Navigate Clawdbot Docs Like a Pro with the Clawddocs Skill

Finding the right documentation page when you need it can be frustrating. Clawdbot has hundreds of docs covering providers, configuration, automation, and more. Enter Clawddocs — a skill that turns your AI agent into a documentation expert with built-in search, caching, and ready-to-use config snippets.

Who Needs This?

If you've ever asked your agent "How do I set up Discord?" and gotten a vague answer, this skill is for you. Clawddocs gives your agent:

A decision tree to route questions to the right docs
Search scripts that query the live sitemap
Full-text indexing for semantic search
Version tracking to see what's changed
Pre-built config snippets for common setups

With 73 stars and nearly 8,000 downloads, it's one of the most popular skills on ClawdHub.

Installation

npx clawhub@latest install clawddocs

That's it. The skill installs search scripts and config snippets into your skills directory. No external dependencies required.

How It Works

The Decision Tree

When you ask your agent a question, Clawddocs routes it intelligently:

"How do I set up X?" → Checks providers/ or start/ docs
"Why isn't X working?" → Routes to troubleshooting pages
"How do I configure X?" → Fetches gateway/configuration or relevant concepts
"How do I automate X?" → Searches automation/ for cron, webhooks, Gmail

Search Scripts

The skill includes several bash scripts:

Browse the sitemap:

./scripts/sitemap.sh

Shows all documentation organized by category.

Keyword search:

./scripts/search.sh discord
./scripts/search.sh webhook retry

Finds docs mentioning your keywords.

Fetch a specific doc:

./scripts/fetch-doc.sh gateway/configuration
./scripts/fetch-doc.sh providers/telegram

Retrieves the full content of a documentation page.

Recent changes:

./scripts/recent.sh 7

Shows docs updated in the last 7 days — useful for keeping up with Clawdbot releases.

Full-Text Index (Advanced)

For semantic search across all docs, build a local index:

./scripts/build-index.sh fetch    # Download all docs
./scripts/build-index.sh build    # Build search index
./scripts/build-index.sh search "webhook retry logic"

This requires qmd but enables deeper searches like "how does rate limiting work" across the entire documentation.

Practical Examples

Example 1: Discord Mention-Only Mode

You: "How do I make my bot only respond when mentioned in Discord?"

Agent with Clawddocs:

Uses decision tree → routes to providers/discord
Finds the requireMention setting
Returns the config:

{
  "discord": {
    "guilds": {
      "*": {
        "requireMention": true
      }
    }
  }
}

Plus a link to https://docs.clawd.bot/providers/discord

Example 2: What's New?

You: "What changed in the docs recently?"

Agent: Runs ./scripts/recent.sh 7 and summarizes:

New iOS share extension docs
Updated gateway configuration examples
Added Anthropic Claude Opus 4.5 references

Example 3: Debugging a Problem

You: "My browser tool isn't working on Linux"

Agent: Routes to tools/browser-linux-troubleshooting and provides specific steps for your environment.

Config Snippets

The skill includes snippets/common-configs.md with copy-paste configurations for:

Provider setup (Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, Signal)
Gateway settings (logging, health checks)
Agent defaults (models, retry logic)
Cron jobs and automation
Skills integration

Tips

Use the cache: The sitemap caches for 1 hour. Run ./scripts/cache.sh status to check freshness.
Cite sources: Always link to the actual doc page (https://docs.clawd.bot/path)
Track changes: Before asking "is this still accurate?", run ./scripts/recent.sh to see updates
Live data: The skill fetches docs from the web, so it's always current even if the skill version is older

Why Clawddocs?

Without this skill, your agent might:

Make up configuration options
Give outdated advice
Miss provider-specific details

With Clawddocs, it has direct access to the official documentation — searchable, indexed, and ready to cite.
