Look up current API signatures from installed Mastra packages in node_modules/@mastra/*/dist/docs/. Use this skill to verify exact parameters, constructor arguments, and function signatures that match the installed version. Mastra APIs evolve rapidly - embedded docs ensure accuracy. Covers: Agent constructor parameters, Workflow API, Tool API, Memory configuration, Storage options, and all @mastra/* package exports. Returns actual TypeScript definitions and JSDoc from installed packages. Always use for API verification questions to prevent outdated answers.

## Documentation Structure
```
node_modules/@mastra/core/dist/docs/
├── SKILL.md # Package overview, exports
├── SOURCE_MAP.json # Export→file mappings
└── [topics]/ # Feature docs (agents/, workflows/, etc.)
```
---
## Lookup Process
**1. Find the export:**
```bash
cat node_modules/@mastra/core/dist/docs/SOURCE_MAP.json | grep '"Agent"'
```
Returns: `{ "Agent": { "types": "dist/agent/agent.d.ts", ... } }`
**2. Read type definition:**
```bash
cat node_modules/@mastra/core/dist/agent/agent.d.ts
```
**3. Check topic docs:**
```bash
cat node_modules/@mastra/core/dist/docs/agents/01-overview.md
```
