✓Verified·Scanned 2/17/2026
Fetch up-to-date library documentation via Context7 API. Use PROACTIVELY when: (1) Working with ANY external library (React, Next.js, Supabase, etc.) (2) User asks about library APIs, patterns, or best practices (3) Implementing features that rely on third-party packages (4) Debugging library-specific issues (5) Need current documentation beyond training data cutoff Always prefer this over guessing library APIs or using outdated knowledge.

Example:
python3 ~/.claude/skills/context7/scripts/context7.py search "next.js"
Returns library metadata including the id field needed for step 2.
2. Fetch documentation context
python3 ~/.claude/skills/context7/scripts/context7.py context "<library-id>" "<query>"
Example:
python3 ~/.claude/skills/context7/scripts/context7.py context "/vercel/next.js" "app router middleware"
Options:
--type txt|md- Output format (default: txt)--tokens N- Limit response tokens
Quick Reference
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| Find React docs | search "react" |
| Get React hooks info | context "/facebook/react" "useEffect cleanup" |
| Find Supabase | search "supabase" |
| Get Supabase auth | context "/supabase/supabase" "authentication row level security" |
When to Use
- Before implementing any library-dependent feature
- When unsure about current API signatures
- For library version-specific behavior
- To verify best practices and patterns
