documentation-lookup

documentation-lookup is a skill for Claude Code, Cursor from loulanyue/awesome-claude-notes. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,146 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of documentation-lookup, MIT.

A method for retrieving current documentation for libraries, frameworks, and programming interfaces through Context7 instead of relying on remembered information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when configuring a library or framework, answering API questions, or writing code that depends on current documentation.
Why use it?
It reduces errors caused by outdated setup instructions, changed APIs, or incorrect code examples.

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

documentation-lookup 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 11d ago.

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.

Documentation Lookup (Context7)

When the user asks about libraries, frameworks, or APIs, fetch current documentation via the Context7 MCP (tools resolve-library-id and query-docs) instead of relying on training data.

Core Concepts

  • Context7: MCP server that exposes live documentation; use it instead of training data for libraries and APIs.
  • resolve-library-id: Returns Context7-compatible library IDs (e.g. /vercel/next.js) from a library name and query.
  • query-docs: Fetches documentation and code snippets for a given library ID and question. Always call resolve-library-id first to get a valid library ID.

When to use

Activate when the user:

  • Asks setup or configuration questions (e.g. "How do I configure Next.js middleware?")
  • Requests code that depends on a library ("Write a Prisma query for...")
  • Needs API or reference information ("What are the Supabase auth methods?")
  • Mentions specific frameworks or libraries (React, Vue, Svelte, Express, Tailwind, Prisma, Supabase, etc.)

Use this skill whenever the request depends on accurate, up-to-date behavior of a library, framework, or API. Applies across harnesses that have the Context7 MCP configured (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex).

How it works

Step 1: Resolve the Library ID

Call the resolve-library-id MCP tool with:

  • libraryName: The library or product name taken from the user's question (e.g. Next.js, Prisma, Supabase).
  • query: The user's full question. This improves relevance ranking of results.

You must obtain a Context7-compatible library ID (format /org/project or /org/project/version) before querying docs. Do not call query-docs without a valid library ID from this step.

Step 2: Select the Best Match

From the resolution results, choose one result using:

  • Name match: Prefer exact or closest match to what the user asked for.
  • Benchmark score: Higher scores indicate better documentation quality (100 is highest).
  • Source reputation: Prefer High or Medium reputation when available.
  • Version: If the user specified a version (e.g. "React 19", "Next.js 15"), prefer a version-specific library ID if listed (e.g. /org/project/v1.2.0).
