FAQPage Schema
How do I search for accurate API documentation and code examples for a specific library?

To search API documentation, query Context7 for official references and Ref MCP for community sources, synthesizing accurate code examples and usage patterns. It uses deterministic tool resolution to select the best source for your library.

What's the best way to find niche library documentation and community tutorials?

Finding niche library documentation uses Ref MCP to retrieve broader community tutorials and solutions. A deterministic decision flow synthesizes actionable guidance, combining Ref MCP results with official API references from Context7.

Does this documentation search approach work for debugging with official API syntax lookups?

Yes, documentation search supports debugging and API syntax lookups by retrieving accurate code examples via Context7. It applies deterministic fallback behavior to ensure relevant usage patterns are found when exploring libraries.

Do I need Context7 and Ref MCP to look up library usage patterns?

Yes, looking up library usage patterns requires Context7 for official API documentation and Ref MCP for broader sources. The Skill uses deterministic tool resolution and fallback behavior to ensure accurate code examples and syntax retrieval.

When should I expect fallback behavior during API documentation retrieval?

Fallback behavior occurs when primary sources lack required syntax or code examples. The deterministic decision flow switches between Context7 and Ref MCP to retrieve accurate usage patterns and actionable guidance for your library exploration.
