SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

A strict protocol for using Context7 tools to fetch accurate, up-to-date documentation without hallucinating library IDs. This Skill enforces a two-step process (resolve-library-id → get-library-docs) to ensure verified canonical IDs are used for all documentation lookups.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two‑Step Handshake: Always resolve the canonical ID before fetching docs.
  • Pagination-Aware: Automatically paginate through results to find complete, relevant information.
  • Mode Selection: Support for code-oriented answers (mode="code") and information-oriented explanations (mode="info").
  • Transparency: Clear reporting of each step (resolution, fetch, and result).
  • Use Case: A developer asks for API references for a library; the agent resolves the canonical ID and retrieves precise docs with code examples.

Quick Start

Resolve the canonical library ID for a library (e.g., "FastAPI"), then fetch documentation with a specific topic and mode. Example: resolve-library-id(libraryName="FastAPI") → get-library-docs(context7CompatibleLibraryID="/tiangolo/fastapi", topic="dependency injection", mode="code", page=1).

Frequently Asked Questions about context7-expert

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fetch exact library documentation without hallucinating the library ID?▼

To fetch exact library documentation, you must resolve the canonical library ID using a two-step handshake before retrieval. This process verifies the exact ID against the library name, preventing hallucinations and ensuring accurate documentation lookups.

How does the two-step handshake for resolving library IDs work?▼

The two-step handshake works by first resolving the library name to a verified canonical ID, then fetching the documentation using that exact ID. This strict sequence guarantees the correct library context is queried before any data is retrieved.

Can I get code examples or conceptual explanations when fetching library docs?▼

Yes, you can fetch library docs using code-mode for how-to questions with code examples, or info-mode for what-is questions with conceptual explanations. This mode selection tailors the retrieved documentation to your specific query type.

What is the best way to handle large library documentation lookups?▼

The best way to handle large library documentation lookups is through pagination-aware fetching. The process automatically paginates through results to find complete, relevant information while reporting progress transparently at each step.

Why does my library documentation lookup return incorrect API references?▼

Your library documentation lookup returns incorrect API references if you skip the canonical ID resolution step. Guessing library IDs leads to hallucinated data; always use the resolve-library-id step to verify the exact identifier before fetching docs.
