At a glance

Retrieve library documentation with Context7 when the current task needs version-specific API guidance or a concrete documentation lookup.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Context7 is an agent skill from bitsocialnet/5chan. Retrieve library documentation with Context7 when the current task needs version-specific API guidance or a concrete documentation lookup.

Its SKILL.md is about 240 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/http-lookup.md`).

The repository describes itself as: A peer-to-peer 4chan alternative. The licence is GPL-3.0.

Example prompts

  • “/context7”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a31f565. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Context7 loads about 240 tokens when it runs, and up to ~482 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 116 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~240
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~482

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Retrieve library documentation with Context7 when the current task needs version-specific API guidance or a concrete documentation lookup.

Context7

Use the installed dependency version and the API question to scope the lookup. Existing source and tests may already answer it; a normal coding task does not require a Context7 search merely because it uses a library.

Use an available Context7 tool, or read HTTP lookup when calling the API directly. Select the matching library and version from the results; do not assume the first result or latest release matches this repository.

Fetch only documentation relevant to the decision. Check returned examples against the installed API and link the underlying official documentation when reporting a claim. If Context7 is unavailable, use official docs or installed source instead of installing another integration or blocking unrelated work.

How many tokens does Context7 use?

About 240 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 960 characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 242 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
