Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

AI Maestro Documentation Search

Search your codebase's auto-generated documentation for function signatures, class definitions, API docs, and code comments. Verify correct patterns before writing code. Part of the [AI Maestro](https://github.com/23blocks-OS/ai-maestro) suite.

Prerequisites

Requires [AI Maestro](https://github.com/23blocks-OS/ai-maestro) running locally with documentation indexed.

# Install doc tools
git clone https://github.com/23blocks-OS/ai-maestro-plugins.git
cd ai-maestro-plugins && ./install-doc-tools.sh

Core Behavior

Before implementing any code changes, search docs first:

Receive instruction -> Search docs -> Then implement

Commands

Search

| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `docs-search.sh <query>` | Semantic documentation search | | `docs-search.sh --keyword <term>` | Exact keyword matching | | `docs-find-by-type.sh <type>` | Find by type (function, class, module) | | `docs-get.sh <doc-id>` | Get full document content |

Index

| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `docs-index.sh [path]` | Full index from project | | `docs-index-delta.sh [path]` | Delta index (new/modified files only) | | `docs-list.sh` | List all indexed documents | | `docs-stats.sh` | Index statistics |

Document Types

| Type | Sources | |------|---------| | `function` | JSDoc, RDoc, docstrings | | `class` | Class-level comments | | `module` | Module/namespace comments | | `interface` | TypeScript interfaces | | `component` | React/Vue component comments | | `readme` | README files | | `guide` | docs/ folder content |

Usage Examples

# Semantic search
docs-search.sh "authentication flow"

# Keyword search for specific identifier
docs-search.sh --keyword "UserController"

# Find all class documentation
docs-find-by-type.sh class

# Get full document details
docs-get.sh doc-abc123

# Index your codebase (first time)
docs-index.sh /path/to/project

# Update index after changes
docs-index-delta.sh
