Claude Docs Consultant

Claude Docs Consultant

Fetch official Claude Code documentation on-demand from code.claude.com. Uses progressive disclosure: resolve the topic to a filename, then fetch only that doc. Never fetch documentation speculatively.

URL Pattern

All docs follow this pattern — substitute the filename:

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/{filename}.md

Quick Routing (Common Topics)

For these high-frequency topics, fetch directly without consulting the full index:

Full Routing

For topics not listed above, consult references/docs-index.md for the complete routing table covering all 60+ documentation pages across platforms, deployment, security, configuration, administration, and reference.

Workflow

1. Identify topic — determine which Claude Code feature the task involves
2. Route to filename — use quick routing above, or consult references/docs-index.md
3. Fetch with WebFetch — use the URL pattern with the resolved filename

Fetch multiple docs in parallel when the task spans multiple topics.

Fallback: Discovery via Docs Map

If routing does not match any known filename, fetch the documentation map to discover available pages:

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/claude_code_docs_map.md

Identify the relevant doc from the map, then fetch it using the URL pattern.

Rules

• Fetch only the docs actually needed for the current task
• Fetch multiple docs in parallel if the task requires 2+ sources
• Always fetch live from code.claude.com — do not use cached or memorized content
• Do not fetch docs "just in case" — fetch when required by the task

Examples

Example 1: Creating a Hook

Task: "Help me create a pre-tool-use hook to log tool calls"

1. Route: hook creation -> hooks-guide.md + hooks.md
2. Fetch both in parallel via WebFetch
3. Apply: create hook using guide examples and API reference for PreToolUse event

Example 2: Installing a Plugin

Task: "How do I install plugins from a marketplace?"

1. Route: plugin installing -> discover-plugins.md
2. Fetch via WebFetch
3. Apply: follow marketplace and installation instructions

Example 3: Unknown Feature

Task: "How do I configure Claude Code output styles?"

1. Route: not in quick routing table
2. Consult references/docs-index.md -> find output-styles.md under Configuration
3. Fetch output-styles.md via WebFetch
4. Apply: configure output styles per documentation
