Use this skill to get documentation for third-party APIs, SDKs or libraries before writing code that uses them to ensure you have the latest, most accurate documentation. This is a better way to find documentation than doing web search. This includes when a user asks for tasks like "use the OpenAI API", "call the Stripe API", "use the Anthropic SDK", "query Pinecone", or any other time the user asks you to write code against an external service and you need current API reference.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Get API Docs via chub

When you need documentation for a library or API, fetch it with the `chub` CLI
rather than guessing from training data. This gives you the current, correct API.

## Step 1 - Ensure chub exists and get the latest instructions for using it

Run

```bash
chub --help
```

If this results in an error showing that chub does not exist, then install it first, and run it
again. If the environment has node, npm, network access, and package-manager permission,
install it as follows:

```bash
npm install -g @aisuite/chub
```

## Step 2 — Find the right documents

If there is a conflict, follow the instructions from the output of chub --help since that will
be the latest guidance. However, a key command for searching for the right documentation is chub search:

```bash
chub search "<keywords>" --json
```

Pick the best-matching `id` from the results (e.g. `openai/chat`, `anthropic/sdk`,
`stripe/api`). If nothing matches, try some broader terms.

## Step 3 — Fetch the docs

Again, follow the latest instructions from chub --help instead of this if there is a conflict. But a
key command for fetching the relevant docs is:

```bash
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mxyhi/ok-skills/get-api-docs@sha256:ae9cb12d4e952edb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260427.26d456f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
