SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI training data becomes outdated, so answers about libraries and frameworks often reference deprecated APIs or old versions. This Skill retrieves up-to-date documentation from Context7 so answers about React, Next.js, Prisma, Supabase, and other frameworks reflect current releases. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Library Resolution: Maps a library name from the user's question to the correct Context7 library ID using the resolve-library-id call. - Targeted Documentation Queries: Fetches relevant documentation sections with query-docs based on the user's specific question. - Version Awareness: Prefers version-specific library IDs when users mention versions like React 19 or Next.js 15. - Use Case: A developer asks how to configure Next.js middleware. The Skill resolves the Next.js library ID, fetches current middleware documentation, and produces an answer with accurate code examples. ## Quick Start Ask how to configure authentication with Supabase and request current documentation for the answer.

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

Resolve the library name with the resolve-library-id call, then pass the selected library ID and your question to query-docs. Context7 returns current documentation sections that can be used directly in the answer.

What is Context7 used for in AI coding assistants?

Context7 supplies current library documentation to AI assistants so answers are not limited by training data cutoffs. It supports setup questions, API references, and code generation for frameworks like React, Vue, Prisma, and Supabase.

Does Context7 support version-specific documentation like React 19?

Yes. When the user mentions a version, the resolution step can return version-specific library IDs. Selecting those IDs ensures the fetched documentation matches the requested release.

How do I choose the right library when multiple matches exist?

Prefer exact or closest name matches to the user's request, and favor official or primary packages over community forks. Higher benchmark scores in the resolution results indicate better documentation quality.

When should I not rely on Context7 documentation lookup?

It is unnecessary for general programming concepts or language fundamentals that do not change between releases. It adds the most value when questions involve specific library APIs, configuration, or recently released framework versions.
