๐ค๐ FR: Local Docs Bundle - Stop Making Me Download 2MB to Learn What `/agents` Does ๐๐ธ
Resolved ๐ฌ 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
/agentscommand - Claude Code made a 2MB web request to the docs homepage
- Still couldn't find the actual
/agentsdocumentation - 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
- โก Instant access - No network latency
- ๐ฐ Cost efficient - No repeated web requests
- ๐ฏ Always accurate - Docs match your Claude Code version
- ๐ Works offline - No internet dependency for docs
- ๐ง 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 ๐คทโโ๏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. ๐ค๐
