Smart ClawdBot documentation access with local search index, cached snippets, and on-demand fetch

Clawd-Docs v2.0 - Smart Documentation Access

This skill provides intelligent access to ClawdBot documentation with:

  • Local search index - instant keyword lookup (0 tokens)
  • Cached snippets - pre-fetched common answers (~300-500 tokens)
  • On-demand fetch - full page when needed (~8-12k tokens)
  • Freshness tracking - TTL per page type

Quick Start

Step 1: Check Golden Snippets First

Before fetching anything, check if a Golden Snippet exists:

ls ~/clawd/data/docs-snippets/

Available snippets (check cache first!):

Snippet Query matches
telegram-setup.md "ako nastaviť telegram", "telegram setup"
telegram-allowfrom.md "allowFrom", "kto mi môže písať", "access control"
oauth-troubleshoot.md "token expired", "oauth error", "credentials"
update-procedure.md "ako updatnuť", "update clawdbot"
restart-gateway.md "restart", "reštart", "stop/start"
config-basics.md "config", "nastavenie", "konfigurácia"
config-providers.md "pridať provider", "discord setup", "nový kanál"
memory-search.md "memory", "vector search", "pamäť", "embeddings"

Read snippet:

cat ~/clawd/data/docs-snippets/telegram-setup.md

Step 2: Search Index (if snippet doesn't exist)

Check ~/clawd/data/docs-index.json for page suggestions.

Keyword matching:

  • "telegram" → channels/telegram
  • "oauth" → concepts/oauth, gateway/troubleshooting
  • "update" → install/updating
  • "config" → gateway/configuration

Step 3: Check Full Page Cache

BEFORE fetching via brightdata, check if the page is already cached:

# Convert path: concepts/memory → concepts_memory.md
ls ~/clawd/data/docs-cache/ | grep "concepts_memory"

If exists, read locally (0 tokens!):

cat ~/clawd/data/docs-cache/concepts_memory.md

Step 4: Fetch Page (only if NOT in cache)

Use native web_fetch tool (part of Clawdbot core - FREE and fast!):

web_fetch({ url: "https://docs.clawd.bot/{path}", extractMode: "markdown" })

Example:

web_fetch({ url: "https://docs.clawd.bot/tools/skills", extractMode: "markdown" })

web_fetch advantages:

web_fetch brightdata
Cost $0 (free!) ~$0.003/call
Speed ~400ms 2-5s
Quality Markdown ✅ Markdown ✅

Search Index Structure

Location: ~/clawd/data/docs-index.json

{
  "pages": [
    {
      "path": "channels/telegram",
      "ttl_days": 7,
      "keywords": ["telegram", "tg", "bot", "allowfrom"]
    }
  ],
  "synonyms": {
    "telegram": ["tg", "telegrambot"],
    "configuration": ["config", "nastavenie", "settings"]
  }
}

Use synonyms for fuzzy matching.


TTL Strategy (Freshness)

Page Category TTL Why
install/updating 1 day Always current!
gateway/* 7 days Config changes
channels/* 7 days Provider updates
tools/* 7 days Features added
concepts/* 14 days Rarely changes
reference/* 30 days Stable templates

Check snippet expiry:

head -10 ~/clawd/data/docs-snippets/telegram-setup.md | grep expires

Common Scenarios

"Ako nastaviť Telegram?"

  1. ✅ Read ~/clawd/data/docs-snippets/telegram-setup.md

"allowFrom nefunguje"

  1. ✅ Read ~/clawd/data/docs-snippets/telegram-allowfrom.md

"Token expired / oauth error"

  1. ✅ Read ~/clawd/data/docs-snippets/oauth-troubleshoot.md

"Ako updatnúť ClawdBot?"

  1. ✅ Read ~/clawd/data/docs-snippets/update-procedure.md

"Ako pridať nový skill?" (nie je snippet)

  1. Search index → tools/skills
  2. Fetch: web_fetch({ url: "https://docs.clawd.bot/tools/skills", extractMode: "markdown" })

"Multi-agent routing"

  1. Search index → concepts/multi-agent
  2. Fetch: web_fetch({ url: "https://docs.clawd.bot/concepts/multi-agent", extractMode: "markdown" })

Fallback: Full Index Refresh

If you can't find what you need:

web_fetch({ url: "https://docs.clawd.bot/llms.txt", extractMode: "markdown" })

Returns complete list of all documentation pages.


Token Efficiency Guide

Method Tokens When to use
Golden Snippet ~300-500 ✅ Always first!
Search Index 0 Keyword lookup
Full Page Fetch ~8-12k Last resort
Batch Fetch ~20-30k Multiple related topics

80-90% of queries should be answered from snippets!
