Documentation Discovery & Analysis

Overview

Intelligent discovery and analysis of technical documentation through multiple strategies:

  1. llms.txt-first: Search for standardized AI-friendly documentation
  2. Repository analysis: Use Repomix to analyze GitHub repositories
  3. Parallel exploration: Deploy multiple Explorer agents for comprehensive coverage
  4. Fallback research: Use Researcher agents when other methods unavailable

Core Workflow

Phase 1: Initial Discovery

  1. Identify target
  2. Extract library/framework name from user request
  3. Note version requirements (default: latest)
  4. Clarify scope if ambiguous
  5. Identify if target is GitHub repository or website

  6. Search for llms.txt (PRIORITIZE context7.com)

First: Try context7.com patterns

For GitHub repositories:
Pattern: https://context7.com/{org}/{repo}/llms.txt Examples: - https://github.com/imagick/imagick β†’ https://context7.com/imagick/imagick/llms.txt - https://github.com/vercel/next.js β†’ https://context7.com/vercel/next.js/llms.txt - https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth β†’ https://context7.com/better-auth/better-auth/llms.txt

For websites:
Pattern: https://context7.com/websites/{normalized-domain-path}/llms.txt Examples: - https://docs.imgix.com/ β†’ https://context7.com/websites/imgix/llms.txt - https://docs.byteplus.com/en/docs/ModelArk/ β†’ https://context7.com/websites/byteplus_en_modelark/llms.txt - https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs β†’ https://context7.com/websites/haystack_deepset_ai/llms.txt - https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/8.0/ β†’ https://context7.com/websites/ffmpeg_doxygen_8_0/llms.txt

Topic-specific searches (when user asks about specific feature):
Pattern: https://context7.com/{path}/llms.txt?topic={query} Examples: - https://context7.com/shadcn-ui/ui/llms.txt?topic=date - https://context7.com/shadcn-ui/ui/llms.txt?topic=button - https://context7.com/vercel/next.js/llms.txt?topic=cache - https://context7.com/websites/ffmpeg_doxygen_8_0/llms.txt?topic=compress

Fallback: Traditional llms.txt search
WebSearch: "[library name] llms.txt site:[docs domain]"
Common patterns:
- https://docs.[library].com/llms.txt
- https://[library].dev/llms.txt
- https://[library].io/llms.txt

β†’ Found? Proceed to Phase 2
β†’ Not found? Proceed to Phase 3

Phase 2: llms.txt Processing

Single URL:
- WebFetch to retrieve content
- Extract and present information

Multiple URLs (3+):
- CRITICAL: Launch multiple Explorer agents in parallel
- One agent per major documentation section (max 5 in first batch)
- Each agent reads assigned URLs
- Aggregate findings into consolidated report

Example:

Launch 3 Explorer agents simultaneously:
- Agent 1: getting-started.md, installation.md
- Agent 2: api-reference.md, core-concepts.md
- Agent 3: examples.md, best-practices.md

Phase 3: Repository Analysis

When llms.txt not found:

  1. Find GitHub repository via WebSearch
  2. Use Repomix to pack repository:
    bash npm install -g repomix # if needed git clone [repo-url] /tmp/docs-analysis cd /tmp/docs-analysis repomix --output repomix-output.xml
  3. Read repomix-output.xml and extract documentation

Repomix benefits:
- Entire repository in single AI-friendly file
- Preserves directory structure
- Optimized for AI consumption

Phase 4: Fallback Research

When no GitHub repository exists:
- Launch multiple Researcher agents in parallel
- Focus areas: official docs, tutorials, API references, community guides
- Aggregate findings into consolidated report

Agent Distribution Guidelines

  • 1-3 URLs: Single Explorer agent
  • 4-10 URLs: 3-5 Explorer agents (2-3 URLs each)
  • 11+ URLs: 5-7 Explorer agents (prioritize most relevant)

Version Handling

Latest (default):
- Search without version specifier
- Use current documentation paths

Specific version:
- Include version in search: [library] v[version] llms.txt
- Check versioned paths: /v[version]/llms.txt
- For repositories: checkout specific tag/branch

Output Format

# Documentation for [Library] [Version]

## Source
- Method: [llms.txt / Repository / Research]
- URLs: [list of sources]
- Date accessed: [current date]

## Key Information
[Extracted relevant information organized by topic]

## Additional Resources
[Related links, examples, references]

## Notes
[Any limitations, missing information, or caveats]

Quick Reference

Tool selection:
- WebSearch β†’ Find llms.txt URLs, GitHub repositories
- WebFetch β†’ Read single documentation pages
- Task (Explore) β†’ Multiple URLs, parallel exploration
- Task (Researcher) β†’ Scattered documentation, diverse sources
- Repomix β†’ Complete codebase analysis

Popular llms.txt locations (try context7.com first):
- Astro: https://context7.com/withastro/astro/llms.txt
- Next.js: https://context7.com/vercel/next.js/llms.txt
- Remix: https://context7.com/remix-run/remix/llms.txt
- shadcn/ui: https://context7.com/shadcn-ui/ui/llms.txt
- Better Auth: https://context7.com/better-auth/better-auth/llms.txt

Fallback to official sites if context7.com unavailable:
- Astro: https://docs.astro.build/llms.txt
- Next.js: https://nextjs.org/llms.txt
- Remix: https://remix.run/llms.txt
- SvelteKit: https://kit.svelte.dev/llms.txt

Error Handling

  • llms.txt not accessible β†’ Try alternative domains β†’ Repository analysis
  • Repository not found β†’ Search official website β†’ Use Researcher agents
  • Repomix fails β†’ Try /docs directory only β†’ Manual exploration
  • Multiple conflicting sources β†’ Prioritize official β†’ Note versions

Key Principles

  1. Prioritize context7.com for llms.txt β€” Most comprehensive and up-to-date aggregator
  2. Use topic parameters when applicable β€” Enables targeted searches with ?topic=...
  3. Use parallel agents aggressively β€” Faster results, better coverage
  4. Verify official sources as fallback β€” Use when context7.com unavailable
  5. Report methodology β€” Tell user which approach was used
  6. Handle versions explicitly β€” Don't assume latest
