You can give it the docs as an "artifact" in a project - this feature has been available for almost one year now.
Or better yet, use the desktop version + a filesystem MCP server pointing to a folder containing your docs. Tell it to look at the docs and refactor as necessary. It is extremely effective at this. It might also work if you just give it a link to the docs.
The agent reached out to the internet and pulled the golangci-lint docs. Repeatedly. After generating a v1-compatible config I pointed it to the v2 docs. It tried to do the automatic migration but still wound up with incorrect syntax. I asked it to throw away what it had and build a fresh v2-compatible config. It again consulted the docs. Repeat ad nauseam.
I threw in the towel and had a working config in ten minutes.
