Context7

Use Context7 for version-specific docs and code examples. Prefer direct HTTP via curl

Required shell helper

Source the bash helper from this skill once per shell:

source "${SKILLS_DIR:-skills}/context7/scripts/context7.sh"

If SKILLS_DIR is unavailable, source the same file from your local skills/ checkout.

Then use context7 <subcommand> everywhere below.

Credential check policy: do not stop at echo $CONTEXT7_API_KEY in the parent shell. Always run the documented helper entrypoint first; it auto-loads a skill-local .env using the lookup order below. The API key is optional for basic usage, so only report a credential problem if the real command still fails or the user specifically needs higher-rate access.
