Local mirror of Claude Code documentation files from https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/, updated every 3 hours.

If you have any previous version installed, please run the installer to update:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ericbuess/claude-code-docs/main/install.sh | bash

This update fixes an issue that prevented automatic updates from working properly.

• Faster access - Reads from local files instead of fetching from web
• Automatic updates - Attempts to stay current with the latest documentation
• Track changes - See what changed in docs over time
• Better Claude Code integration - Allows Claude to explore documentation more effectively

This tool requires the following to be installed:

• git - For cloning and updating the repository (usually pre-installed)
• jq - For JSON processing in the auto-update hook (pre-installed on macOS; Linux users may need apt install jq or yum install jq)
• curl - For downloading the installation script (usually pre-installed)
• Claude Code - Obviously :)

Platform Support: macOS and Linux are fully supported. Windows support contributions welcome!

Run this single command:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ericbuess/claude-code-docs/main/install.sh | bash

This will:

1. Install to ~/.claude-code-docs (or migrate existing installation)
2. Create the /docs slash command to pass arguments to the tool and tell it where to find the docs
3. Set up a 'PreToolUse' 'Read' hook to enable automatic git pull when reading docs from the ~/.claude-code-docs`

Note: The command is /docs (user) - it will show in your command list with "(user)" after it to indicate it's a user-created command.

The /docs command provides instant access to documentation with optional freshness checking.

/docs hooks        # Instantly read hooks documentation
/docs mcp          # Instantly read MCP documentation
/docs memory       # Instantly read memory documentation

You'll see: 📚 Reading from local docs (run /docs -t to check freshness)

/docs -t           # Show sync status with GitHub
/docs -t hooks     # Check sync status, then read hooks docs
/docs -t mcp       # Check sync status, then read MCP docs

/docs what's new   # Show recent documentation changes with diffs

/docs uninstall    # Get commnd to remove claude-code-docs completely

# Natural language queries work great
/docs what environment variables exist and how do I use them?
/docs explain the differences between hooks and MCP

# Check for recent changes
/docs -t what's new in the latest documentation?

# Search across all docs
/docs find all mentions of authentication
/docs how do I customize Claude Code's behavior?

The documentation attempts to stay current:

• GitHub Actions runs periodically to fetch new documentation
• When you use /docs, it checks for updates
• Updates are pulled when available
• You may see "🔄 Updating documentation..." when this happens

Note: If automatic updates fail, you can always run the installer again to get the latest version.

Regardless of which version you have installed, simply run:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ericbuess/claude-code-docs/main/install.sh | bash

The installer will handle migration and updates automatically.

If /docs returns "command not found":

1. Check if the command file exists: ls ~/.claude/commands/docs.md
2. Restart Claude Code to reload commands
3. Re-run the installation script

If documentation seems outdated:

1. Run /docs -t to check sync status and force an update
2. Manually update: cd ~/.claude-code-docs && git pull
3. Check if GitHub Actions are running: View Actions

• "git/jq/curl not found": Install the missing tool first
• "Failed to clone repository": Check your internet connection
• "Failed to update settings.json": Check file permissions on ~/.claude/settings.json

To completely remove the docs integration:

/docs uninstall

Or run:

~/.claude-code-docs/uninstall.sh

See UNINSTALL.md for manual uninstall instructions.

• The installer modifies ~/.claude/settings.json to add an auto-update hook
• The hook only runs git pull when reading documentation files
• All operations are limited to the documentation directory
• No data is sent externally - everything is local
• Repository Trust: The installer clones from GitHub over HTTPS. For additional security, you can:
  • Fork the repository and install from your own fork
  • Clone manually and run the installer from the local directory
  • Review all code before installation

• Fixed automatic update functionality
• Improved handling of local repository changes
• Better error recovery during updates
