SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Library and framework documentation changes frequently, and AI assistants often rely on outdated training data when answering questions about external dependencies like React, Radix UI, or Tailwind CSS. This Skill routes those questions to Context7 MCP so answers reflect current, accurate documentation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - External Library Research: Look up current API documentation and usage patterns for third-party packages such as React, Radix UI, Shadcn, and Tailwind CSS. - Syntax and Feature Verification: Confirm whether a feature exists or how syntax works in the current version of a dependency. - Clear Scope Boundaries: Explicitly excludes internal codebase questions and design-system token questions, which should use search tools instead. - Use Case: When unsure how to compose a Radix UI primitive or which Tailwind utilities apply to a pattern, the assistant queries Context7 for the latest official docs instead of guessing. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to look up the current documentation for a third-party library, such as how to use a specific Radix UI component or Tailwind CSS feature.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get up-to-date documentation for React or Tailwind CSS?▼

Use the Context7 MCP integration, which fetches current documentation for external libraries and frameworks. Ask about the specific API, component, or feature you need, and the assistant queries Context7 rather than relying on potentially outdated training data.

When should I use Context7 instead of codebase search?▼

Use Context7 for questions about external third-party libraries and frameworks like React, Radix UI, or Tailwind CSS. Use codebase search tools for internal project code, project-specific patterns, and design-system token questions.

Can Context7 answer questions about my project's internal code?▼

No. Context7 only provides documentation for external libraries and frameworks. Internal codebase questions, project conventions, and design-system token lookups should be handled with search tools instead.

What libraries does Context7 documentation lookup support?▼

It targets external dependencies commonly used in the project, including React, Radix UI, Shadcn, and Tailwind CSS. It is intended for verifying current syntax, API documentation, and best practices for third-party packages.

Why does the assistant give outdated library syntax sometimes?▼

AI training data has a cutoff date, so library APIs may have changed since. Routing the question through Context7 retrieves current official documentation, which resolves version drift and deprecated syntax issues.
