# External Research
- External documentation and research via Context7 and WebSearch.
-
## When to Use
| Source | Use For |
|--------|---------|
| Context7 | Library APIs, method signatures, usage examples |
| WebSearch | Design patterns, architecture decisions, best practices |
## Context7 Workflow
```
1. resolve-library-id
query: "<what you need>"
libraryName: "<library name>"
2. query-docs
libraryId: "<from step 1>"
query: "<specific question>"
```
## WebSearch Workflow
```
1. WebSearch(query: "<design question>")
2. Extract relevant patterns
3. Apply to implementation
```
## Priority Decision
- Apply an **evidence hierarchy** — primary documentation over secondary commentary:
+ Prefer primary documentation over secondary commentary:
```
Need library API details?
├─ Yes → Context7
└─ No → Need design guidance?
├─ Yes → WebSearch
└─ No → Proceed with existing knowledge
- ```
-
- ## Example
-
- Adding rate limiting to Express API:
-
- ```
- 1. resolve-library-id
- query: "Express.js rate limiting"
- libraryName: "express-rate-limit"
-
- 2. query-docs
- libraryId: "/nfriedly/express-rate-limit"
- query: "middleware setup options"
-
- 3. Implement using verified current API
```
