SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Retrieves up-to-date documentation, API references, and code examples for developer technologies. Use this skill whenever the user asks about a specific library, framework, SDK, CLI tool, or cloud service -- even for well-known ones like React, Next.js, Prisma, Express, Tailwind, Django, or Spring Boot. Your training data may not reflect recent API changes or version updates.

Always use for: API syntax questions, configuration options, version migration issues, "how do I" questions mentioning a library name, debugging that involves library-specific behavior, setup instructions, and CLI tool usage.

Use even when you think you know the answer -- do not rely on training data for API details, signatures, or configuration options as they are frequently outdated. Always verify against current docs. Prefer this over web search for library documentation and API details.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Documentation Lookup: Retrieve current documentation and code examples for any library using the Context7 CLI.
  • Workflow: Resolve library name to an ID, then query docs with that ID.
  • Usage Guarantee: You MUST call ctx7 library first to obtain a valid library ID UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format /org/project or /org/project/version.
  • Practical Guidance: Provide commands and results in a way that helps the user quickly access accurate docs.

Quick Start

Ask Context7 to look up documentation by library name and fetch the most relevant docs using ctx7 library and ctx7 docs.

Frequently Asked Questions about find-docs

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I fetch up-to-date API documentation for a specific library?▼

To fetch up-to-date API documentation, the skill resolves the library name to a valid ID and then queries the latest docs, ensuring you get current API syntax and configuration options rather than relying on potentially outdated training data.

Why should I look up library reference docs instead of using cached training data?▼

You should look up library reference docs because training data frequently lacks recent API changes, version updates, and migration steps. Fetching live documentation validates current syntax and configuration options against authoritative sources.

What's the best way to find current setup instructions and CLI usage for a framework?▼

The best way to find current setup instructions and CLI usage is to query the tool by name, which triggers a two-step workflow to resolve the framework ID and retrieve authoritative, up-to-date code examples and configuration details.

Can I retrieve documentation for cloud services and SDKs directly by their project ID?▼

Yes, you can retrieve documentation for cloud services and SDKs directly if you provide an explicit library ID in the format /org/project or /org/project/version, which skips the resolution step and queries the docs immediately.

Does this documentation lookup approach work for debugging library-specific behavior and migrations?▼

Yes, this documentation lookup approach works for debugging library-specific behavior and migrations by fetching current references and validating API signatures, ensuring your troubleshooting relies on the most recent authoritative documentation.
