Look up Emacs documentation

Look up Emacs documentation using emacsclient --eval and summarize the findings. The query is searched across multiple mechanisms (function, variable, face, key binding, and apropos) in one call, returning all findings as a single string.

First, locate agent-skill-describe.el which lives alongside this skill file at skills/describe/agent-skill-describe.el in the emacs-skills plugin directory.

emacsclient --eval '
(progn
  (load "/path/to/skills/describe/agent-skill-describe.el" nil t)
  (agent-skill-describe :query "dired-mark"))'

Rules

  • Summarize the returned documentation for the user in the conversation.
  • Locate agent-skill-describe.el relative to this skill file's directory.
  • Run the emacsclient --eval command via the Bash tool.
