|
**Purpose**: Official library documentation lookup and framework pattern guidance
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Triggers
|
|
|
|
|
- Import statements: `import`, `require`, `from`, `use`
|
|
|
|
|
- Framework keywords: React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, Express, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
- Library-specific questions about APIs or best practices
|
|
|
|
|
- Need for official documentation patterns vs generic solutions
|
|
|
|
|
- Version-specific implementation requirements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Choose When
|
|
|
|
|
- **Over WebSearch**: When you need curated, version-specific documentation
|
|
|
|
|
- **Over native knowledge**: When implementation must follow official patterns
|
|
|
|
|
- **For frameworks**: React hooks, Vue composition API, Angular services
|
|
|
|
|
- **For libraries**: Correct API usage, authentication flows, configuration
|
|
|
|
|
- **For compliance**: When adherence to official standards is mandatory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
