Any way to import documentation?

[harumon]

Is there any way to import documentation into Cody as context? Similar to how Cursor does it. It’s super useful for working with lesser known packages that the model has extremely outdated information on.

Does that actually work well in Cursor? I mean, does Cursor really reference it?

I haven’t really tested it, but here’s a shorts from supabase flutter team https://youtube.com/shorts/Uy3G2zSrZEg?si=-Rnob_S7w0HtqfQg

To import documents as context, there are several ways.

1. You can utilize OpenCtx and configure the DevDocs.io provider for all kind of API documentation: OpenCtx Context Providers - Sourcegraph docs
2. You can use the Web URL '@-mention feature in the chat directly.
3. You can download an additional extension for VS Code: Cody Architect - Visual Studio Marketplace

I hope that helps

Thanks! Yeah, I had tried that feature but wasn’t fully convinced so far. I often got the feeling Cursor wasn’t really making use of all the indexed docs it had. Anyway, I’ll give it another try.
