c7 - Context7 Documentation Fetcher

Fetch-only skill. Does NOT read docs into context.

Usage

Fetch documentation

scripts/c7.sh <library-name> "<query>"

Example:

scripts/c7.sh nextjs "app router middleware"

List cached docs

scripts/c7.sh --list

Force re-fetch (bypass cache)

scripts/c7.sh --force <library-name> "<query>"

Workflow

1. Run scripts/c7.sh <library> "<query>"

2. Handle output:

   • CACHED: <path> (Xh old) → Use AskUserQuestion: "Documentation for X is already cached (Y hours old). Use cached version or fetch fresh?"
     • If re-fetch → run with --force
     • If use cached → inform user of location, done
   • Success (path printed) → inform user: "Documentation saved to "
   • NOT_FOUND: → Use AskUserQuestion: "Library not found in Context7. How should I proceed?" with options like retry with different name, skip, etc.
   • RATE_LIMITED: → inform user rate limit hit, stop
   • API_ERROR: → inform user of error, stop

3. Done. Do NOT read the file into context.
