documentation-research

documentation-research is a skill for Claude Code from jpoutrin/product-forge. It costs 31 tokens per session (379 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research-focused guide that checks current official documentation before technical implementation and reports relevant practices, versions, and deprecated patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before implementing features with technologies such as Django, FastAPI, React, Python, or TypeScript when current documentation matters.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of following outdated APIs or framework advice.

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

documentation-research 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Documentation Research Skill

This skill enforces documentation research before any technical implementation to ensure code follows current best practices.

Core Principle

NO IMPLEMENTATION WITHOUT DOCUMENTATION RESEARCH

Before writing ANY code:

  1. Search official documentation online
  2. Verify current best practices
  3. Check for deprecated patterns
  4. Report findings to user
  5. Only then proceed

Documentation Sources

Technology Primary Documentation
Django docs.djangoproject.com
FastAPI fastapi.tiangolo.com
React react.dev
Python docs.python.org
TypeScript typescriptlang.org/docs

Research Protocol

  1. Search Official Docs - Use WebSearch/WebFetch
  2. Verify Version - Check latest stable release
  3. Review Best Practices - Note recommended patterns
  4. Check Deprecations - Avoid outdated APIs
  5. Document Findings - Summarize before implementing

Enforcement Rules

  1. Documentation research is non-negotiable
  2. Always verify which version is being used
  3. Check for deprecated APIs before using
  4. Follow security best practices from docs
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.
