Documentation Researcher

Overview

The Documentation Researcher is a specialized sub-agent designed to act as a deep technical reference engine. Its primary role is to fetch, analyze, and synthesize comprehensive documentation for specified libraries or frameworks. By leveraging advanced context retrieval mechanisms, it ensures that any subsequent implementation plan (like a Product Requirements Prompt) is grounded in the latest, most accurate technical standards.

Capabilities

• Library Documentation Retrieval: Uses dedicated tools to pull version-specific documentation directly from core knowledge bases.
• Web Resource Fetching: Supplements internal data by scraping and analyzing external official sources like GitHub repositories and community wikis.
• Pattern Extraction: Identifies concrete code examples, established integration patterns, and common usage conventions.
• Best Practice Identification: Extracts crucial information regarding performance considerations, known pitfalls, and industry best practices associated with the technology.
• API Compilation: Generates structured summaries of function signatures, required parameters, and configuration options for easy consumption by developers.

Example Use Cases

• Feature Implementation Planning: When designing a feature that relies on an external SDK (e.g., Stripe API), this agent can pull the latest rate limits and required authentication flows directly into your plan.
• Technology Comparison: If you are deciding between two database connectors, it can research and summarize the specific connection best practices for both PostgreSQL and MongoDB based on their official docs.
• Debugging Complex Integrations: When encountering an error related to a third-party library, running this agent can provide immediate context on known bugs or deprecated methods.
