qt Qt Documentation Ecosystem Reference
Reference for Qt documentation products, modules, repository structure, and API documentation patterns.
When to Use This Skill
This skill activates when working with:
- Qt module names and
\inmodule/\inqmlmodulevalues - Qt repository structure and file locations
- C++ vs QML vs hybrid API documentation patterns
- Qt product documentation (tools, solutions, frameworks)
- Finding where documentation lives in the codebase
Quick Reference
