Context7 Docs Skill — Live Documentation Lookup

This skill integrates Context7 MCP tools into the orchestrator workflow, providing real-time access to official documentation for any library or framework.

When to Use

Use this skill when ANY of these situations arise:

• An agent needs to verify an API signature
• A Developer needs to use a library they're not 100% sure about
• A Planner needs to check if a feature exists in a specific version
• A Reviewer needs to validate that code follows current best practices
• Any agent encounters "I'm not sure about this..."

Workflow

1. Resolve Library ID

Tool: context7_resolve-library-id
Input:
  libraryName: "React"  (use official name)
  query: "How to use useEffect cleanup function"
Output:
  libraryId: "/facebook/react"

2. Query Documentation

Tool: context7_query-docs
Input:
  libraryId: "/facebook/react"
  query: "useEffect cleanup function examples"
Output:
  [Relevant documentation snippets with code examples]

3. Cache Results

Save to $SESSION_DIR/docs/ for future sessions:

# [Library] — [Topic]

- Retrieved: [date]
- Library ID: [Context7 ID]
- Version: [if available]
- Key findings: [summary]
- Code examples: [snippets]

Integration Points

For Developer Agents

Before implementing with an unfamiliar library:

1. Resolve library ID via Context7
2. Query for specific API/feature
3. Read the code examples
4. Implement following official patterns
5. Cache for future reference

For Reviewer Agent

When reviewing code that uses a specific library:

1. Resolve library ID via Context7
2. Query for the specific API being used
3. Compare implementation against official patterns
4. Flag deviations from recommended usage

For Planner Agent

When planning features that depend on libraries:

1. Resolve library IDs for all dependencies
2. Query for feature availability in target version
3. Check for breaking changes between versions
4. Document version requirements in plan
