Search and read locally-stored Claude documentation covering Claude Code CLI, Claude API (Messages, tool use, vision, streaming, batch), Agent SDK (Python and TypeScript), prompt engineering, and all Anthropic platform docs. Use this skill whenever the user asks about Claude Code features (hooks, MCP servers, skills, plugins, settings, permissions, keybindings, sub-agents), the Anthropic API or any of its SDKs (Python, TypeScript, Go, Java), the Agent SDK (sessions, hooks, custom tools, MCP)…

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

# Claude Documentation Search Skill

Claude's official documentation is indexed locally. The clone at `~/.claude-code-docs/`
holds only metadata:
- `paths_manifest.json` — every page's filename, id, title, category, and source URL
- `search_index.json` — per-page titles, headings, and stemmed term counts

The actual `.md` pages are cached at `~/.claude-code-docs/cache/` (override:
`$CLAUDE_DOCS_CACHE_DIR`). A background sync keeps the cache current; any page not
yet cached is fetched on demand — see **Reading a doc** below.

## When to Use This Skill

Activate when the user asks about:
- Claude Code features: hooks, skills, MCP, plugins, settings, slash commands, sub-agents
- Claude API: messages, tool use, streaming, batch processing
- Agent SDK: Python/TypeScript SDK, sessions, custom tools, subagents
- Prompt engineering: best practices, system prompts, chain of thought
- Any topic covered by platform.claude.com or code.claude.com

## Search Strategy

The search scripts read the manifest + index, so they see **every** page whether or
not it is cached yet. Prefer them over globbing the cache.

### 1. Content search (default — questions and topics)

```bash
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add costiash/claude-code-docs/claude-docs@sha256:68f7dc5a5b4b2b35

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260804.2c08f75, 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.
