Context7

Use when looking up library documentation, API references, framework patterns, or code examples for ANY library (React, Next.js, Vue, Django, Laravel, etc.) and the Context7 MCP server is unavailable or not configured. Fetches the same current docs directly via the Context7 REST API as a fallback. Triggers on: how to use library, API docs, framework pattern, import usage, library example.

What this skill tells the agent

Context7 Documentation Lookup Skill

Fetch current library documentation, API references, and code examples via the Context7 REST API.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks about library APIs, framework patterns, or version-specific behavior. Trigger on:

  • Library questions: "How do I use [library]?", "[library] API docs", "[library] patterns"
  • Import statements: import, require, from followed by a library name
  • Framework-specific topics: hooks, routing, middleware, ORM queries, schema definitions

When NOT to Use

Do NOT use this skill for:

  • General programming concepts (closures, recursion, design patterns)
  • Code review or refactoring tasks
  • Debugging business logic
  • Writing scripts from scratch without library-specific questions

Core Workflow

  1. Search for the library ID: ``bash scripts/context7.sh search "library-name" ``
  1. Pick the best result: Choose the ID with the highest score and most relevant description. Prefer official sources (e.g., /vercel/next.js over community forks).
  1. Fetch documentation with a focused topic: ``bash scripts/context7.sh docs "<library-id>" "<topic>" "<mode>" ``

Always extract a specific topic from the user's question. For "How does React Suspense work with server components?", use topic suspense server components.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
library-idYesFrom search results, format /vendor/library
topicNoFocus area extracted from user query (e.g., hooks, routing, validation)
modeNocode (default) for API references; info for conceptual guides

Examples

# React hooks API
scripts/context7.sh search "react"
scripts/context7.sh docs "/facebook/react" "hooks" "code"

# Next.js App Router conceptual guide
scripts/context7.sh search "nextjs"
scripts/context7.sh docs "/vercel/next.js" "app router" "info"

# Django ORM queries
scripts/context7.sh search "django"
scripts/context7.sh docs "/django/django" "queryset filter" "code"

# Laravel Eloquent relationships
scripts/context7.sh search "laravel"
scripts/context7.sh docs "/laravel/framework" "eloquent relationships" "code"

Environment Configuration

Set CONTEXT7_API_KEY for higher rate limits (optional):

netresearch/agent-rules-skill

Agent Rules

Use when creating or updating AGENTS.md files, .github/copilot-instructions.md, or other AI agent rule files, onboarding AI agents to a project, standardizing agent documentation, or when anyone mentions AGENTS.md, agent rules, project onboarding, or codebase documentation for AI agents.

netresearch/file-search-skill

File Search

Use when searching codebases (text, structural/AST, files by name, PDFs/archives, code stats) or building context before a task.

netresearch/git-workflow-skill

Git Workflow

Use when establishing branching strategies, implementing Conventional Commits, creating or reviewing PRs, resolving PR review comments, merging PRs (including CI verification, auto-merge queues, and post-merge cleanup), managing PR review threads, merging PRs with signed commits, handling merge conflicts, verifying a merge didn't silently drop changes, syncing a long-diverged branch (e.g. master into integration), rebasing a long-lived branch onto a moved base or splitting one into several PRs, integrating Git with CI/CD, setting up git hooks (lefthook, captainhook, husky, pre-commit), debugging hook-install failures in git worktrees, or working in a bare-repo plus per-branch-worktree layout, including consolidating a directory that holds both a plain clone and a .bare. The pull-request tooling is GitHub-only; references/pull-request-workflow.md carries the GitLab equivalents. Not for creating releases (use github-release) or diagnosing BLOCKED/won't-merge PRs (use github-project).
