How to Answer Modding Questions
- Search
index.json — find relevant pages by title keywords or category
- Read matching files from
docs/ — load only what the query needs
- Cite source URL for every answer — use the
url field from index.json
- Cross-reference — if
index.json shows related pages, mention them
- Flag deprecated patterns — call out outdated approaches explicitly
