Best practices
Follow these steps to reduce risk when using this skill.
- Store `CONTEXT7_API_KEY` in `.env` and never commit or share it.
- Avoid including proprietary code, secrets, or customer data in queries sent to context7.com.
- Monitor API usage and rotate the key if you suspect it was exposed.
