Works with
Search for libraries by name, then retrieve documentation context using the library ID and a specific query
Supports two output formats (txt and markdown) with configurable token limits for response size
Use proactively when working with external libraries, installing dependencies, debugging library-specific issues, or verifying APIs beyond your training data cutoff

Retrieve current library documentation via Context7 API.
IMPORTANT: CONTEXT7_API_KEY IS STORED IN THE .env FILE IN THE SKILL FOLDER THAT THE CONTEXT7 SKILL IS INSTALLED IN. SEARCH FOR IT THERE. .env FILES ARE HIDDEN FILES.
Example: ~/.agents/skills/context7/.env ~/.claude/skills/context7/.env
python3 ~/.codex/skills/context7/scripts/context7.py search "<library-name>"
Example:
python3 ~/.codex/skills/context7/scripts/context7.py search "next.js"
Returns library metadata including the id field needed for step 2.
python3 ~/.codex/skills/context7/scripts/context7.py context "<library-id>" "<query>"
Example:
python3 ~/.codex/skills/context7/scripts/context7.py context "/vercel/next.js" "app router middleware"

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versioncontext7Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches context7 from am-will/codex-skills and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate context7. Access via /context7 in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
