    "name": "Retrieve current reference material into a coding agent's context",
    "outcome": "A coding agent works from the current, version-correct documentation, API specification or source of the libraries and repositories it touches, fetched on demand while it works, instead of from what its model remembers.",
    "description": "The job is retrieval, not authorship: a solution claiming it fetches reference material that someone else wrote or generated (library docs, an OpenAPI document, a repository's own files or a generated wiki of them) and returns the relevant passages, pinned to the version in use, inside the agent's turn. It differs from eng.write-documentation, which produces documentation from a codebase, and from it.answer-internal-knowledge-questions, which answers people from a company's private knowledge. Typical shapes: a hosted MCP server a coding agent calls, a REST API keyed by library and version, a CLI that pastes passages into a prompt.",
