# External Research

## When to Use

| Source | Use For |

|--------|---------|

| Context7 | Library APIs, method signatures, usage examples |

| WebSearch | Design patterns, architecture decisions, best practices |

## Context7 Workflow

Use Context7 if available. User installs it globally, so its tool prefix varies. Find the tools with `ToolSearch` (query `context7`) and load them before calling. If none exist, skip Context7 and use WebSearch. Do not warn and do not stop.

```

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

- Prefer primary documentation over secondary commentary:

- ```

- Need library API details?

- ├─ Yes → Context7

- └─ No → Need design guidance?

- ├─ Yes → WebSearch

- └─ No → Proceed with existing knowledge

- ```

+ Prefer primary documentation over secondary commentary. Research only when existing knowledge does not settle the question.
