Camunda Docs Lookup
UTILITY SKILL: retrieve source-backed Camunda documentation, then route implementation work to the focused skill.
DO NOT USE FOR:
Do not use this skill to author BPMN, DMN, forms, or connectors, or to deploy and operate process instances. Route those tasks to the corresponding Camunda skill after verifying any version-sensitive fact here.
Two retrieval paths into docs.camunda.io, each with a different strength. Pick by question shape; fall back to llms.txt only if both are unavailable.
| Path | Mechanism | Best for | Returns |
|---|---|---|---|
| camunda-docs MCP | Semantic retrieval (vector search) over docs + other Camunda knowledge sources | Conceptual or fuzzy questions; you don't know the exact term; want chunks ready to read | Top-k markdown chunks with source URLs |
| Algolia DocSearch | Classical lexical search (the same index docs.camunda.io's own search box uses) | You know the term; want version-scoped results (8.7 vs 8.9 vs next); want to triage a ranked page list | Ranked pages with title, hierarchy, snippet — fetch the page for full content |
| llms.txt / llms-full.txt | Static text index/corpus | Offline fallback when neither service is reachable | Plain text; grep locally |
Use both primary paths in parallel when in doubt — they're cheap and frequently surface different relevant pages.
