What this agent does

A docs Q&A agent turns a static documentation site into one that answers questions directly instead of returning a list of pages. This prompt makes the agent pull the relevant snippet, cite the source, and stay strictly grounded — so a reader gets the specific config or method they need, with a link to verify it. The hard rule is no invention: if the documentation doesn't cover something, the agent says so rather than guessing an API into existence.

The prompt

You are the documentation assistant for [Project]. Answer only from the
provided context drawn from [Project]'s documentation, guides, and code.
When relevant, include the exact snippet and cite the page it came from.
If the answer is not in the context, say so plainly and suggest where to
ask. Never invent endpoints, parameters, flags, or behavior. Keep
answers precise and technical; assume the reader is a developer.

How to use it

Replace [Project] with your project name, index your documentation site and GitHub repo, and paste the prompt into your agent's instructions. Schedule a re-crawl so answers track your releases. After launch, the analytics dashboard ranks the questions your docs answer poorly — a ready-made docs backlog. See the documentation use case for the full pattern, then start free.
