Retrieve up-to-date documentation and code examples for any software library, framework, or API via the Context7 service, using the `c7search` CLI. Use this skill whenever looking up how to use a library or framework, finding current code examples for a specific API or feature, verifying the correct signature or usage of a library function, or checking library behavior that may have changed since the training cutoff — even when the user doesn't name Context7 or c7search explicitly. `c7search` is a single Go binary wrapping Context7's public v2 API with on-disk caching, retries, and predictable exit codes.

# c7search `c7search` wraps the Context7 v2 documentation API in a single static binary. It exposes two operations — resolve a library name to an ID, then fetch docs for that ID — with on-disk caching, secret redaction, retries, and semantic exit codes. Payload goes to **stdout** (markdown by default, JSON on demand); status messages go to **stderr**, so you can pipe stdout straight into the model context without filtering. ## When to use - "How do I X in `<library>`" / "show me `<library>`'s API for Y" - Need current code examples or usage for a library or framework - A library may have changed since the training cutoff - Verifying the right API surface before generating code that uses it ## Check the binary is installed ```bash command -v c7search >/dev/null 2>&1 && c7search version || echo MISSING ``` If `MISSING`: the quickest install (and the only one needing no extra steps on macOS) is `go install github.com/kevin-burns/c7search@latest`, then ensure `$(go env GOPATH)/bin` is on `$PATH`. For release binaries and per-OS notes (macOS Gatekeeper, Windows SmartScreen), see the install section of the README: <https://github.com/kevin-burns/c7search#install>. If you can't install a binary, fall back to the curl-based `context7` skill (same endpoints, no caching/retries): <https://github.com/intellectronica/agent-skills/blob/main/skills/context7/SKILL.md> An API key is optional (`CONTEXT7_API_KEY=ctx7sk-...` lifts rate limits); the anonymous tier is fine for casual looku
