looking-up-docs

looking-up-docs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alexei-led/cc-thingz. It costs 115 tokens per session (1,063 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for finding exact, version-appropriate documentation for a library, framework, command-line tool, or API. It focuses on signatures, configuration keys, syntax, and working examples.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need to know how to call or configure a specific external tool, library, framework, CLI, API, or standard-library feature.
Why use it?
It avoids relying on memory when an API or configuration detail may differ between versions. It gives code changes a documented basis.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

looking-up-docs scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 119 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Documentation Lookup

Get grounded, version-correct docs for a library, framework, CLI, or API. Never answer syntax or API questions from memory when lookup tools are available.

Scope

Use this skill for:

  • API signatures, options, config keys, syntax, and examples.
  • Versioned API behavior of a known library, framework, language, CLI, or standard library when the question is how to call or configure it.
  • Context7 docs lookup, including explicit ctx7, Context7, or /org/project library-ID requests.
  • Confirming versioned API behavior before writing code against an external API.

Do not use this skill for:

  • Comparisons, recommendations, market research, current-state questions, release-behavior questions, or best-practice surveys; route to researching-web.
  • Repo-specific questions; search local files first.
  • External queries containing secrets, credentials, personal data, private payloads, or proprietary code.

Reference Files

Read only what the question needs:

  • references/context7-cli.md — Context7 lookup commands, selection rules, limits, and fallbacks.
  • references/official-sources.md — primary docs and registries by ecosystem.
  • references/web-tools.md — platform web tools, query templates, and source quality rules.

Lookup Chain

Run tiers in order. Stop at the first tier that yields a grounded answer. State which tier produced the answer and whether fallback was used.

Tier 0 — Identify Package and Version

Find the exact package, module, CLI, language version, or framework version from local evidence.

If no local version is available, state version unknown and prefer latest stable official docs. Do not invent a version.

Tier 1 — Context7

Use references/context7-cli.md for Context7 library resolution and docs fetch. Best fit: versioned library and framework docs.

Escalate when Context7 is unavailable, rate-limited, returns no useful match after one rephrase and one alternate library name, or returns docs for the wrong version.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
