context7-docs-lookup

When to Use This Skill

• Asks setup or configuration questions ("How do I configure Next.js middleware?")
• Requests code involving libraries ("Write a Prisma query for...")
• Needs API references ("What are the Supabase auth methods?")
• Mentions specific frameworks (React, Vue, Svelte, Express, Tailwind, etc.)

How to Fetch Documentation

Step 1: Resolve the Library ID

resolve-library-id

• libraryName

  : The library name extracted from the user's question

• query

  : The user's full question (improves relevance ranking)

Step 2: Select the Best Match

• Exact or closest name match to what the user asked for
• Higher benchmark scores indicate better documentation quality
• If the user mentioned a version (e.g., "React 19"), prefer version-specific IDs

Step 3: Fetch the Documentation

query-docs

• libraryId

  : The selected Context7 library ID (e.g.,

  /vercel/next.js

  )

• query

  : The user's specific question

Step 4: Use the Documentation

• Answer the user's question using current, accurate information
• Include relevant code examples from the docs
• Cite the library version when relevant

Guidelines

• Be specific: Pass the user's full question as the query for better results
• Version awareness: When users mention versions ("Next.js 15", "React 19"), use version-specific library IDs if available from the resolution step
• Prefer official sources: When multiple matches exist, prefer official/primary packages over community forks
