## What it does

The skill routes Stripe documentation and API reference requests through `stripe docs` instead of `curl` or `WebFetch`. It can read a page by web path, search by keyword, and look up an API resource, an HTTP method and path, or an event type.

The command fetches Markdown automatically. Gated documentation requires `stripe login`, and CLI versions below `v1.50.9` cannot access it. That makes checking the CLI version necessary before requesting gated pages.

The skill is built for agent and terminal workflows. Its available commands are `stripe docs`, `stripe login`, and `stripe version`.

Use `stripe docs` instead of fetching [docs.stripe.com](https://docs.stripe.com/.md) content directly with `curl` or `WebFetch`. If you don’t have the CLI installed, [install the Stripe CLI](https://docs.stripe.com/cli/install).

Always use the latest CLI version. If the current CLI version is less than v1.50.9, you must [upgrade](https://docs.stripe.com/cli/install) to access gated documentation.

- Fetches Markdown automatically
- Fetches gated documentation. Users must log in using `stripe login` to access gated documentation.
- Purpose-built for agents and terminal workflows

## Read a page by its web path

```bash
stripe docs /payments
```

## Search documentation by keyword

```bash
stripe docs search "payment intents"
```

## Look up API reference

```bash
# By resource name
stripe docs api product

# By HTTP method and path
stripe docs api GET /v1/products

# By event type
stripe docs api product.created
```
