### AI overview

The article introduces k6 x docs, an official k6 2.0 command that provides k6 documentation directly in the terminal. It supports API references, guides, best practices, and examples; works offline after the first lookup; matches documentation to the installed k6 version; and includes an agent skill for AI coding assistants.

### Source excerpt

As testing workflows become more AI-assisted, fast access to accurate documentation matters more than ever. Whether you're writing a new load test, troubleshooting an issue, or having an AI agent generate a script for you, you need reliable guidance that keeps pace with the way you work. But most documentation still lives in a browser. Every time you or your agent needs to verify an API or look up a best practice, you're forced to leave your terminal or editor and interrupt your workflow. That's why, in k6 2.0, we introduced k6 x docs, an official k6 command that puts the entire k6 documentation library, including API references, guides, best practices, and examples, directly in your terminal. It works offline after first use, matches the docs to your exact k6 version, and includes a built-in agent skill, so AI coding assistants can look up k6 docs faster and most cost-effectively. The problem: documentation lives in the wrong place Most developers know the feeling. You're writing a k6 script, you need to check the signature for http.post or remember how thresholds work, and suddenly you're in a browser tab, searching, scrolling, clicking through navigation, and losing the context you had in your editor. For AI agents, the problem is worse. When they need to reference k6 APIs, best practices, or examples, they either rely on stale training data, hallucinate a function signature, or burn expensive tokens on a web search that may not return the right version of the docs. k6 x docs solves both problems by making documentation a first-class part of the k6 CLI. It gives agents CLI access to k6 docs that automatically detect the k6 version in use and deliver accurate content without leaving the session or performing web searches. How k6 x docs works The use is simple: type k6 x docs, optionally followed by the topic you want to look up. k6 x docs # See all available topics k6 x docs http # Learn about the k6/http module k6 x docs http get # Look up a specific function k6
