How does the documentation retrieval process work?

The skill performs a two-step process: it first searches for the library to obtain a unique ID, and then uses that ID to fetch documentation snippets that match your specific query.

Can this skill help with troubleshooting specific errors?

Yes, by inputting specific error messages or implementation questions, the skill fetches relevant official documentation to help diagnose and resolve technical issues.

Do I need an API key to use this skill?

No, the Context7 skill works without a mandatory API key, though it is subject to the standard rate limits defined by the Context7 API.

Is the documentation fetched by Context7 always up-to-date?

Context7 focuses on providing the most current documentation available, helping to prevent AI hallucinations caused by outdated training data or deprecated APIs.

What libraries are supported by the Context7 skill?

Context7 supports a wide range of popular modern frameworks and libraries, including React, Next.js, FastAPI, and many others commonly found on NPM and PyPI.
