context7

name	context7
description	Fetch up-to-date library documentation via Context7 REST API. Use when needing current API docs, framework patterns, or code examples for any library. Use when user asks about React, Next.js, Prisma, Express, Vue, Angular, Svelte, or any npm/PyPI package. Use when user says 'how do I use X library', 'what's the API for Y', or needs official documentation. Lightweight alternative to Context7 MCP with no persistent context overhead.

Context7 Documentation Lookup Skill

Fetch current library documentation, API references, and code examples without MCP context overhead.

Works on all platforms via REST API.

When to Use

Activate automatically when:

• User asks about library APIs or framework patterns
• User requests code generation using specific libraries/frameworks
• Import statements suggest documentation needs: import, require, from
• Questions about specific library versions or migration
• Need for official documentation patterns vs generic solutions
• Setting up or configuring third-party tools
• "How do I use X library?", "What's the API for Y?"

Examples:

• "Create Next.js middleware with authentication" → Use context7
• "Set up Prisma with PostgreSQL" → Use context7
• "Implement Supabase authentication" → Use context7
