When the user asks about libraries, frameworks, or needs code examples, use Context7 to fetch current documentation instead of relying on training data.

## When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when the user:

- Asks setup or configuration questions ("How do I configure Next.js middleware?")
- Requests code involving libraries ("Write a Prisma query for...")
- Needs API references ("What methods are available in the Backstage CatalogClient or CatalogApi?")
- Mentions specific frameworks (React, Angular, Express, Tailwind, etc.)

## What this skill covers

- **[Documentation](references/docs.md)** — Fetch current docs for any library. Use when writing code, verifying API signatures, or when training data may be outdated.

### Quick Reference
```
ctx7 library <name> <query>           # Step 1: resolve library ID
ctx7 docs <libraryId> <query>         # Step 2: fetch docs
```

## 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
