Skill: Context7 Documentation Expert

This skill gives you access to the Context7 API to fetch up-to-date documentation, API references, and code examples. Use this to avoid hallucinations about library versions or API signatures.

When to Use

1. •Unknown Libraries: When you need to use a library you are not familiar with.
2. •Version Verification: To check if a specific API exists in the latest version of a library (e.g., Next.js App Router vs Pages Router).
3. •Debugging: To find official solutions for error messages related to external dependencies.

Workflow (Strict Two-Step Process)

Step 1: Search for Library ID

You MUST search first to resolve the correct libraryId required by the API. Do not guess the ID.

• •

  Command: ./scripts/context7_tool.sh search "<library_name>"

• •

  Action:

  • •Parse the JSON response.
  • •Locate the id field (e.g., /vercel/next.js, /shadcn-ui/ui).
  • •Select the most relevant ID.

Step 2: Retrieve Context

Use the libraryId found in Step 1 to fetch specific documentation.

• •

  Command: ./scripts/context7_tool.sh context "<library_id>" "<specific_technical_question>"

• •

  Example: ./scripts/context7_tool.sh context "/vercel/next.js" "how to use server actions with form validation"

Output Guidelines

1. •Synthesize, Don't Dump: The tool returns raw JSON containing code_snippets and content. Do not output the raw JSON to the user.
2. •Code First: Prioritize extracting and adapting the code snippets to solve the user's problem.
3. •Citation: Explicitly mention that the solution is based on "Context7 documentation".

Troubleshooting & Requirements

• •Dependencies: Requires curl and jq installed on the system.
• •Proxy/SSL: The script is pre-configured to handle local proxy SSL issues (-k --proxy-insecure).
• •Errors:
  • •If the search returns an empty list, ask the user to verify the library name.
  • •If you receive a "validation error", ensure you are using the correct libraryId from Step 1, not just the name.
