Crawl and scrape a documentation site into the workspace as clean local markdown (via the getdocs CLI). Use when the user wants to fetch, mirror, crawl, or scrape the docs for a library/API/framework so the agent can read them locally.

# getdocs — fetch documentation as local markdown Use this skill when the user wants documentation pulled into the workspace as clean local markdown they (and you) can grep and read — e.g. "get me the docs for X", "mirror these docs", "crawl/scrape this docs site". [getdocs](https://github.com/jonbakerfish/getdocs) does all the crawling and cloning — your job is to invoke it correctly and act on what it produced. ## How to run it Run getdocs through `uvx` so nothing has to be installed first, and pin a version new enough to emit the machine-readable summary this skill relies on. Never pass `--ignore-robots`: getdocs honors robots.txt, throttles politely, and identifies itself honestly by default — keep it that way. Pick a mode from what the user wants, and tell them which you chose and why: - **Synchronous — a docs section** (default; works under any agent). The URL points at a specific part of the docs, or the user wants "just these docs". getdocs bounds the crawl by Scope (same host + the URL's path prefix); a modest `--limit` keeps an over-wide crawl in check. Block on it: ```bash uvx --from "getdocs>=0.2.0" getdocs crawl "<docs-url>" -o ./getdocs-out --summary-json --limit 200 ``` - **Background — a whole-site mirror.** The user wants to mirror an entire docs site. Run it as a background task so the user can keep working. Under **Claude Code** you are resumed automatically when it finishes; other agents block or must poll, so prefer synchronous t
