What it does

Gives developers a /docs slash command in Discord that searches your ReadMe documentation on demand and returns the best-matching pages as an ephemeral reply only they can see. It is a fast, explicit lookup that doesn't clutter the channel.

When to use it

Run this when developers want to actively look something up rather than wait for the passive answer bot, or when you want a low-noise way to surface docs without posting public messages. Pair it with the answer bot for full coverage.

How it works

  1. 1A developer invokes the /docs slash command with a query, which triggers the run via the Discord interaction webhook.
  2. 2The flow searches ReadMe for pages matching the query terms.
  3. 3A logic step ranks results and trims to the top few with snippets.
  4. 4An LLM step writes a one-line summary for each result so the developer can pick quickly.
  5. 5The flow returns an ephemeral Discord reply listing the titles, summaries, and direct links.
