bare name.
- Payload is bounded: library prose
doc is not included by default. Pass --include-library-doc to add each library's full doc/source to libraries[].
- Use
--tag, --include-private, --exclude-deprecated as filters.
