Fetch Documentation Skill

When you need to understand a library or API, work through this fallback chain. Stop as soon as you have what you need.

1. Read installed source — check .venv/lib/python3.*/site-packages/ for method signatures and types. Fast, but won't have usage examples.
2. Try llms.txt — fetch https://docs.libraryname.com/llms.txt (or the main domain). Use the URLs it returns to fetch specific doc pages.
3. Fetch doc pages directly — from llms.txt URLs or a web search. Also look for openapi.json at the API root.
4. DeepWiki MCP — query the GitHub repo. If the repo isn't indexed, move on.
5. Clone to /tmp — git clone --depth 1 to /tmp/repo-name, read what you need. Check docs/, examples/, and root *.md files.

Don't give up after one failed approach. If you already know a docs URL, skip straight to it.
