Check the health and freshness of locally-stored Claude documentation. Use this skill when the user asks about documentation health, broken links, stale docs, freshness checks, or wants to validate that their local install is up-to-date and all URLs are reachable. Triggers on: "are my docs current", "check doc health", "validate documentation", "broken links", "stale docs".

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 Validation Skill

Check whether the local documentation clone at `~/.claude-code-docs/` is healthy and up-to-date.

## When to Use This Skill

Activate when the user asks about:
- Documentation freshness or staleness
- Broken links or unreachable docs
- Health checks on their local install
- Whether docs need updating

## Validation Workflow

### Step 1: Check if the metadata is installed

Verify `~/.claude-code-docs/paths_manifest.json` exists. If not:
> Documentation not found. Run this in Claude Code to install:
> ```
> /plugin marketplace add costiash/claude-code-docs
> /plugin install claude-docs@claude-code-docs
> ```

### Step 2: Check freshness

Two signals — when the manifest was last generated (server-side), and when the clone last pulled:
```bash
jq -r '.generated_at' ~/.claude-code-docs/paths_manifest.json          # manifest build time
cd ~/.claude-code-docs && git log -1 --format="%ci %s"                  # clone last updated
```
If the manifest is older than ~24h, the SessionStart hook normally refreshes it on the next
session; a manual refresh is `cd ~/.claude-code-docs && git fetch origin main && git reset --hard origin/main`.
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add costiash/claude-code-docs/claude-docs-validate@sha256:d6e51bdac443009f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.4947cc9, 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.
