ask-docs
Query the official CrewAI documentation for answers. Use when the user has a CrewAI question that isn't fully covered by the getting-started, design-agent, design-task skills — e.g., specific API details, configuration options, advanced features, troubleshooting errors, enterprise features, tool references, or anything where the latest docs are the best source of truth.

About ask-docs
The `ask-docs` skill allows users to query the official CrewAI documentation directly to obtain accurate and up-to-date information about CrewAI features, APIs, configurations, and advanced functionality. It is specifically designed to fill knowledge gaps not covered by other CrewAI skills, such as getting-started, design-agent, or design-task. By leveraging the official documentation, this skill ensures that users receive authoritative answers, particularly when dealing with niche features, troubleshooting errors, or verifying current API syntax and parameters.
Key capabilities of the `ask-docs` skill include fetching a structured index of all CrewAI documentation pages, locating relevant pages based on user queries, retrieving the page content, and synthesizing clear, actionable answers while citing the original documentation. It supports queries related to API references, concepts, enterprise features, tools libraries, MCP integration, examples and cookbooks, learning paths, and observability. Users can optionally integrate the CrewAI docs MCP server for a more structured and enriched search experience, though the primary workflow functions fully with the publicly available `llms.txt` index and documentation pages.
The `ask-docs` skill is intended for developers, engineers, and CrewAI users who need precise and authoritative information beyond basic tutorials or general guidance. Common use cases include verifying API method signatures, troubleshooting validation or configuration errors, exploring advanced or enterprise-specific features, and comparing nuanced behavior between CrewAI processes or tools. It is ideal for anyone who requires reliable documentation-based answers to complex or specialized CrewAI questions.
FAQ
When should I use the ask-docs skill?
Use this skill when you need information about CrewAI features, API parameters, troubleshooting, or advanced functionality not covered by the other skills. Avoid it for questions already addressed by getting-started, design-agent, or design-task skills.
How does ask-docs fetch documentation?
The skill first retrieves a structured index of documentation pages from `https://docs.crewai.com/llms.txt`, identifies the relevant page based on the user query, fetches its content, and synthesizes an answer while citing the original URL.
Can I use ask-docs without any setup?
Yes, the basic workflow works directly with the `llms.txt` index and documentation pages. Optional integration with the CrewAI docs MCP server provides a richer, structured search experience but is not required.
Does ask-docs cover enterprise features?
Yes, it can provide information on enterprise-specific features such as RBAC, SSO, automations, deployment, and integrations, as long as the information is available in the official documentation.
Are there limitations to the skill?
The skill relies on the official documentation and cannot provide information outside of it. It should not be used for questions already answered by other CrewAI skills or for speculative guidance.
