# Auto-Research with Live Documentation

Libraries change faster than training data. The auto-research pattern is simple: before writing 
code against a library, fetch its current documentation into context, then generate code from that 
— never from memory of an old API.

## Overview

Stale API knowledge is the top cause of hallucinated code: invented parameters, renamed functions, 
deprecated patterns. The fix is a research step that retrieves the live docs for exactly the 
library and version in use and puts them in front of the model. This turns code generation into 
grounded generation — the model quotes real signatures instead of reconstructing them from memory.
