Provides access to ~1000 seekdb documentation entries through a catalog-based search system.
Version Info
- Documentation versions covered: V1.0.0, V1.1.0 (merged, latest takes priority)
- Latest version: V1.1.0
- The
branchfield in catalog entries indicates which Git branch hosts the file (used for remote fallback URLs only). It does NOT indicate which seekdb version the content applies to — many docs apply to all versions. - If the user asks about a specific seekdb version, note that this documentation set reflects the latest available content and may not distinguish version-specific differences.
Path Resolution (Do First)
All resource paths are relative to this SKILL.md's location. Resolve the skill directory first:
- Read this SKILL.md to get its absolute path
- Extract the parent directory as
<skill_dir> - Catalog:
<skill_dir>references/seekdb-docs-catalog.jsonl - Docs base:
<skill_dir>seekdb-docs/
Workflow
Step 1: Search Catalog
Grep search (preferred for ~90% of queries):
grep -i "keyword" <skill_dir>references/seekdb-docs-catalog.jsonl
Full catalog load (only when grep returns no results or semantic matching is needed):
- Local:
<skill_dir>references/seekdb-docs-catalog.jsonl - Remote fallback:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oceanbase/seekdb-ecology-plugins/main/agent-skills/skills/seekdb/references/seekdb-docs-catalog.jsonl - Format: JSONL — one
{"path": "...", "description": "...", "branch": "..."}per line (~1000 entries)
Step 2: Match Query
- Extract
path,description, andbranchfrom search results - Select entries whose descriptions best match the query semantically (match by meaning, not just keywords)
- Consider multiple matches for comprehensive answers
Step 3: Read Document
Local-first with remote fallback:
- Try local:
<skill_dir>seekdb-docs/[path] - Fallback:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oceanbase/seekdb-doc/[branch]/en-US/[path][branch]comes from the catalog entry'sbranchfield (e.g.V1.0.0,V1.1.0)- Docs span multiple version branches; some files only exist in a specific branch
Example
Query: "How to integrate with Claude Code?"
1. grep -i "claude code" <skill_dir>references/seekdb-docs-catalog.jsonl
2. Match: {"path": "300.integrations/300.developer-tools/700.claude-code.md",
"description": "This guide explains how to use the seekdb plugin with Claude Code...",
"branch": "V1.0.0"}
3. Read: <skill_dir>seekdb-docs/300.integrations/300.developer-tools/700.claude-code.md
Fallback: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oceanbase/seekdb-doc/V1.0.0/en-US/300.integrations/300.developer-tools/700.claude-code.md
See examples.md for more complete workflow examples.
Notes
- Optional local docs: Run
scripts/update_docs.shto download and merge docs from all version branches locally - Multi-version: Docs span multiple branches; the update script merges them and records each file's source branch in the catalog
- Offline capable: With local docs and catalog present, works completely offline
