resolve-library-id

Convert a package or product name into a Context7-compatible library ID to retrieve relevant libraries. Enables accurate documentation access by prioritizing name similarity, intent, and trust score for precise results.

Instructions

Resolves a package/product name to a Context7-compatible library ID and returns a list of matching libraries.

You MUST call this function before 'get-library-docs' to obtain a valid Context7-compatible library ID UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query.

Selection Process:

Analyze the query to understand what library/package the user is looking for
Return the most relevant match based on:

Name similarity to the query (exact matches prioritized)
Description relevance to the query's intent
Documentation coverage (prioritize libraries with higher Code Snippet counts)
Trust score (consider libraries with scores of 7-10 more authoritative)

Response Format:

Return the selected library ID in a clearly marked section
Provide a brief explanation for why this library was chosen
If multiple good matches exist, acknowledge this but proceed with the most relevant one
If no good matches exist, clearly state this and suggest query refinements

For ambiguous queries, request clarification before proceeding with a best-guess match.
