context7listed

Fetch up-to-date, version-specific library documentation from Context7 for accurate API references, code examples, and usage patterns. Use when working with any library or framework and you need current documentation instead of relying on training data. Trigger when the user says "context7", "/context7", "look up docs for [library]", "get documentation for [library]", or when you need to validate code against current library APIs. Also use proactively when writing code that depends on external libraries to ensure correctness.

# Context7 - Library Documentation Fetch live, version-specific documentation for any library or framework via the Context7 REST API. Returns authoritative docs formatted for LLM consumption. > **Naming note.** A user-level Claude Code plugin also exposes a skill called `context7:context7` (namespaced form). When the user types `/context7` without the namespace, the local skill in this file wins per Claude Code's bare-name lookup precedence (local > plugin). To force the plugin variant, type the namespaced form explicitly. Both skills do similar things; the local one uses the workspace's own CONTEXT7_API_KEY and `scripts/context7.py`, the plugin uses its own MCP-style backend. ## Prerequisites `CONTEXT7_API_KEY` should be set in the workspace `.env` file. The script auto-loads it via `python-dotenv`. ``` # In the workspace root .env file: CONTEXT7_API_KEY=ctx7sk-your-key-here ``` Get a free key at: https://context7.com/dashboard The API works without a key but with lower rate limits. ## Workflow 1. Parse the user input: first word is the library name, remainder is the query. If only a library name is given, use "documentation" as the default query. 2. Run the script: ```bash python scripts/context7.py "<library_name>" "<query>" ``` Examples: - `/context7 react hooks` -> `python scripts/context7.py "react" "hooks"` - `/context7 nextjs app router middleware` -> `python scripts/context7.py "nextjs" "app router middleware"` - `/context7 python-pptx` -> `python scripts
