| description | Use when a user asks to search, install, list, or remove skills with the Context7 ctx7 skills CLI (including npx ctx7) and needs correct subcommands or client flags. |
Context7 Skills
Overview
Use the Context7 CLI to manage skills via ctx7 skills (or npx ctx7 skills). Keep commands short, explicit, and limited to search/install/list/remove.
Scope
- Covers only Context7 CLI skill management:
ctx7 skills search|install|list|remove.
- Does not cover Context7 MCP docs, agents, or API tools.
Quick Reference
| Action | Command | Notes |
|---|
| Search | ctx7 skills search <query> | Use multiple keywords if needed. npx ctx7 is fine. |
| Install | `ctx7 skills install [skill ...] [--cursor | --claude |
| List | `ctx7 skills list [--cursor | --claude |
| Remove | `ctx7 skills remove [--cursor | --claude |
Implementation
Example session:
npx ctx7 skills search pytorch
ctx7 skills install /anthropics/skills uv
ctx7 skills list --claude
Rationalization Table
| Excuse | Reality |
|---|
| "I can just use ctx7 search" | The command is ctx7 skills search. The skills subcommand is required. |
| "This is about docs, so use MCP tools" | This skill is only for CLI skill management. Stick to ctx7 skills. |
| "Client flags are optional, I can skip them" | Use --cursor, --claude, or --global when the user specifies a target client. |
Red Flags - STOP and Correct
- Using
ctx7 search or ctx7 install without the skills subcommand
- Answering with MCP docs or API tools instead of CLI commands
- Ignoring a requested client target (Cursor/Claude/global)
Common Mistakes
- Confusing
ctx7 with npx ctx7 when the CLI is not installed.
- Omitting the repository path for install (e.g.,
/anthropics/skills).
- Assuming
list filters by name; it only lists, so scan the output.
