Context7 Code Review Skill

This skill integrates Context7's code-aware search to provide accurate documentation during code reviews and programming tasks.

Overview

Context7 (context7.com) provides fresh, code-grounded documentation for libraries and frameworks. Use this skill to fetch accurate API references during code reviews.

Core Integration

When to Use

• Reviewing code that uses unfamiliar libraries
• Answering questions about library APIs
• Verifying correct usage of frameworks
• Checking updated documentation for breaking changes

How It Works

Step 1: Resolve Library ID Before querying docs, resolve the library name to a Context7-compatible ID:

Context7 library: /mongodb/docs
Context7 library: /vercel/next.js/v14.3.0-canary.87

Step 2: Query Documentation Ask specific questions about the library:

// Good question
"How to set up authentication with JWT in Express.js"

// Bad question (too vague)
"auth"

Available Libraries

Context7 covers major libraries including:

• React, Next.js, Vue, Angular
• Node.js, Express, NestJS
• Python: Django, Flask, FastAPI
• Go: Standard library, Gin, Echo
• Rust: Actix, Tokio
• And many more...

Code Review Flow

1. Identify unfamiliar libraries in code
2. Use context7_resolve-library-id to find the library
3. Use context7_query-docs to get specific answers
4. Apply findings to code review

Best Practices

• Be specific in queries - ask "how to" questions
• Include version if known for exact docs
• Use library ID format: /org/project or /org/project/version
• Check for breaking changes in major version upgrades
