Find Docs

This pulls current documentation and API references for any library or framework using the Context7 CLI. It's meant to replace guessing from training data when you need actual current syntax, config options, or migration steps. The workflow is straightforward: resolve a library name to an ID, then query the docs with your specific question. Works for React, Next.js, Prisma, Django, whatever. The skill guide emphasizes writing specific queries instead of one-word searches and warns you to run the library lookup first before querying docs. Useful when you're debugging version-specific behavior or need to verify that an API hasn't changed since training cutoff.

Documentation Lookup

Retrieve current documentation and code examples for any library using the Context7 CLI.

Run commands with npx ctx7@latest so setup always uses the latest CLI without a global install:

npx ctx7@latest library <name> "<query>"
npx ctx7@latest docs <libraryId> "<query>"

Optionally install globally if you prefer a bare ctx7 command:

npm install -g ctx7@latest

Workflow

Two-step process: resolve the library name to an ID, then query docs with that ID.

# Step 1: Resolve library ID
npx ctx7@latest library <name> "<query>"

# Step 2: Query documentation
npx ctx7@latest docs <libraryId> "<query>"

You MUST call 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.

IMPORTANT: Do not run these commands more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 attempts, use the best result you have.
