Does it require internet access to work?

Yes, it uses a fetch-first protocol to retrieve real information from official documentation sites and npm, ensuring the challenges are accurate and up-to-date.

What happens if I answer a question correctly?

Using the /smash command, Claude evaluates your answer. If correct, the challenge is marked as 'smashed' in your challenge bank and will no longer appear in passive notifications.

How does Documentation Demon identify which technologies I'm using?

The skill scans project files like package.json, README.md, and Infrastructure-as-Code files (Terraform, CDK, etc.) to build a prioritized list of your project's technology stack.

Can I integrate the quizzes into my team's chat?

Absolutely. You can configure a Discord webhook using the /demon discord command to receive passive challenges directly in your team's channel.

Learning & Documentation

Gamifies technical mastery by challenging developers with documentation-based quizzes tailored to their specific project tech stack.

Documentation Demon is a specialized Claude Code skill that transforms static documentation into an interactive learning experience. By scanning your repository—including dependency files, READMEs, and Infrastructure-as-Code templates—it identifies your core technologies and fetches verified data from official documentation sources to generate 'gotcha' style challenges. These challenges are stored in a local bank and can be integrated with Discord, providing passive learning opportunities that keep developers sharp on framework nuances, cloud service limits, and best practices without ever leaving their terminal.
