External Research

External documentation and research via Context7 and WebSearch.

When to Use

Source	Use For
Context7	Library APIs, method signatures, usage examples
WebSearch	Design patterns, architecture decisions, best practices

Context7 Workflow

1. resolve-library-id
   query: "<what you need>"
   libraryName: "<library name>"

2. query-docs
   libraryId: "<from step 1>"
   query: "<specific question>"

WebSearch Workflow

1. WebSearch(query: "<design question>")
2. Extract relevant patterns
3. Apply to implementation

Priority Decision

Apply an evidence hierarchy — primary documentation over secondary commentary:

Need library API details?
├─ Yes → Context7
└─ No  → Need design guidance?
         ├─ Yes → WebSearch
         └─ No  → Proceed with existing knowledge

Example

Adding rate limiting to Express API:

1. resolve-library-id
   query: "Express.js rate limiting"
   libraryName: "express-rate-limit"

2. query-docs
   libraryId: "/nfriedly/express-rate-limit"
   query: "middleware setup options"

3. Implement using verified current API
