Installation

From npm (Recommended)

From source

git clone https://github.com/Nik-09/doc-pilot.git
cd doc-pilot
npm install

Setup

1. Get a Gemini API key from Google AI Studio

2. On first use, the tool will prompt you for your API key:

doc-pilot find express use

Or set it manually:

doc-pilot config --set-api-key

Usage

Find documentation

doc-pilot find <library> <function>

Examples:

# Get documentation for express.use()
doc-pilot find express use

# Get documentation for Array.map()
doc-pilot find Array map

# Get documentation for lodash.debounce()
doc-pilot find lodash debounce

Configuration commands

# Show current configuration
doc-pilot config --show-config

# Set or update API key
doc-pilot config --set-api-key

# Reset configuration
doc-pilot config --reset

How it works

1. You run the command with a library and function name
2. doc-pilot checks if the library is in your local package.json
3. It queries Google Gemini with version context (if available)
4. Returns formatted documentation with examples

Configuration is stored in ~/.doc-pilot/config.json
