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
