Documentation Research Skill

This skill enforces documentation research before any technical implementation to ensure code follows current best practices.

Core Principle

NO IMPLEMENTATION WITHOUT DOCUMENTATION RESEARCH

Before writing ANY code:

1. Search official documentation online
2. Verify current best practices
3. Check for deprecated patterns
4. Report findings to user
5. Only then proceed

Documentation Sources

Technology	Primary Documentation
Django	docs.djangoproject.com
FastAPI	fastapi.tiangolo.com
React	react.dev
Python	docs.python.org
TypeScript	typescriptlang.org/docs

Research Protocol

1. Search Official Docs - Use WebSearch/WebFetch
2. Verify Version - Check latest stable release
3. Review Best Practices - Note recommended patterns
4. Check Deprecations - Avoid outdated APIs
5. Document Findings - Summarize before implementing
