Step-by-step Workflow

context7-cli — Workflow

Auto-generated from SKILL.md. The skill itself is the source of truth; this is a human-readable map of what it does and how it runs.

What it does & when to use

Use the ctx7 CLI to fetch library documentation, manage AI coding skills, and configure Context7 MCP. Activate when the user mentions "ctx7" or "context7", needs current docs for any library, wants to install/search/generate skills, or needs to set up Context7 for their AI coding agent.

Triggers

  • ctx7
  • context7

How it works

Workflow outline (sections of SKILL.md):

  1. What this skill covers
  2. Quick Reference
  3. Authentication
  4. Common Mistakes

Components

  • references/ (3): docs.md, setup.md, skills.md

Invoke

  • Slash: /context7-cli
  • Or a natural-language request matching the triggers above.

Source: SKILL.md in this directory.

Execution Logic

The skill executes when its trigger fires (slash command, natural-language match, or direct invocation). It reads its references, applies its rules, and produces the documented outputs.

Edge Cases

See the source skill's references/ and scripts/ folders for edge-case handling.

Failure Handling

A skill failure surfaces as a tool error or a partial output; never a silent skip. Re-run with --verbose (where applicable) for diagnostics.

Integration Notes

  • Claude — invoked via the Skill tool with skill: "context7-cli".
  • Codex — referenced from AGENTS.md if mirrored.
  • Antigravity — referenced from the workspace agent rules if mirrored.
  • HQ Project — listed on the landing page Skills section + post-login sidebar.
  • MD Project (md.sgnk.ai) — file rendered from Skills/Context7 Cli/workflow.md.
  • Obsidian — file rendered with frontmatter + tags.

Usage Examples

Invoke via slash command or natural language matching the skill description.
