Documentation Lookup (Context7)
When the user asks about libraries, frameworks, or APIs, fetch current documentation via the Context7 MCP (tools resolve-library-id and query-docs) instead of relying on training data.
When to Use This Skill
Activate when the user:
- Asks setup or configuration questions (e.g. "How do I configure Next.js middleware?")
- Requests code that depends on a library ("Write a Prisma query for...")
- Needs API or reference information ("What are the Supabase auth methods?")
- Mentions specific frameworks or libraries (React, Vue, Svelte, Express, Tailwind, Prisma, Supabase, etc.)
How to Fetch Documentation
Step 1: Resolve the Library ID
Call the resolve-library-id MCP tool with:
- libraryName: The library or product name taken from the user's question (e.g.
Next.js,Prisma,Supabase). - query: The user's full question. This improves relevance ranking of results.
You must obtain a Context7-compatible library ID (format /org/project or /org/project/version) before querying docs. Do not call query-docs without a valid library ID from this step.
Step 2: Select the Best Match
From the resolution results, choose one result using:
- Name match: Prefer exact or closest match to what the user asked for.
- Benchmark score: Higher scores indicate better documentation quality (100 is highest).
- Source reputation: Prefer High or Medium reputation when available.
- Version: If the user specified a version (e.g. "React 19", "Next.js 15"), prefer a version-specific library ID if listed (e.g.
/org/project/v1.2.0).
Step 3: Fetch the Documentation
Call the query-docs MCP tool with:
- libraryId: The selected Context7 library ID from Step 2 (e.g.
/vercel/next.js). - query: The user's specific question or task. Be specific to get relevant snippets.
Limit: do not call query-docs (or resolve-library-id) more than 3 times per question. If the answer is unclear after 3 calls, use the best information you have.
Step 4: Use the Documentation
- Answer the user's question using the fetched, current information.
- Include relevant code examples from the docs when helpful.
- Cite the library or version when it matters (e.g. "In Next.js 15...").
Guidelines
- Be specific: Use the user's full question as the query where possible for better relevance.
- Version awareness: When users mention versions, use version-specific library IDs from the resolve step when available.
- Prefer official sources: When multiple matches exist, prefer official or primary packages over community forks.
- No sensitive data: Do not include API keys, passwords, or other secrets in any query sent to Context7.
When to Use
Use this skill whenever the user's request depends on accurate, up-to-date behavior of a library, framework, or API. It applies across harnesses that have the Context7 MCP configured (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex with Context7).
