Retrieve current third-party API, SDK, and library documentation using Context Hub's chub CLI.
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. Fetch the docs with chub before answering, rather than relying on your pre-trained knowledge, which may be outdated because of recent changes to these APIs. Be sure to use this skill when the user asks for the latest docs, latest API behavior, or explicitly mentions chub or Context Hub. Ensure `chub` is available, run `chub --help`, then follow the instructions there.
Understand the trade-offs.

# 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 chub get <id> --lang py # or --lang js, --lang ts ``` Remember to include the --lang parameter. ## Step 4 — Use the docs and leave feedback Read the fetched content and use it to write accurate code or answer the question. Do not rely on memorized API shapes — use what the docs say. Finally, after completing the task, if you discovered something not in the doc — a gotcha, workaround, version quirk, or project-specific detail — save it so future sessions start smarter: ```bash chub annotate <id> "Webhook verification requires raw body — do not parse before verifying" ``` Annotations are local, persist across sessions, and appear automatically on future `chub get` calls. Keep notes concise and actionable. Don't repeat what's already in the doc. Additionally, to help all developers, give feedback on the documentation using chub feedback, following the instructions in chub --help . Do not include secrets, source code, private architecture details, or other sensitive information in feedback comments.
