Provide LLMs markdown documentation of libraries and frameworks

Hey HN! We realised that LLMs are great at generating code for super popular libraries like React. But they kinda suck at using less popular/newly released libraries, forcing us to stick to established tools and hindering innovation. There is already a standard for creating documentation for LLMs (llmstxt.org), but in my experience the implementations have not been great so far. `llms.txt` works as a good index of the available pages, but in many cases they link to HTML pages. This is a waste for LLMs to parse through (For example, Hono's [best…

What it does

Provide LLMs hosted, clean markdown documentation of libraries and frameworks - CartographAI/atlas-docs-mcp

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with documentation for libraries and frameworks. Atlas Docs is currently in beta. Not everything might work perfectly, but we're actively improving the service. Your patience and feedback are greatly appreciated! LLMs are great at generating general code, but suck at correctly using less popular or newly released libraries. This isn't surprising, since the models have not been trained comprehensively on code using these libraries. { "mcpServers" : { "atlas-docs" : { "command" : " npx " , "args" : [ " -y " , " @cartographai/atlas-docs-mcp " ] } } } That's it! You may need to restart the app (for Claude Desktop) for the server…from github.com

    Docs.codes generates simple markdowns for open-source libraries that you can add to the context of your LLM assistants, helping them generate better code. Here's a quick walkthrough with pypi/mem0ai as example: https://youtu.be/SKZol8G_tIE LLMs struggle with generating correct code when using lesser-known libraries or dealing with major version changes that happen after their training cutoff. With these markdowns, you can ensure that your LLM chat/coding assistants have up-to-date knowledge of the library's API and usage patterns. We built this using the latest…

    DocAsker – Use LLMs to ask documentation questions2023 · docasker.com · ▲97

    We've built this over the last few weeks to leverage vector search and LLMs (this is backed by GPT-3.5, though we're also testing Flan-T5) to answer question over large sets of documents with references. Currently, we've ingested the documentation for React and some key adjacent libraries (Redux, React-Redux, React-Router, MUI). This allows you to ask various natural language questions and the output is hopefully a relevant answer with code examples if applicable, while sourcing the original docs whenever possible. We're working on adding up more documentations and have more "general"…

  • LLM-docs, software documentation intended for consumption by LLMs2025 · github.com · ▲28

    I was inspired by a recent tweet by Andrej Karpathy, as well as my own experience copying and pasting a bunch of html docs into Claude yesterday and bemoaning how long-winded and poorly formatted it was. I’m trying to decide if I should make it into a full-fledged service and completely automate the process of generating the distilled documentation. Problem is that it would cost a lot in API tokens and wouldn’t generate any revenue (plus it would have to be updated as documentation changes significantly). Maybe Anthropic wants to fund it as a public good? Let me know!

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
