Claude Code Docs

Local search over the official Claude Code documentation. All ~74 English doc pages from code.claude.com/docs are stored as individual markdown files with descriptive filenames.

How to search

The docs live in a local directory. Find it by checking common locations:

# Check if there's a known docs path
ls ~/github/*/claude-docs/claude-code/docs/*.md 2>/dev/null || ls ~/.claude/claude-code-docs/docs/*.md 2>/dev/null

Search strategy

1. Start with Grep using 2-3 keywords from the user's question across all *.md files in the docs directory. This quickly identifies which docs are relevant.
2. Read the most relevant doc in full using Read. The real answer lives in the full document — grep snippets alone are not enough context.
3. Check related docs when the question spans multiple features. Many Claude Code features have both a CLI flag and an in-session command (e.g., --add-dir and /add-dir, --worktree and /branch). If your answer involves a Desktop feature, also check if there's a CLI equivalent, and vice versa. A second grep with different keywords often surfaces the complementary doc.
4. Stop searching once you have the answer. Two or three doc reads should be enough for most questions. Don't keep searching for confirmation — synthesize what you found and respond.
