List the Libraries Your Project Uses with vg lib

Use vg lib to access version-correct library docs pinned to your lockfile — the Free Dev Docs Library, served offline to any AI assistant. Learn how it keeps docs aligned with the versions you actually run.

Vibgrate Docs

Vibgrate Help

AI assistants frequently cite documentation for the wrong version of a library, producing code that does not match what you actually have installed. vg lib solves this by serving version-correct library docs pinned to your lockfile — this is Vibgrate AI Context, surfaced publicly as the Free Dev Docs Library at /library. This article shows how to use it.

Overview

vg lib provides documentation for the libraries your project depends on, pinned to the exact versions in your lockfile. Docs come from the hosted catalog or from local ingestion, and once retrieved they are available offline. The result is documentation that matches the version you run — not whatever an AI model happened to memorize.

Prerequisites

You need a project with a lockfile (for example a package manifest and its lock). Vibgrate reads it to determine which versions to pin docs to.

Use the library

vg lib

This works against the libraries detected in your project, giving you docs aligned to your installed versions. Because the docs are version-correct, code suggestions built on them are far less likely to reference APIs that do not exist in your version or to miss ones that do.

Serving docs to AI assistants

The library is part of Vibgrate AI Context, the local offline MCP server. Start it so any connected AI assistant can read your version-correct docs (along with your code map and drift):

vg serve

No account is required and nothing is uploaded. To wire the context server directly into an assistant such as Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Codex, or Gemini:

vg install

Why version-correct matters

  • Fewer hallucinated APIs. Suggestions are grounded in the version you actually use.
  • Offline and private. After first retrieval, docs are available without a network round trip and stay on your machine.
  • Lockfile-driven. When you upgrade a dependency, the pinned docs follow.
