Context7 provides up-to-date documentation for libraries and frameworks. Use it when you need accurate, current information about external dependencies.

ALWAYS use Context7 when:

  • Researching how to use a library or framework (e.g., React, Radix UI, Shadcn, Tailwind CSS)
  • Looking up API documentation for external packages
  • Finding best practices for third-party libraries
  • Verifying current syntax or feature availability
  • You're unsure about implementation details of external dependencies

Do NOT use Context7 for:

  • Internal codebase questions (use the search tools instead)
  • Project-specific patterns or conventions
  • Questions about our design system tokens
