1	# Context7 Documentation Lookup Skill
2
3	Fetch current library documentation, API references, and code examples via the Context7 REST API.
4
5	## When to Use
6
7	Use this skill when the user asks about library APIs, framework patterns, or version-specific behavior. Trigger on:
8
9	- Library questions: "How do I use [library]?", "[library] API docs", "[library] patterns"
10	- Import statements: `import`, `require`, `from` followed by a library name
11	- Framework-specific topics: hooks, routing, middleware, ORM queries, schema definitions
12
13	## When NOT to Use
14
15	Do NOT use this skill for:
16
17	- General programming concepts (closures, recursion, design patterns)
18	- Code review or refactoring tasks
19	- Debugging business logic
20	- Writing scripts from scratch without library-specific questions
21
22	## Core Workflow
23
24	1. Search for the library ID:
25	```bash
26	scripts/context7.sh search "library-name"
27	```
28
29	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).
30
31	3. Fetch documentation with a focused topic:
32	```bash
33	scripts/context7.sh docs "<library-id>" "<topic>" "<mode>"
34	```
35
36	Always extract a specific topic from the user's question. For "How does React Suspense work with server components?", use topic `suspense server components`.
37
38	## Parameters
39
40	\| Parameter \| Required \| Description \|
41	\|-----------\|----------\|-------------\|
42	\| `library-id` \| Yes \| From search results, format `/vendor/library` \|
43	\| `topic` \| No \| Focus area extracted from user query (e.g., `hooks`, `routing`, `validation`) \|
44	\| `mode` \| No \| `code` (default) for API references; `info` for conceptual guides \|
45
46	## Examples
47
48	```bash
49	# React hooks API
50	scripts/context7.sh search "react"
51	scripts/context7.sh docs "/facebook/react" "hooks" "code"
52
53	# Next.js App Router conceptual guide
54	scripts/context7.sh search "nextjs"
55	scripts/context7.sh docs "/vercel/next.js" "app router" "info"
56
57	# Django ORM queries
58	scripts/context7.sh search "django"
59	scripts/context7.sh docs "/django/django" "queryset filter" "code"
60
61	# Laravel Eloquent relationships
62	scripts/context7.sh search "laravel"
63	scripts/context7.sh docs "/laravel/framework" "eloquent relationships" "code"
64	```
65
66	## Environment Configuration
67
68	Set `CONTEXT7_API_KEY` for higher rate limits (optional):
69
70	```bash
71	export CONTEXT7_API_KEY="your-api-key"
72	```
