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
