Our assessment of context7
context7 scores 50/100 on our quality scale, 1159th of 1,193 Content & Media skills we index.
Its SKILL.md is 1.3 KB long, split into 4 sections and no code examples: moderately detailed.
It has no GitHub stars yet, so there is no community track record; judge it on its content.
Maintenance, license and trust
- The repository was last updated about 3 months ago. That is recent enough to be usable, but agent tooling moves fast, so check the instructions against your agent's current version.
- No license is declared. By default that means all rights are reserved: you can read it, but reusing or redistributing it is not clearly permitted. Ask the author before building on it commercially.
- Its trust signals score 78/100, with 2 cautions from licensing, adoption, age or documentation. These come from repository metadata, not a code audit — read the skill file before letting an agent act on it.

Skill content
View source on GitHubname: context7 description: Up-to-date library and framework documentation via Context7 MCP. Use when setup, API, or version-specific questions require current documentation.
Context7
Provides up-to-date library and framework documentation. Use instead of relying on training data for library-specific questions.
When to Use
- Setup or configuration questions for any library or framework
- API references (Spring Boot, Kotlin, React, etc.)
- Code involving specific libraries where version accuracy matters
- Any question where "latest docs" are more reliable than training data
How to Use
Step 1 — Identify the library: call resolve-library-id with the library name and the user's question
Step 2 — Choose the best match: select based on name accuracy, trustScore, totalSnippets, and version if mentioned
Step 3 — Retrieve docs: call query-docs with the selected library ID and the user's specific topic (and optional tokens budget)
Step 4 — Respond: incorporate documentation findings with code examples and version citations
Best Practices
- Be specific with queries — include the user's exact question, not just the library name
- Respect version preferences when the user specifies one
- Prefer official package sources over community alternatives when multiple matches exist
