What it does

Find Docs is an agent skill from sammcj/agentic-coding. Retrieves up-to-date documentation, API references, and code examples for any developer technology. Use this skill whenever the user asks about, or when you need to lookup documentation or usage reference a specific library, framework, SDK, CLI tool, or cloud service - even if well-known as your training data may be outdated. Prefer this over web search for library documentation and API details.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Web search. The repository describes itself as: Agentic Coding Rules, Templates etc... The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

The user asks about
You need to lookup documentation
Usage reference a specific library
Cloud service - even if well-known as your training data may be outdated

Example prompts

“Use the find-docs skill to retrieve up-to-date documentation, API references, and code examples for any developer technology”
“/find-docs”

Requirements

A credential in CONTEXT7_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

Resolve a Library
Query Documentation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2f25ced. 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- CONTEXT7_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Find Docs loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 611 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.4k

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.

name: find-docs
description: Retrieves up-to-date documentation, API references, and code examples for any developer technology. Use this skill whenever the user asks about, or when you need to lookup documentation or usage reference a specific library, framework, SDK, CLI tool, or cloud service - even if well-known as your training data may be outdated. Prefer this over web search for library documentation and API details.

Documentation Lookup

Retrieve current documentation and code examples for any library using the Context7 CLI.

Run the context7 CLI directly like so:

bash

pnpx ctx7@latest <command>

Workflow

Two-step process: resolve the library name to an ID, then query docs with that ID.

bash

# Step 1: Resolve library ID
ctx7 library <name> <query>

# Step 2: Query documentation
ctx7 docs <libraryId> <query>

You MUST call ctx7 library first to obtain a valid library ID UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format /org/project or /org/project/version.

IMPORTANT: Do not run these commands more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 attempts, use the best result you have.

Step 1: Resolve a Library

Resolves a package/product name to a Context7-compatible library ID and returns matching libraries.

bash

ctx7 library react "How to clean up useEffect with async operations"
ctx7 library nextjs "How to set up app router with middleware"
ctx7 library prisma "How to define one-to-many relations with cascade delete"

Always pass a query argument - it is required and directly affects result ranking. Use the user's intent to form the query, which helps disambiguate when multiple libraries share a similar name. Do not include any sensitive or confidential information such as API keys, passwords, credentials, personal data, or proprietary code in your query.

Result fields

Each result includes:

Library ID - Context7-compatible identifier (format: /org/project)
Name - Library or package name
Description - Short summary
Code Snippets - Number of available code examples
Source Reputation - Authority indicator (High, Medium, Low, or Unknown)
Benchmark Score - Quality indicator (100 is the highest score)
Versions - List of versions if available. Use one of those versions if the user provides a version in their query. The format is /org/project/version.

Selection process

Analyze the query to understand what library/package the user is looking for
Select the most relevant match based on:
- Name similarity to the query (exact matches prioritized)
- Description relevance to the query's intent
- Documentation coverage (prioritize libraries with higher Code Snippet counts)
- Source reputation (consider libraries with High or Medium reputation more authoritative)
- Benchmark score (higher is better, 100 is the maximum)
If multiple good matches exist, acknowledge this but proceed with the most relevant one
If no good matches exist, clearly state this and suggest query refinements
For ambiguous queries, request clarification before proceeding with a best-guess match

Version-specific IDs

If the user mentions a specific version, use a version-specific library ID:

bash

# General (latest indexed)
ctx7 docs /vercel/next.js "How to set up app router"

# Version-specific
ctx7 docs /vercel/next.js/v14.3.0-canary.87 "How to set up app router"

The available versions are listed in the ctx7 library output. Use the closest match to what the user specified.

Show full SKILL.md (241 more words)Show less

Step 2: Query Documentation

Retrieves up-to-date documentation and code examples for the resolved library.

bash

ctx7 docs /facebook/react "How to clean up useEffect with async operations"
ctx7 docs /vercel/next.js "How to add authentication middleware to app router"
ctx7 docs /prisma/prisma "How to define one-to-many relations with cascade delete"

Writing good queries

The query directly affects the quality of results. Be specific and include relevant details. Do not include any sensitive or confidential information such as API keys, passwords, credentials, personal data, or proprietary code in your query.

Quality	Example
Good	`"How to set up authentication with JWT in Express.js"`
Good	`"React useEffect cleanup function with async operations"`
Bad	`"auth"`
Bad	`"hooks"`

Use the user's full question as the query when possible, vague one-word queries return generic results.

The output contains two types of content: code snippets (titled, with language-tagged blocks) and info snippets (prose explanations with breadcrumb context).

Authentication

Works without authentication. For higher rate limits:

bash

# Option A: environment variable
export CONTEXT7_API_KEY=your_key

# Option B: OAuth login
ctx7 login

Error Handling

If a command fails with a quota error ("Monthly quota reached" or "quota exceeded"):

Inform the user their Context7 quota is exhausted
Suggest they authenticate for higher limits: ctx7 login
If they cannot or choose not to authenticate, answer from training knowledge and clearly note it may be outdated

Do not silently fall back to training data - always tell the user why Context7 was not used.

Common Mistakes

Library IDs require a / prefix - /facebook/react not facebook/react
Always run ctx7 library first - ctx7 docs react "hooks" will fail without a valid ID
Use descriptive queries, not single words - "React useEffect cleanup function" not "hooks"
Do not include sensitive information (API keys, passwords, credentials) in queries
