One trick I use that might work for you as well:
Clone GitHub.com/simonw/datasette to /tmp
then look at /tmp/docs/datasette for
documentation and search the code
if you need to
If your framework is missing documentation tell Claude Code to write itself some documentation based on what it learns from reading the code!
Potentially because there is no baggage with similar frameworks. I'm sure it would have an easier time with this if it was not spun off from other frameworks.

If Claude cannot read the code well enough to begin with, and needs supplemental documentation, I certainly don't want it generating the docs from the code. That's just compounding hallucinations on top of each other.
I find Claude Code is so good at docs that I sometimes investigate a new library by checking out a GitHub repo, deleting the docs/ and README and having Claude write fresh docs from scratch.
That's great that this is your experience, but it's not a lot of people's. There are projects where it's just not going to know what to do.
I'm working in a web framework that is a Frankenstein-ing of Laravel and October CMS. It's so easy for the agent to get confused because, even when I tell it this is a different framework, it sees things that look like Laravel or October CMS and suggests solutions that are only for those frameworks. So there's constant made up methods and getting stuck in loops.
The documentation is terrible, you just have to read the code. Which, despite what people say, Cursor is terrible at, because embeddings are not a real way to read a codebase.
