At a glance

Token-efficient library API documentation fetcher using Context7 MCP with 77% token savings.

  • Works in 3 steps: Identify Library and Topic → Fetch with Shell Pipeline → Use Filtered Output
  • Users ask how do I use X library
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Start, Standard Workflow, Parameters and Common Library IDs, plus 8 more sections
  • Runs Shell and Python scripts from its folder; calls bash and python3

What it does

Fetching Library Docs is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Token-efficient library API documentation fetcher using Context7 MCP with 77% token savings. Fetches code examples, API references, and usage patterns for published libraries (React, Next.js, Prisma, etc). Use when users ask "how do I use X library", need code examples, want API syntax, or are learning a framework's official API. Triggers: "Show me React hooks", "Prisma query syntax", "Next.js routing API". NOT for exploring repo internals/source code (use researching-with-deepwiki) or local files.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/context7-tools.md`, `scripts/extract-code-blocks.sh` and `scripts/extract-notes.sh`).

It sits in Databases, covering ORMs and data access, Technical documentation and React components. It works with React, Next.js, Prisma and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Users ask how do I use X library
  • Need code examples
  • Want API syntax
  • Are learning a frameworks official API

Example prompts

  • “how do I use X library”
  • “s official API. Triggers:”
  • “Prisma query syntax”
  • “/fetching-library-docs”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify Library and Topic
  2. Fetch with Shell Pipeline
  3. Use Filtered Output

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ac52da. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 9 files in scripts/ (Shell and Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash
    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • anthropic.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Fetching Library Docs loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 131 tokens; SKILL.md has 495 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~131
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 495 words (~1,568 tokens).

“Fetch library documentation with automatic 77% token reduction via shell pipeline.”
