# AI Assistant

Holocron includes a built-in AI chat assistant that appears as a sidebar widget. Users can ask questions about your documentation and get answers based on the docs content.

## Enabling and disabling

The assistant is enabled by default. To disable it:

```json
{
  "assistant": {
    "enabled": false
  }
}
```

When disabled, the sidebar widget, chat drawer, mobile "Ask AI" button, and the chat API endpoint are all hidden.

## How it works

The assistant uses the Holocron AI gateway to process questions. When deployed, it reads your docs content and generates answers grounded in your documentation pages.

## What gets disabled

Setting `enabled: false` removes:

* The sidebar chat widget
* The chat drawer overlay
* The mobile "Ask AI" floating button
* The `/holocron-api/chat` endpoint

## Skill loading

The assistant can load remote `SKILL.md` files and make them available as context. Skills are fetched, cached, and presented to the AI model as available knowledge sources.
