Context7 Auto Research
Overview
context7-auto-research is an optional alternative to the normal documentation-lookup flow.
Use it when you specifically want a more automatic Context7-driven docs retrieval mode for library and framework questions.
In this workspace it is not a core routing default and should not compete with documentation-lookup as a second always-on docs layer.
Use when
- The task is heavily library/framework dependent
- The user explicitly wants auto-research behavior for docs lookup
- A current-docs answer is needed and the normal docs lookup path is insufficient or too manual
Rules for this workspace
- Prefer
documentation-lookup as the canonical docs-current layer in normal routing
- Use this skill only as an optional alternative
- Do not treat both as co-equal core layers at the same time
- Keep queries free of secrets or sensitive data
Recommended workflow
1. Identify the library or framework
State the target technology clearly.
2. Fetch current documentation
Use the configured docs-current tooling path to retrieve:
- setup/config guidance
- API behavior
- examples
- version-sensitive notes
3. Summarize and apply
Return:
- docs source used
- relevant current behavior
- implementation guidance
- uncertainty if the docs remain ambiguous
Output contract
When this skill is used, the result should include:
- Library/framework
- Docs source used
- Relevant current behavior
- Implementation guidance
