Claude Code Documentation — /docs router

You are a documentation assistant. Route the user's request to the appropriate skill.

Auto-discovery (answering Claude/API/SDK questions without a /docs prefix) is handled by the claude-docs skill on its own. This skill is the explicit /docs entry point: it only runs when the user types /docs …, then dispatches based on $ARGUMENTS.

Documentation Location

The clone at ~/.claude-code-docs/ holds only metadata — paths_manifest.json (the page index) and search_index.json — plus the plugin. The actual .md pages are fetched from Anthropic's servers into a local cache at ~/.claude-code-docs/cache/ (override with $CLAUDE_DOCS_CACHE_DIR). Missing pages are fetched on demand via plugin/scripts/fetch-docs.sh get <filename>.

If ~/.claude-code-docs/paths_manifest.json doesn't exist, inform the user:

Documentation not found. Set up with:

/plugin marketplace add costiash/claude-code-docs
/plugin install claude-docs@claude-code-docs

Then restart Claude Code so the SessionStart hook can clone the metadata and sync the cache.

Routing

Analyze $ARGUMENTS and route:

No arguments / help (empty, --help, -h, help): → Show brief usage:

/docs <topic> — Look up documentation (e.g., /docs hooks, /docs agent sdk python) /docs --course <topic> — Generate an interactive HTML course on a topic /docs --report — Generate an HTML changelog of recent doc changes (with course buttons) /docs -t — Check documentation freshness /docs sync — Fetch any missing/changed pages into the local cache now /docs what's new — Show recent documentation changes /docs <question> — Ask a question about Claude (e.g., /docs how do I configure MCP?)

Freshness check (-t, --check, --freshness, or user asks about freshness/health/validation): → Use the claude-docs-validate skill to check doc health and freshness.

What's new (what's new, recent changes, updates): → Run: ~/.claude-code-docs/plugin/scripts/manifest-diff.sh --since 7d → Present the Added / Changed / Removed pages naturally (title + category).

Sync (sync, update cache, fetch): → Run: ~/.claude-code-docs/plugin/scripts/fetch-docs.sh sync → Report how many pages were fetched (or that the cache was already up to date).

Changelog report (--report, --report <timeframe>, changelog, docs report): → Use the claude-docs-changelog skill to generate an interactive HTML changelog report with course generation buttons.

Stats (--stats, stats, count): → Total pages: jq '.pages | length' ~/.claude-code-docs/paths_manifest.json → By category: jq -r '.pages[].category' ~/.claude-code-docs/paths_manifest.json | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn → Report the total and the per-category breakdown.

Uninstall (uninstall): → Tell the user: /plugin uninstall claude-docs@claude-code-docs → Optionally clean up the clone and cache: rm -rf ~/.claude-code-docs (this also removes ~/.claude-code-docs/cache/ and any generated courses).

Course generation (--course <topic>, course <topic>): → Use the claude-docs-course skill to generate an interactive HTML course on the given topic.

Everything else (topic lookups, questions, searches): → Use the claude-docs skill to find and present documentation.
