At a glance

Look up current documentation and code examples for a library, framework, SDK, CLI tool, or cloud service with the Context7 CLI.

  • Works in 2 steps: resolve the ID → query the docs
  • A question names a specific technology — API syntax
  • SKILL.md covers Step 1: resolve the ID, Step 2: query the docs and When it fails
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Find Docs is an agent skill from ryan4yin/nix-config. Look up current documentation and code examples for a library, framework, SDK, CLI tool, or cloud service with the Context7 CLI. Use whenever a question names a specific technology — API syntax, configuration options, version migrations, library-specific debugging, setup, CLI usage — including well-known ones: training data goes stale on these details.

Its SKILL.md is about 650 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: ❄️ My nix config for both desktops(NixOS+macOS) and homelab servers(NixOS). The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A question names a specific technology — API syntax
  • Configuration options
  • Version migrations
  • Library-specific debugging

Example prompts

  • “/find-docs”

Workflow steps

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

  1. resolve the ID
  2. query the docs

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 497fabb. 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 (its code samples are bash).

    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

Find Docs loads about 650 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 321 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~650

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.

Look up current documentation and code examples for a library, framework, SDK, CLI tool, or cloud service with the Context7 CLI. Use whenever a question names a specific technology — API syntax, configuration options, version migrations, library-specific debugging, setup, CLI usage — including well-known ones: training data goes stale on these details.

Documentation lookup

ctx7 is on PATH (Home Manager, from nixpkgs). Run it as it is; the package is Nix-managed, so skip the setup and upgrade commands its --help advertises.

Two steps: resolve the library ID, then query with it.

bash
ctx7 library <name> "<query>"
ctx7 docs <libraryId> "<query>"

Skip step 1 only when the user supplies an ID as /org/project or /org/project/version. Add --json to either step when you will parse the output rather than read it.

A query leaves the machine: keep internal identifiers, private-repository paths, and credentials out of it.

Step 1: resolve the ID

Pass a query every time — it ranks the matches, so it also separates libraries that share a name. Use the official spelling ("Next.js", not "nextjs"); when results look wrong, retry the name before rewriting the query.

bash
ctx7 library "Next.js" "how to set up app router middleware"

Each match carries id, title, description, totalSnippets, trustScore, benchmarkScore, and versions. Prefer an exact name match with a high trustScore and more totalSnippets. When the user names a version, take the closest entry in versions and use /org/project/version as the ID.

Stop after three attempts and use the best match you have. When none is usable, say so and suggest a sharper name instead of guessing.

Step 2: query the docs

One topic per docs call: split unrelated concepts into separate calls, unless the question is about how they interact. Describe what to look up in the documentation rather than the task to complete — "React useEffect cleanup function with async operations" ranks, "hooks" returns generic results.

bash
ctx7 docs /vercel/next.js "how to add middleware"

The output is markdown: titled code snippets and prose snippets, each with the source URL it came from. Cite that URL when the answer rests on it.

When it fails

Lookups work without a login, at a lower rate limit. On a quota error, tell the user to run ctx7 login themselves; never ask them to paste a token into chat. If they do not authenticate, answer from training knowledge and say it may be outdated — do not fall back silently.
