OHDSI Context7

Hi All

I’ve noticed there is not much OHDSI in context7 so i’ve been getting it to scan repos where I can so a fair few are now available.

Context7 is what alot of the agentic coding tools use to understand how to code, or how to work within a specific framework - or even just general best practices so by having the info exist there it makes it alot easier for the tools to know what to do.

If you’re not using context7 you should be!

Thanks @jvent !

I must admit I’m not fully aware of Context7 and how it works. What specifically are you proposing we do? How can we best support agentic coding tools?

It just scrapes documentation and code examples and turns it into a clean source of context for the model to find information and reduces hallucinations or bad quality code. Great examples are data structures and API because how nuanced they can be but armed with the proper docs it lets them navigate. Issue I recently had was to with SOURCE_TO_CONCEPT_MAP being deprecated… which the models would pull of an old link saying the site is deprecated… So the models would come up with creative solutions to get around my instruction and to do what it thinks is best. As soon as I chucked CDM into context7 I could tell the model ‘use the SCTM docs you bum!’ and it would start perfectly including it without fault.

As far as supporting them it’s more just awareness I think, if you’re working on something like an API, model or web service just chuck it into context7 so its aware of it.
