context7

Use when looking up library documentation, API references, framework patterns, or code examples for ANY library (React, Next.js, Vue, Django, Laravel, etc.) and the Context7 MCP server is unavailable or not configured. Fetches the same current docs directly via the Context7 REST API as a fallback. Triggers on: how to use library, API docs, framework pattern, import usage, library example.

What does this agent skill do?

Context7 Documentation Lookup Skill

Fetch current library documentation, API references, and code examples via the Context7 REST API.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks about library APIs, framework patterns, or version-specific behavior. Trigger on:

  • Library questions: "How do I use [library]?", "[library] API docs", "[library] patterns"
  • Import statements: import, require, from followed by a library name
  • Framework-specific topics: hooks, routing, middleware, ORM queries, schema definitions

When NOT to Use

Do NOT use this skill for:

  • General programming concepts (closures, recursion, design patterns)
  • Code review or refactoring tasks
  • Debugging business logic
  • Writing scripts from scratch without library-specific questions

Core Workflow

  1. Search for the library ID:

    scripts/context7.sh search "library-name"
    
  2. Pick the best result: Choose the ID with the highest score and most relevant description. Prefer official sources (e.g., /vercel/next.js over community forks).

  3. Fetch documentation with a focused topic:

    scripts/context7.sh docs "<library-id>" "<topic>" "<mode>"
    

Always extract a specific topic from the user's question. For "How does React Suspense work with server components?", use topic suspense server components.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
library-idYesFrom search results, format /vendor/library
topicNoFocus area extracted from user query (e.g., hooks, routing, validation)
modeNocode (default) for API references; info for conceptual guides

Examples

# React hooks API
scripts/context7.sh search "react"
scripts/context7.sh docs "/facebook/react" "hooks" "code"

# Next.js App Router conceptual guide
scripts/context7.sh search "nextjs"
scripts/context7.sh docs "/vercel/next.js" "app router" "info"

# Django ORM queries
scripts/context7.sh search "django"
scripts/context7.sh docs "/django/django" "queryset filter" "code"

# Laravel Eloquent relationships
scripts/context7.sh search "laravel"
scripts/context7.sh docs "/laravel/framework" "eloquent relationships" "code"

Environment Configuration

Set CONTEXT7_API_KEY for higher rate limits (optional):

export CONTEXT7_API_KEY="your-api-key"
