# Context7

## Overview

This skill enables retrieval of current documentation for software libraries and components by querying the Context7 API via curl. Use it instead of relying on potentially outdated training data.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Search for the Library

To find the Context7 library ID, query the search endpoint:

```bash
curl -s "https://context7.com/api/v2/libs/search?libraryName=LIBRARY_NAME&query=TOPIC" | jq '.results[0]'
```

**Parameters:**
- `libraryName` (required): The library name to search for (e.g., "react", "nextjs", "fastapi", "axios")
- `query` (required): A desc...

Frequently asked questions

Does the skill require an API key?

No, the Context7 API does not require an API key for basic usage, though it is rate-limited.

How do I get more readable output?

Set the type parameter to txt in the context API request.

What should I do if the first search result is incorrect?

Check additional results in the returned array from the search endpoint.
