What this skill does
Documentation Navigation Skill Navigate the hierarchical documentation system to find relevant context with minimal token usage. Variables Variable Default Description ---------- --------- ------------- STARTLEVEL auto auto, root, category, library, section, page KEYWORDMATCH fuzzy fuzzy (semantic) or exact matching for index navigation Instructions MANDATORY - Always start at the appropriate index level and drill down. Read index.toon files before loading pages Match task keywords against index keywords Load specific pages, not full contexts Note priority and whentouse fields in indexes Red Flags - STOP and Reconsider If you're about to: Load full-context.md for a simple question Guess file paths instead of reading the index Skip the index and go straight to pages Load everything "just in case" STOP -> Follow the Navigation Protocol below -> Then proceed Workflow 1. [ ] CHECKPOINT: Identify what you know (library? section? topic?) 2. [ ] Start at the appropriate index level 3. [ ] Read index, match keywords to your task 4. [ ] Drill down to specific pages 5. [ ] Load only the pages you need 6. [ ] CHECKPOINT: Is full-context.md justified? (rarely) Cookbook Level Selection IF: Unsure where to start in the hierarchy THEN: Read cookbook/level-selection.md RESULT: Start at the right level based on what you know Keyword Matching IF: Searching for documentation by topic THEN: Read cookbook/keyword-matching.md RESULT: Find relevant pages through index keywords Efficient Page Loading IF: Loading multiple pages or managing token budget THEN: Read cookbook/page-loading.md RESULT: Minimize token usage while getting needed context The Hierarchy Navigation Protocol Step 1: Start at the Right Level You Know Start Here ---------- ------------ Nothing ai-docs/rootindex.toon Category (libraries/frameworks) ai-docs/{category}/index.toon Library name ai-docs/libraries/{lib}/index.toon Library + section ai-docs/libraries/{lib}/{section}/index.toon Exact page ai-docs/libraries/{lib}/{s …
