documentation-lookup

documentation-lookup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from saski/arnesto. It costs 50 tokens per session (549 once invoked), scanned A, original, Unlicense.

A documentation lookup guide that retrieves current information about libraries, frameworks, software development kits, application programming interfaces, command-line tools, and cloud services through Context7.

In plain words
What is it for?
Answering setup questions, checking API references, and producing code examples for named tools such as React, Next.js, or Prisma.
Why use it?
It helps avoid relying on outdated information when software tools or their interfaces change.

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 5d 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 a request depends on current library, framework, SDK, API, CLI, or cloud-service behavior, fetch current documentation through Context7 instead of relying on training data.

When to Use

Activate when the user:

  • Asks setup or configuration questions.
  • Requests code that depends on a library.
  • Needs API or reference information.
  • Names a framework, SDK, CLI, or cloud service whose behavior may have changed.

Do not use Context7 for refactoring, business-logic debugging, code review, scripts written from scratch, or general programming concepts that do not depend on current external documentation.

Workflow

Step 1: Choose the Transport

Prefer the Context7 MCP tools when they are available. Use the CLI only when the current harness does not expose the MCP tools.

Use no more than three Context7 resolution or documentation calls per question, regardless of transport.

Step 2: Resolve the Library ID

If the user did not provide a valid /org/project or /org/project/version ID:

  • MCP: Call resolve-library-id with the official library name and the user's full question.
  • CLI fallback: Run npx ctx7@latest library <name> "<user's question>".

Do not send API keys, passwords, credentials, or other secrets in the query.

Step 3: Select the Best Match

Choose one result using:

  • Exact or closest official name match.
  • Description relevance to the user's question.
  • High or Medium source reputation when available.
  • Higher benchmark score and useful snippet coverage.
  • A version-specific ID when the user specified a version.

Step 4: Fetch the Documentation

  • MCP: Call query-docs with the selected library ID and the user's specific question.
  • CLI fallback: Run npx ctx7@latest docs <libraryId> "<user's question>".

If a CLI request fails with a quota error, tell the user and suggest npx ctx7@latest login or CONTEXT7_API_KEY. If the answer remains unclear after the call limit, state the uncertainty instead of guessing.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
