Agent skill
get-api-docs
Use this skill when you need documentation for a third-party library, SDK, or API before writing code that uses it — for example, "use the OpenAI API", "call the Stripe API", "use the Anthropic SDK", "query Pinecone", or any time the user asks you to write code against an external service and you need current API reference. Fetch the docs with chub before answering, rather than relying on training knowledge.

Get API Docs via chub
When you need documentation for a library or API, fetch it with the chub CLI
rather than guessing from training data. This gives you the current, correct API.
Step 1 — Find the right doc ID
chub search "<library name>" --json
Pick the best-matching id from the results (e.g. openai/chat, anthropic/sdk,
stripe/api). If nothing matches, try a broader term.
Step 2 — Fetch the docs
chub get <id> --lang py # or --lang js, --lang ts
Omit --lang if the doc has only one language variant — it will be auto-selected.
Step 3 — Use the docs
Read the fetched content and use it to write accurate code or answer the question. Do not rely on memorized API shapes — use what the docs say.
Step 4 — Annotate what you learned
After completing the task, if you discovered something not in the doc — a gotcha, workaround, version quirk, or project-specific detail — save it so future sessions start smarter:
chub annotate <id> "Webhook verification requires raw body — do not parse before verifying"
Annotations are local, persist across sessions, and appear automatically on future
chub get calls. Keep notes concise and actionable. Don't repeat what's already in
the doc.
Step 5 — Give feedback
Always rate the doc after using it. This helps authors fix outdated or incorrect docs and prioritize improvements. Include a label and a brief comment explaining what was good or what needs fixing — specific feedback is the most valuable.
chub feedback <id> up --label accurate "Clear examples, models are current"
chub feedback <id> down --label outdated "Lists gpt-4o as latest but gpt-5.4 is out"
Available labels: outdated, inaccurate, incomplete, wrong-examples,
wrong-version, poorly-structured, accurate, well-structured, helpful,
good-examples.
If you notice the doc has wrong model names, deprecated APIs, missing features, or incorrect code patterns, always leave a downvote with details so it can be fixed.
Quick reference
| Goal | Command |
|---|---|
| List everything | chub search |
| Find a doc | chub search "stripe" |
| Exact id detail | chub search stripe/api |
| Fetch Python docs | chub get stripe/api --lang py |
| Fetch JS docs | chub get openai/chat --lang js |
| Save to file | chub get anthropic/sdk --lang py -o docs.md |
| Fetch multiple | chub get openai/chat stripe/api --lang py |
| Save a note | chub annotate stripe/api "needs raw body" |
| List notes | chub annotate --list |
| Rate a doc | chub feedback stripe/api up |
Notes
chub searchwith no query lists everything available- IDs are
<author>/<name>— confirm the ID from search before fetching - If multiple languages exist and you don't pass
--lang, chub will tell you which are available

document-extraction
Use this skill for intelligent document processing and content extraction using LandingAI's Agentic Document Extraction (ADE). Trigger when users need to (1) Parse documents (PDFs, images, spreadsheets, presentations) into structured Markdown with layout understanding, (2) Extract specific structured data from documents using schemas (invoice fields, form data, table data, etc.), (3) Classify and separate multi-document batches by type (invoices vs receipts, statements vs forms, etc.), (4) Process large documents asynchronously (up to 1GB/1000 pages), (5) Get visual grounding (bounding boxes, page numbers) for extracted content — use when users mention bounding boxes, word locations, grounding, highlighting extracted content, or showing where data appears in a document. Use this skill when the task involves understanding document content for a set of documents. In particular this skill can help you write code that run on sets of documents. This will increase speed, and reduce the cost of loading the documents on the Agent context window because you can use a single script to extract the information needed.

document-workflows
Use this skill for building end-to-end document processing workflows and pipelines using LandingAI ADE. Trigger when users need to: (1) Process batches of documents in parallel or async, (2) Build classify-then-extract pipelines for mixed document types, (3) Prepare parsed documents for RAG systems with chunking and vector DB ingestion, (4) Load extraction results into databases like Snowflake or export to CSV/DataFrames, (5) Visualize extraction results: draw bounding box overlays on pages, crop chunk images, or highlight/annotate specific words or phrases found in documents, (6) Build Streamlit or web UIs for document processing, (7) Find and highlight specific terms within document sections using word-level grounding (e.g. highlight "L2S" in the Introduction, redact PII, annotate extracted values on the original page). This skill complements the document-extraction skill which covers ADE SDK basics. Use document-extraction to write code that executes parse/extract/split operations with more precision and less cost than adding the document image to the prompt and asking the LLM to find the relevant info. Use document-workflows when composing those operations into pipelines, or when you need visualization, annotation, or word-level grounding on parsed documents.
