When the user asks about libraries, frameworks, or needs code examples, use Context7 to fetch current documentation instead of relying on training data.

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when the user:

Asks setup or configuration questions ("How do I configure Next.js middleware?")

Requests code involving libraries ("Write a Prisma query for...")

Needs API references ("What are the Supabase auth methods?")

Mentions specific frameworks (React, Vue, Svelte, Express, Tailwind, etc.)

How to Fetch Documentation

Step 1: Resolve the Library ID

Call

resolve-library-id

with:

libraryName

The library name extracted from the user's question

query

The user's full question (improves relevance ranking)

Step 2: Select the Best Match

From the resolution results, choose based on:

Exact or closest name match to what the user asked for

Higher benchmark scores indicate better documentation quality

If the user mentioned a version (e.g., "React 19"), prefer version-specific IDs

Step 3: Fetch the Documentation

Call

query-docs

with:

libraryId

The selected Context7 library ID (e.g.,

/vercel/next.js

)

query

The user's specific question

Step 4: Use the Documentation

Incorporate the fetched documentation into your response:

Answer the user's question using current, accurate information

Include relevant code examples from the docs

Cite the library version when relevant

Guidelines

Be specific

Pass the user's full question as the query for better results

Version awareness

When users mention versions ("Next.js 15", "React 19"), use version-specific library IDs if available from the resolution step

Prefer official sources

When multiple matches exist, prefer official/primary packages over community forks
