At a glance

Search auto-generated codebase documentation for function signatures, API docs, class definitions, and code comments.

  • The user asks to search docs
  • SKILL.md covers Prerequisites, Core Behavior, Commands and Document Types, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls git; reaches github.com
  • Find documentation

What it does

Docs Search is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Search auto-generated codebase documentation for function signatures, API docs, class definitions, and code comments. Use when the user asks to "search docs", "find documentation", "look up a function", "check the API", or before implementing changes to verify correct signatures and patterns.

Its SKILL.md is about 650 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Mobile, covering Technical documentation and Mobile testing and debugging. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to search docs
  • Find documentation
  • Look up a function
  • Before implementing changes to verify correct signatures and patterns

Example prompts

  • “search docs”
  • “find documentation”
  • “look up a function”
  • “/docs-search”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c82aba. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    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:

    • github.com

    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

Docs Search loads about 650 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 162 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~650

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.
