denolfe Source Check
Fetch current documentation for technical topics in context.
Invocation
/source-check— fetch docs for technical topics in recent conversation/source-check [topic]— fetch docs for a specific topic
Scope
Fetch current info for:
- Libraries and frameworks in use
- APIs and their current behavior
- Tools, CLIs, and their options
- Version-specific features or changes
Skip: conceptual discussions, architecture questions, opinion-based topics.
Pipeline
Step 1: Identify Topics
Scan recent conversation for technical topics that would benefit from current documentation. Prioritize:
- Libraries/frameworks being discussed
- APIs or methods in use
- Tools, CLIs, configuration options
- Version-specific behavior
List each topic as a brief phrase.
Step 2: Fetch via Subagent
Dispatch a general-purpose subagent with:
Fetch current documentation for these technical topics:
1. [topic 1]
2. [topic 2]
...
For each topic:
1. Generate 1-2 targeted search queries (include library name, version if relevant)
2. Use WebSearch to find current docs (prefer official docs, changelogs, release notes)
3. If needed, use WebFetch on official docs URL for details
4. Summarize current state/behavior
Return ONLY this format:
## Current Documentation
### [Topic 1]
[Current state/behavior summary - 2-3 sentences]
Source: [Official Docs](url)
### [Topic 2]
[Current state/behavior summary - 2-3 sentences]
Source: [Changelog](url)
If a topic has changed recently, note what changed.
Step 3: Integrate
Present subagent results. Use fetched documentation to inform subsequent responses.
Output Format
