## Brief overview
These rules establish the mandatory use of Context7 MCP server for all development operations, ensuring access to the most current practices and information. This is a global requirement that applies to all projects and development tasks.

## Context7 MCP dependency
- All library research, documentation lookup, and best practice validation MUST use Context7 MCP server
- Before implementing any new technology, framework, or library, validate current patterns through Context7
- When encountering errors or implementation issues, consult Context7 for updated solutions and patterns
- Never assume knowledge of libraries or frameworks without Context7 validation

## Development workflow with Context7
- Start any new feature or library integration by resolving the library ID through Context7
- Use Context7 to get current documentation and implementation patterns before coding
- When debugging or troubleshooting, reference Context7 for updated solutions
- Validate testing patterns and mocking strategies through Context7 before implementation

## Information validation process
- Context7 serves as the authoritative source for current development practices
- All technical decisions should be informed by Context7 documentation and patterns
- When user requests revalidation of approaches, immediately consult Context7
- Prioritize Context7 guidance over assumed knowledge or outdated practices

## Implementation standards
- Follow Context7-validated patterns for testing, mocking, and development workflows
- Use Context7 to verify compatibility and current best practices for all dependencies
- Ensure all code patterns align with Context7-provided examples and documentation
- Reference Context7 for proper configuration and setup procedures

## Error handling and troubleshooting
- When tests fail or implementations don't work as expected, consult Context7 for current solutions
- Use Context7 to validate mocking patterns and testing strategies
- Reference Context7 for proper error handling and debugging approaches
- Always check Context7 for updated patterns when encountering technical issues
