I use claude code daily, but I've never been in a situation where Claude code was "deciding which product to use," that doesn't make sense to me. Claude is never on the web reading documentation - as far as I can tell that's not even in its toolkit. Can anyone give me more context for this? How do you end up having Claude code reading documentation and "choosing" a product to use? What type of prompts lead to this? I'm typically using it to add features to an existing repo, which doesn't really require any new services, to be fair, so I just haven't run into it I guess, but I didn't even know it was possible.

Wow that's really interesting. Something I do very often, for libraries, languages, APIs, even shopping is:

"look into the possibilities for X search the web, do thorough comparison. look on HackerNews both to gather sources and gauge sentiment in the comments"

this yields pretty good results IMO.

If I am using an API/library, I will also ask "is this approach idiomatic? what does the documentation say? look through at least 10 pages online"
