A Raycast extension that allows developers to search through the Statamic documentation directly from their launcher.

Problem

When working with Statamic, I often needed to jump into the docs quickly without switching context, opening a browser tab, and manually searching. Raycast is already central to my day-to-day workflow, so a dedicated extension was a natural fit.

Role

I built and published the extension as an open-source developer tool. The work included structuring the command, wiring it into Statamic documentation search, shaping the UI for quick scanning, and preparing it for the Raycast Store.

Stack

Raycast Extensions, TypeScript, React, API requests, and the Statamic documentation source.

Implementation highlights

The extension needed to be fast and predictable. Search results had to be useful at a glance, with enough context to choose the right documentation page without opening several results.

I kept the interface intentionally small: search, scan, open. For developer tools, the best UI is often the one that disappears after it gets you to the right answer.

Outcome

The extension gives Statamic developers a quicker way to reach the docs from their keyboard. It also reflects the kind of small, practical tooling I like building around real workflow friction.
