Description
Get API Docs is an agent skill from the andrewyng context-hub project that fetches current documentation for third-party APIs, SDKs and libraries before a coding agent writes code that uses them. Rather than guessing from training data, the agent runs the chub command-line tool to get the latest, most accurate API details. The skill starts by checking that chub is installed. If it is missing and the environment has Node, npm, network access and permission to install packages, the skill installs chub with npm. It then reads the latest instructions for using chub, so the agent knows how to find and retrieve the documentation it needs. The skill suits coding agents working with external libraries or services, where an outdated API can cause bugs. It is listed on skills.sh, and the page shows install counts and security audit results.…
