Claude Code docs mirror vs online docs – which is better?

The mirror is better for offline access and speed, but online docs might be more up-to-date instantly and have interactive features the local copy lacks.

Does Claude Code docs mirror work on Windows?

No, Windows is not yet supported, but the README welcomes contributions to add compatibility, so it's limited to macOS and Linux for now.

How to manually update the documentation?

Use /docs -t to check sync status and force updates, or manually run git pull in the ~/.claude-code-docs directory as per the troubleshooting section.

Is it safe to install this tool?

It modifies local files like settings.json and uses Git hooks; review the code if concerned, as it's open source and the README advises forking for security.

Can I change the slash command from /docs to something else?

Yes, rename the command file in ~/.claude/commands/ to customize the name, allowing flexibility as shown in the README's examples.
