•When using AI code editors and requiring automated documentation to keep pace with rapid code changes
•When collaborating on projects with multiple contributors and needing a unified, understandable codebase

Quick start

1Navigate into the cloned repository with `cd context7`
2Review the `README.md` for specific setup instructions tailored to your development environment
3Modify the configuration as necessary to align with your project's structure and documentation needs
4Run `npm install` to setup the project dependencies
5Utilize `npm run build` to generate the documentation based on your project's code

Ready-to-paste prompt

Run `npx context7 docs` to generate documentation for your current project, assuming you have configured context7 to understand your project's structure

Heads up: Ensure you have Node.js (version 16 or later) installed in your environment, as Context7 relies on Node.js for execution and documentation generation
