# context7-docs — context7-docs pulls up-to-date documentation and working code examples for any library, framework, SDK, CLI tool, or cloud service directly into your workflow. Use it whenever you need API syntax, configuration details, version migration help, or setup instructions—especially for rapidly evolving tools where training data lags behind. The skill includes tools to resolve library identifiers and query documentation by concept, keeping you current without relying on potentially stale training data.

# Context7 Documentation Lookup

Retrieve current documentation and code examples from [Context7](https://context7.com) using the `resolve-library-id` and `query-docs` tools that ship with this extension.

## When to use

Reach for these tools whenever a question involves a specific library, framework, SDK, CLI tool, or cloud service. Examples:

- "How do I configure caching in Next.js 16?"
- "What's the syntax for Prisma's `findMany` with relations?"
- "Show me a working Tailwind v4 install for a Vite app."
- "How do I rate-limit with `@upstash/ratelimit`?"

## Workflow

1. **Resolve the library ID.** Call `resolve-library-id` with the library name and what to look up in the library's documentation. The tool returns matching libraries with their Context7 IDs (`/org/project` format), descriptions, snippet counts, and quality scores. Pick the best match — prioritize official sources, name match, and high benchmark scores.
2. **Query the docs.** Call `query-docs` with the chosen library ID and what to look up in the library's documentation, scoped to a single concept — if the question spans multiple distinct concepts, make a separate call per concept with the same library ID, unless the question is about how the concepts interact. The tool returns documentation snippets and code examples.
3. **Answer.** Cite the library ID you used and quote code examples verbatim when relevant.

If the user supplies a library ID in `/org/project` or `/org/project/version` format directly, skip step 1 and call `query-docs` immediately.

## Constraints

- Do not call either tool more than 3 times per question.
- Do not pass API keys, passwords, credentials, personal data, or proprietary code as the `query` argument — it is sent to the Context7 API.
- Authentication uses the `CONTEXT7_API_KEY` environment variable. Get a key at https://context7.com/dashboard if requests fail with an auth error.
