FAQ

When should I use this skill?

You should use this skill whenever you are creating or debugging Claude Code hooks, building new skills, configuring subagent parameters, or troubleshooting MCP server integrations that require precise API references.

Does this skill provide the most up-to-date information?

Yes. By fetching live data from the official Claude Code documentation map and specific markdown files, it ensures that your implementation follows the latest API changes, parameters, and best practices released by Anthropic.

How does this skill improve token efficiency?

Unlike static prompts that include massive amounts of documentation, this skill uses 'selective fetching.' It identifies exactly which documentation file is needed (such as hooks-guide.md) and retrieves only that specific content, significantly reducing token usage.

What is the Claude Docs Consultant skill?

The Claude Docs Consultant is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to retrieve real-time, official documentation directly from docs.claude.com. It allows Claude to reference the most current guides for hooks, subagents, and MCP servers without manual searching.

Can it help me find documentation I don't know the name of?
