To fetch up-to-date library documentation using a REST API, run the context7.sh search command with the library name to locate its ID, then execute the docs command with the resulting vendor path to retrieve current API references and code examples.

Yes, you can find version-specific code examples and API patterns by applying the tool to library import statements and version-specific questions. It fetches current documentation via the Context7 REST API to provide accurate usage patterns.

Yes, you need curl and jq installed as dependencies to look up library docs. The Skill relies on the context7.sh wrapper script which uses these tools to execute REST API requests and parse the returned library documentation data.

The best way to switch between conceptual guides and code-oriented references is by using the optional mode parameter in the context7.sh docs command. This allows you to tailor the fetched library documentation to either conceptual explanations or code examples.

Using a REST-backed documentation lookup reduces the time spent searching through official docs and avoids outdated references. It provides on-demand access to current library documentation, ensuring the API patterns and code examples you use are accurate.

To search for a specific topic within library documentation, use the optional topic parameter with the context7.sh docs command. This filters the fetched REST API response to return relevant patterns and examples for your specific query.
