# `bird docs read`

## Usage

```bash
bird docs read [flags]
```

## Description

Fetch the full Markdown of one Bird documentation page by its slug (the slug field of a docs_search result). Search snippets are previews, not answers: read the whole page with this before you answer, and cite the page's url as the source. Use the slug index for the documentation landing page. Public; no authentication required.

## Examples

```bash
bird docs read <slug>
```
