Documentation Link Mapper

Map the navigation structure of documentation websites to understand their hierarchy before creating Claude Code skills.

Purpose

Extract the sidebar/navigation structure from documentation sites, producing a hierarchical tree of sections and subsections with their URLs. This enables systematic skill creation covering each documentation area.

When to Use

• Before creating skills for a library/framework
• When needing to understand docs structure
• When planning comprehensive documentation coverage

Process

Step 1: Fetch the Documentation Page

Use WebFetch to retrieve the documentation page and extract navigation links:

WebFetch the documentation URL with prompt:
"Extract the sidebar/navigation structure. Return a hierarchical list of all documentation sections and subsections with their URLs. Format as:

Section Name → /path
  - Subsection 1 → /path/subsection1
  - Subsection 2 → /path/subsection2

Include ALL navigation links, preserving parent-child relationships."

Step 2: Format the Output

Present the structure as a tree showing the hierarchy:

Getting started
  - Installation → /docs/installation
  - Quick start → /docs/quickstart
API Reference
  - Methods → /docs/api/methods
  - Properties → /docs/api/properties

Step 3: Identify Skill Groupings

Analyze the structure to suggest logical skill groupings:

1. Core concepts - Installation, getting started, basics
2. API sections - Methods, properties, events
3. Advanced topics - Performance, plugins, extensions
4. Examples/Recipes - Common patterns, tutorials

Output Format

Provide both:

1. Tree view - Human-readable hierarchical structure
2. Flat list - All URLs for systematic crawling

Tips

• Some sites load navigation dynamically - if WebFetch returns incomplete results, note this limitation
• Focus on the documentation sidebar, not header/footer navigation
• Preserve the exact URL paths for later content fetching
• Group related sections when suggesting skill structure

Example Usage

User: "Map the animejs documentation structure"

Response:

1. Fetch https://animejs.com/documentation
2. Extract navigation structure
3. Present tree view
4. Suggest skill groupings for comprehensive coverage
