looking-up-docs
Library documentation via Context7. Use for API references, code examples, framework docs.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill looking-up-docs-alexei-led-claude-code-config --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Documentation Lookup with Context7 Context7 provides up-to-date, version-specific documentation and code examples directly from source libraries. ## Why Context7 - **Current APIs**: No hallucinated or outdated patterns - **Version-specific**: Gets docs for exact library versions - **Code examples**: Real, working code from actual documentation ## Workflow 1. **Resolve library ID**: `mcp__context7__resolve-library-id` with `libraryName` 2. **Get documentation**: `mcp__context7__query-docs` with `context7CompatibleLibraryID` and `topic` ## Modes | Mode | Use For | | ------ | ------------------------------------------ | | `code` | API references, code examples (default) | | `info` | Conceptual guides, architecture, tutorials | ## Examples ``` # React hooks resolve-library-id: "react" get-library-docs: context7CompatibleLibraryID="/facebook/react", topic="hooks", mode="code" # Next.js middleware resolve-library-id: "next.js" get-library-docs: context7CompatibleLibraryID="/vercel/next.js", topic="middleware" # Go net/http resolve-library-id: "go net/http" get-library-docs: context7CompatibleLibraryID="/golang/go", topic="http server" # Kubernetes API resolve-library-id: "kubernetes" g

What does the looking-up-docs skill do?
Library documentation via Context7. Use for API references, code examples, framework docs.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill looking-up-docs-alexei-led-claude-code-config --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
