What it does

Journey Docs is an agent skill from butterbase-ai/butterbase-skills. Use as the docs-priming stage of the Butterbase journey, immediately after journey-preflight and before the first build stage. Reads the plan to discover which capabilities the app uses, calls butterbasedocs once per relevant topic, and caches a summary the build stages can re-read.

Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Plugin for Butterbase.ai. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/journey-docs”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the plan. Open docs/butterbase/02-plan.md. Identify every Butterbase capability in use (Tables → schema; RLS → auth; Auth → auth…
  2. Call butterbase_docs per topic. For each unique topic from step 1, call butterbase_docs with that topic argument. Skip duplicates.
  3. Write the cache file. Create docs/butterbase/03b-docs-cache.md with this structure
  4. Update 00-state.md. Tick the docs row.
  5. Return. One-line summary: "Primed docs for: schema, auth, storage, functions. Cache at docs/butterbase/03b-docs-cache.md."

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aa8ae69. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • docs.butterbase.ai

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Journey Docs loads about 537 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 193 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~537

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use as the docs-priming stage of the Butterbase journey, immediately after journey-preflight and before the first build stage. Reads the plan to discover which capabilities the app uses, calls butterbase_docs once per relevant topic, and caches a summary the build stages can re-read.

Journey Docs Gate

A short, mechanical priming step. The goal is that every downstream stage starts with the relevant docs already in the conversation, so the model doesn't invent API shapes.

When to use

Invoke automatically after journey-preflight returns. Also invoke standalone (/butterbase-skills:journey-docs) any time the user changes the plan or you realize a stage is using a capability you haven't refreshed this session.

Procedure

  1. Read the plan. Open docs/butterbase/02-plan.md. Identify every Butterbase capability in use (Tables → schema; RLS → auth; Auth → auth; Storage → storage; Functions → functions; AI → ai; RAG → rag; Realtime → realtime; Durable → functions; Frontend → frontend; Integrations → integrations; Substrate → substrate; Payments → billing).

  2. Call butterbase_docs per topic. For each unique topic from step 1, call butterbase_docs with that topic argument. Skip duplicates.

  3. Write the cache file. Create docs/butterbase/03b-docs-cache.md with this structure:

    markdown
    ---
    primed_at: <ISO timestamp>
    topics: [<comma-separated list>]
    ---
    
    # Docs Cache
    
    ## <topic-1>
    <one-paragraph summary of what the MCP doc says — key endpoints, common patterns, gotchas>
    URL: https://docs.butterbase.ai/<area>
    
    ## <topic-2>
    ...
  4. Update 00-state.md. Tick the docs row.

  5. Return. One-line summary: "Primed docs for: schema, auth, storage, functions. Cache at docs/butterbase/03b-docs-cache.md."

Anti-patterns

  • ❌ Calling butterbase_docs with topic: "all". Burns context. Call once per relevant topic instead.
  • ❌ Skipping the cache file. Other stages re-read it; in-memory only doesn't survive context compression.
  • ❌ Calling for topics not in the plan. We're priming, not exhaustive.
