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

Search for the library ID:

bash

   scripts/context7.sh search "library-name"

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).

Fetch documentation with a focused topic:

bash

   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

Parameter	Required	Description
`library-id`	Yes	From search results, format `/vendor/library`
`topic`	No	Focus area extracted from user query (e.g., `hooks`, `routing`, `validation`)
`mode`	No	`code` (default) for API references; `info` for conceptual guides

Examples

bash

# 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):

bash

export CONTEXT7_API_KEY="your-api-key"
