This project provides a local mirror of Claude Code documentation, enabling faster access and offline use. It's designed for developers who frequently interact with Claude Code and want to streamline their workflow by having documentation readily available without web requests. The key benefit is significantly improved access speed and the ability to track documentation changes over time.

How It Works

The tool installs locally, creating a /docs slash command within the Claude Code environment. This command allows users to query documentation directly. An automatic "PreToolUse" hook is configured to perform a git pull before reading documentation, ensuring the local copy stays relatively up-to-date with the official Anthropic documentation. This approach prioritizes speed and local control over always fetching live data.
