Frequently asked questions
AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
What's the latest syntax for this framework using find-docs?
find-docs fetches live documentation and API references for developer libraries and frameworks via the Context7 CLI, ensuring you always get current syntax rather than relying on potentially outdated training data. Resolve your library name to its ID, then query docs with specific questions about APIs, configuration, or usage patterns to verify the latest framework syntax.
How do I find documentation for my library with find-docs?
find-docs resolves a library name to its ID through the Context7 CLI, then queries live documentation, API references, and code examples for that library. Simply provide your library or framework name and ask specific questions about setup, configuration, APIs, or usage—find-docs retrieves authoritative, current documentation without requiring authentication.
Can find-docs provide code examples for SDK setup instructions?
Yes, find-docs retrieves code examples and setup instructions for CLI tools and SDKs. After resolving your library ID, you can ask for usage examples, configuration guidance, or step-by-step setup instructions—find-docs fetches live documentation to give you accurate, current examples for your specific SDK or tool.
Does find-docs help debug library-specific behavior?
find-docs supports debugging by consulting authoritative, live documentation for library-specific behavior. Query find-docs with questions about how your library handles particular scenarios, and it retrieves current API references and documentation to help you understand expected behavior and resolve issues without relying on potentially outdated information.
What authentication is required to use find-docs?
find-docs works without authentication—you can start querying library documentation immediately via the Context7 CLI. Higher rate limits are available if you log in, but basic access to live documentation, API references, and code examples requires no account setup.
How does find-docs handle library version migration?
find-docs retrieves current API documentation and resolves version-specific API changes by fetching live references for your library. When you query find-docs about a specific library version or ask about migration guidance, it accesses authoritative documentation to help you understand breaking changes and update your code correctly.
