๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ“š FR: Local Docs Bundle - Stop Making Me Download 2MB to Learn What `/agents` Does ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’ธ

Resolved ๐Ÿ’ฌ 9 comments Opened Jul 25, 2025 by j-greig Closed Nov 29, 2025

Summary

Currently, Claude Code fetches documentation from the web every time I ask about features, resulting in slow 2MB requests to load a doc homepaeg that don't even contain the specific information I need. This is inefficient, expensive, and frankly embarrassing for an AI coding tool.

Problem

  • Asked about the new /agents command
  • Claude Code made a 2MB web request to the docs homepage
  • Still couldn't find the actual /agents documentation
  • Wasted time, tokens, and bandwidth for zero useful information

Proposed Solution

Bundle local documentation with Claude Code updates

  • Ship docs as local files that update with each Claude Code version
  • Instant access to accurate, version-matched documentation
  • No more web requests for basic feature documentation
  • No more "I can't find that in the 2MB homepage I just downloaded"

Benefits

  • โšก Instant access - No network latency
  • ๐Ÿ’ฐ Cost efficient - No repeated web requests
  • ๐ŸŽฏ Always accurate - Docs match your Claude Code version
  • ๐Ÿ”’ Works offline - No internet dependency for docs
  • ๐Ÿง  Better UX - Claude actually knows what features exist

Current Workaround

Manually reading web docs while Claude Code pretends it can help with documentation queries.

Expected Behavior

user: how does /agents work?
claude: *instantly accesses local docs* The /agents command allows you to...

Not:

user: how does /agents work?  
claude: *downloads entire internet* I fetched 2MB but still don't know ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

---
This feels like a no-brainer feature that should have shipped with v1. Please make Claude Code actually know what Claude Code does. Sincerely, a developer who asked a simple question and somehow triggered a bandwidth apocalypse. ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ’”
