GitHub Docs (gh-docs) is a specialized research skill for Claude Code that enables the autonomous discovery and analysis of package documentation and source code. When developers encounter unfamiliar libraries or need specific API details, this skill allows Claude to locate the official GitHub repository, clone it locally, and deploy a research sub-agent to explore the codebase. It goes beyond static documentation by examining actual source code, tests, and examples, ensuring developers get the most accurate and up-to-date implementation patterns directly from the source of truth.
