context7 is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from julianobarbosa/claude-code-skills. It costs 134 tokens per session (2,883 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A lookup tool for current, version-specific programming-library documentation and code examples from real source projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check API signatures, framework documentation, and working examples for libraries such as React, Python, Go, Kubernetes, or Prisma.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of using outdated API details or examples that do not match the library version in your project.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

context7 scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 11 executable files (Tools/src/cli/lookup.ts, Tools/src/cli/query.ts, Tools/src/cli/resolve.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Context7

Query up-to-date, version-specific documentation and code examples directly from source libraries via Context7's documentation aggregation platform.

Why Context7

Benefit Description
Current APIs No hallucinated or outdated patterns - documentation comes from actual sources
Version-Specific Gets docs for exact library versions you're using
Code Examples Real, working code extracted from actual documentation
Broad Coverage 1000+ libraries including React, Next.js, Vue, Go, Python, Kubernetes, etc.

Setup

# Install dependencies
cd ~/.claude/skills/context7/Tools
bun install

# Optional: link binaries globally so c7-lookup / c7-resolve / c7-query are on PATH
bun link

# Optional: API key for higher rate limits
export CONTEXT7_API_KEY="ctx7sk_your_key_here"   # context7.com/dashboard

Available CLI Tools

Tool Purpose Short form (after bun link) Long form
lookup Resolve + query in one shot c7-lookup <library> <query> bun src/cli/lookup.ts <library> <query>
resolve Find Context7 library ID c7-resolve <library> [query] bun src/cli/resolve.ts <library> [query]
query Query docs by known ID c7-query <library_id> <query> bun src/cli/query.ts <library_id> <query>

CLI Flags

All three CLIs accept the same flag set.

Flag Effect
--json Emit JSON on stdout; suppress decorative output. Pipe to jq.
--quiet, -q Suppress info/success logs (warn/error still print to stderr).
--no-cache Skip the 24h disk cache (~/.cache/context7/resolved.json) for this call.
--clear-cache Wipe the disk cache and exit.
--timeout <ms> HTTP timeout in milliseconds. Default 30000.
--max-retries <n> Retry budget for 429 Rate Limit responses (with Retry-After). Default 1.
--api-key <key> Override CONTEXT7_API_KEY env var.
--version, -V Print version and exit.
--help, -h Print usage and exit.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
