## What it does

stream-docs acts as a compatibility entrypoint: any request naming stream-docs gets handled through the `getstream docs` command. Supported arguments come from `getstream docs -h`, and broader CLI guidance is deferred to the stream skill.

When substituting the command, such as `$(getstream docs <id>)`, the agent must avoid appending `2>&1` since the path it needs is printed to stdout and redirecting stderr would break that. Every page cited in an answer should carry the URL from its "For the most recent version of this documentation" line.

If the CLI can't be installed, the skill falls back to fetching `https://getstream.io/docs/llms.txt` directly and following the links there, citing the URL of each page used.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add GetStream/agent-skills --skill stream-docs -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/stream-docs/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/stream-docs/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add GetStream/agent-skills --skill stream-docs -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/stream-docs/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add GetStream/agent-skills --skill stream-docs -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/stream-docs/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install GetStream/agent-skills stream-docs
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/stream-docs/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add GetStream/agent-skills --skill stream-docs -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/GetStream/agent-skills --path skills/stream-docs
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/stream-docs/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add GetStream/agent-skills --skill stream-docs -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/GetStream/agent-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/stream-docs/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- locate the right Stream SDK documentation page
- cite the current version of a documentation page
- substitute getstream docs output into a command without breaking stderr
- reach Stream docs without the CLI installed

## Example prompts
- Look up how to add push notifications in the Stream docs
- Show me the getstream docs -h options
- Cite the current page for the Stream Chat SDK setup

# Stream Docs (compatibility)

The recommended way to access Stream platform and SDK documentation is
`getstream docs`. Read `getstream docs -h` for supported arguments. Refer to
stream skill for CLI guidance.

In a command substitution like `$(getstream docs <id>)` don't add `2>&1` to
redirect stderr. The path you need is on stdout.

Cite every page you answer from with the URL in its "For the most recent version
of this documentation" line.

Only when the CLI cannot be installed, fall back to fetching
`https://getstream.io/docs/llms.txt` and following the links there. Cite the URL
of each page you used.
```
