Agent skill
fetch-library-docs
Fetches official documentation for external libraries and frameworks (React, Next.js, Prisma, FastAPI, Express, Tailwind, MongoDB, etc.) with 60-90% token savings via content-type filtering. Use this skill when implementing features using library APIs, debugging library-specific errors, troubleshooting configuration issues, installing or setting up frameworks, integrating third-party packages, upgrading between library versions, or looking up correct API patterns and best practices. Triggers automatically during coding work - fetch docs before writing library code to get correct patterns, not after guessing wrong.

Library Documentation Skill
Fetches official library documentation with 60-90% token savings.
WHEN TO INVOKE (Auto-Detection)
INVOKE AUTOMATICALLY when:
| Context | Detection Signal | Content Type |
|---|---|---|
| Implementing | About to write code using library API | examples,api-ref |
| Debugging | Error contains library name (e.g., PrismaClientError) |
troubleshooting |
| Installing | Adding new package, npm install, setup task |
setup |
| Integrating | Connecting libraries ("use X with Y") | examples,setup |
| Upgrading | Version migration, breaking changes | migration |
| Uncertain | First use of library feature, unsure of pattern | examples |
DO NOT INVOKE when:
- Already have sufficient knowledge from training
- User pasted docs or has them open
- Task is about local/private code (use codebase search)
- Comparing libraries (use web search)
DECISION LOGIC
1. Identify Library
Priority: User mention → Error message → File imports → package.json → Ask user
Examples:
PrismaClientKnownRequestError→ library = "prisma"import { useState } from 'react'→ library = "react"from fastapi import FastAPI→ library = "fastapi"
2. Identify Topic
Priority: User specifies → Error message → Feature being implemented → "getting started"
3. Select Content Type
| Task | Content Type |
|---|---|
| Implementing code | examples,api-ref |
| Debugging error | troubleshooting,examples |
| Installing/setup | setup |
| Integrating libs | examples,setup |
| Upgrading version | migration |
| Understanding why | concepts |
| Best practices | patterns |
EXECUTION
IMPORTANT: Always use the Python entry point (fetch-docs.py) for cross-platform compatibility.
Use python3 on Linux/macOS/WSL, python on Windows:
# With known library ID (faster - saves 1 API call)
python3 scripts/fetch-docs.py --library-id <id> --topic "<topic>" --content-type <types>
# With library name (auto-resolves)
python3 scripts/fetch-docs.py --library <name> --topic "<topic>" --content-type <types>
Windows note: Use
pythoninstead ofpython3(e.g.,python scripts/fetch-docs.py ...)
Quick Library IDs
| Library | ID |
|---|---|
| React | /reactjs/react.dev |
| Next.js | /vercel/next.js |
| Prisma | /prisma/docs |
| Tailwind | /tailwindlabs/tailwindcss.com |
| FastAPI | /tiangolo/fastapi |
See references/library-ids.md for complete list.
ERROR HANDLING (Quick Reference)
| Error | Action |
|---|---|
[LIBRARY_NOT_FOUND] |
Try spelling variations |
[LIBRARY_MISMATCH] |
Use --library-id directly |
[EMPTY_RESULTS] |
Broaden topic or use --content-type all |
[RATE_LIMIT_ERROR] |
Check API key setup |
Call Budget: Context7 allows 3 calls/question. Use --library-id to save 1 call.
See references/context7-tools.md for full error handling.

Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
mcp-builder
Guide for creating high-quality MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that enable LLMs to interact with external services through well-designed tools. Use when building MCP servers to integrate external APIs or services, whether in Python (FastMCP) or Node/TypeScript (MCP SDK).
containerize-apps
Containerizes applications with impact-aware Dockerfiles and docker-compose configurations. This skill should be used when containerizing projects for Docker, creating Dockerfiles, docker-compose files, or preparing applications for Kubernetes deployment. It performs impact analysis first (env vars, network topology, auth/CORS), then generates properly configured container configs. Invokes the impact-analyzer subagent for comprehensive project scanning.
writing-dockerfile
Generates secure, production-ready Dockerfiles with multi-stage builds and security hardening. Use when Claude needs to write Dockerfiles for containerized applications.
skill-validator
Validates skills against production-level criteria with 9-category scoring. This skill should be used when reviewing, auditing, or improving skills to ensure quality standards. Evaluates structure, content, user interaction, documentation, domain standards, technical robustness, maintainability, zero-shot implementation, and reusability. Returns actionable validation report with scores and improvement recommendations.
mcp-chatkit-integration
Build MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and integrate them with OpenAI ChatKit and Agents SDK. Use this skill when Claude needs to: (1) Create an MCP server using FastMCP with Streamable HTTP transport (2) Define MCP tools for agents to call (3) Integrate MCP servers with OpenAI Agents SDK using MCPServerStreamableHttp (4) Build ChatKit server backends that use MCP tools (5) Handle multi-tenant user context injection for MCP tools (6) Debug MCP connection timeouts or tool execution issues (7) Deploy MCP servers in Docker/Kubernetes environments
discovering-intent
Conducts discovery conversations to understand user intent and agree on approach before taking action. Use when users ask for recommendations, need brainstorming, want to clarify requirements, or when requests could be misunderstood. Prevents building the wrong thing by uncovering WHY behind WHAT.
