Summary

k6 2.0 introduces k6 x docs, a command-line documentation tool intended to keep k6 API references, guides, examples, and best practices accessible directly within developers’ terminals and AI-assisted workflows. The command supports hierarchical topic lookups and keyword searches, caches documentation for offline use after the first request, and automatically serves content matching the installed k6 version. It also provides shell completions, terminal-friendly Markdown rendering, pager and width options, and an installable agent skill that helps AI coding assistants obtain authoritative k6 guidance instead of relying on stale information or web searches. Available by default in k6 2.0 and version 1.7.0 or later, the underlying Go documentation package can also be used by external tools such as the k6 MCP server, while the feature forms part of a broader set of AI-focused k6 x commands.
