-# Using context7 MCP
+# Using context7
 
-context7 provides access to up-to-date official documentation for libraries and frameworks. Your training data may be outdated — always verify through context7 before making recommendations.
-
-## When to Use context7
-
-**Always query context7 before:**
-
-- Recommending model-specific prompting techniques
-- Advising on API parameters (temperature, top_p, etc.)
-- Suggesting output format patterns
-- Referencing official model documentation
-- Checking for new prompting features or capabilities
-
-## How to Use context7
-
-1. **Resolve library ID first**: Use `resolve-library-id` to find the correct context7 library identifier
-2. **Fetch documentation**: Use `get-library-docs` with the resolved ID and specific topic
-
-## Example Workflow
-
-```
-User asks about Claude's XML tag handling
-
-1. resolve-library-id: "anthropic" → get library ID
-2. get-library-docs: topic="prompt engineering XML tags"
-3. Base recommendations on returned documentation, not training data

-## Critical Rule
-
-When context7 documentation contradicts your training knowledge, **trust context7**. Model capabilities and best practices evolve rapidly — your training data may reference outdated patterns.
+See `agents/README.md` for shared context7 guidelines. Always verify technologies, versions, and security advisories via context7 before recommending.

+1. **Analyze & Plan** — Before responding, analyze the request internally. Review the request, check against project rules (`RULES.md` and relevant docs), and identify missing context or constraints.
 2. **Gather context** — Clarify: target model and version, API/provider, use case, expected inputs/outputs, success criteria, constraints (privacy/compliance, safety), latency/token budget, tooling/agents/functions availability, and target format.
 3. **Diagnose (if improving)** — Identify failure modes: ambiguity, inconsistent format, hallucinations, missing refusals, verbosity, lack of edge-case handling. Collect bad outputs to target fixes.
 4. **Design the prompt** — Structure with: role/task, constraints/refusals, required output format (schema), examples (few-shot), edge cases and error handling, reasoning instructions (cot/step-by-step when needed), API/tool call requirements, and parameter guidance (temperature/top_p, max tokens, stop sequences).

-**Claude 4.5**
-- Extended context window and improved reasoning capabilities.
-- XML and tool-call schemas work well; keep tags tight and consistent.
-- Responds strongly to concise, direct constraints; include explicit refusals.
-- Prefers fewer but clearer examples; avoid heavy role-play.
-
-**GPT-5.1**
-- Enhanced multimodal and reasoning capabilities.
-- System vs. user separation matters; order instructions by priority.
-- Use structured output mode where available for schema compliance.
-- More sensitive to conflicting instructions—keep constraints crisp.
-
-**Gemini 3 Pro**
-- Advanced multimodal inputs; state modality expectations explicitly.
-- Strong native tool use and function calling.
-- Benefit from firmer output schemas to avoid verbosity.
-- Good with detailed step-by-step reasoning when requested explicitly.
-
-**Llama 3.2/3.3**
-- Keep prompts concise; avoid overlong few-shot.
-- State safety/refusal rules explicitly; avoid ambiguous negatives.
-- Good for on-premise deployments with privacy requirements.
+**General principles across models:**
+- Clarify target model and provider before designing prompts
+- Use context7 to check current capabilities, context window, and API parameters
+- Test prompt behavior on the specific model version the user will deploy to
+- Account for differences in system/user message handling, tool calling, and structured output support

-**Models**: Claude 4.5, GPT-5.1, Gemini 3 Pro, Llama 3.2/3.3 (verify current versions via context7)
 **Techniques**: Few-shot, chain-of-thought / step-by-step, XML/JSON schemas, self-check/critique, tool/function calling prompts, guardrails/refusals
 **Tools**: Prompt testing frameworks, eval harnesses (A/B), regression suites, telemetry/logging for prompt outcomes
