SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? LLM training data becomes outdated, so answers about libraries, frameworks, and APIs are often stale or incorrect. This Skill retrieves up-to-date documentation from Context7 so code examples and setup guidance match the actual current versions of tools like React, Next.js, Prisma, and Supabase. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Library Resolution: Calls resolve-library-id with the library name and the user's question to find the best-matching Context7 library ID. - Documentation Queries: Calls query-docs with the selected library ID and the user's specific question to fetch relevant, current docs. - Version Awareness: Prefers version-specific library IDs when the user mentions versions like "React 19" or "Next.js 15", and favors official packages over community forks. - Use Case: A user asks "How do I configure Next.js middleware?" The Skill resolves the Next.js library ID, queries the docs with that exact question, and answers using current official documentation with accurate code examples. ## Quick Start Ask how to configure authentication with Supabase and have the answer grounded in the latest official documentation fetched through Context7.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get up-to-date documentation for a library like Next.js?

Ask your question mentioning the library, and the Skill calls resolve-library-id to find the matching Context7 library ID, then query-docs with your specific question. The answer is built from current official documentation rather than training data.

What is Context7 used for in AI coding assistants?

Context7 provides current library documentation to AI assistants through MCP tools. It resolves library names to IDs and returns relevant doc sections, so generated code and configuration advice reflect the latest APIs instead of outdated training knowledge.

Does Context7 support specific framework versions like React 19?

Yes. When a user mentions a version such as React 19 or Next.js 15, the resolution step prefers version-specific library IDs if available. This ensures the fetched documentation matches the requested version.

Which libraries and frameworks can Context7 look up?

It covers popular libraries and frameworks including React, Vue, Svelte, Next.js, Express, Tailwind, Prisma, and Supabase. The resolve-library-id step ranks matches by name similarity and documentation quality scores.

What happens when multiple libraries match my query?

The Skill selects the best match based on exact or closest name match, higher benchmark scores indicating documentation quality, and a preference for official packages over community forks. Version mentions further narrow the selection.
