/library-docs-lookup
When writing code against an external library, framework, SDK, or API, look up its CURRENT documentation with the context7 MCP tools instead of relying on memory. Use whenever you import/call a third-party package or hit an unfamiliar or fast-moving API.

Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Look up real library docs (don't guess the API)
Training data goes stale: library APIs, method signatures, config keys, and best practices change between versions. Guessing them is a top source of subtly-wrong code. When you touch an external library/framework/SDK/API, get the CURRENT docs.
How
The `context7` MCP server is available. Use its tools:
1. **`resolve-library-id`** — resolve the library name (e.g. "tauri", "centrifuge-go", "react-query") to its context7 id. 2. **`get-library-docs`** — fetch the up-to-date docs for that id, scoped to the topic/symbol you need (the specific hook, method, or config option).
Pull the version the project actually depends on — check `go.mod` / `package.json` / `Cargo.toml` / `requirements.txt` — not "latest", when they differ.
When to use it
- Calling a method/option you're not 100% sure exists in the version in use.
- Wiring up a new dependency, an SDK client, or a framework feature.
- An unfamiliar or fast-moving library (cloud SDKs, web frameworks, build tools).
- A compile/runtime error that looks like an API mismatch.
When NOT to bother
- The standard library or a tiny, stable utility you know cold.
- Pure project-internal code — read the repo, not external docs.
Prefer one focused docs lookup over a wrong guess you then have to debug.
