Add Context7 plugin with automatic Claude Code integration: - MCP server for up-to-date library documentation - SessionStart hook for automatic Context7 tool usage - Plugin manifest with npx configuration and API key support - Updated marketplace.json with context7 entry Related: upstash/context7#786
Replace SessionStart hook with Claude Code skill for more intelligent and token-efficient Context7 integration. Changes: - Add skills/context7/SKILL.md with intelligent activation patterns - Remove hooks/ directory (hooks.json, context.sh, CONTEXT7.md) - Remove hooks reference from plugin.json - Update README.md with skill-based installation guide Benefits: - Claude automatically activates skill only when needed - Reduces token usage (no constant context loading) - Clearer trigger patterns (library, framework, API docs) - Simpler maintenance (single markdown file vs shell script) The skill triggers automatically when: - Writing code with external libraries - Needing library documentation or API references - Setting up or configuring frameworks - Requesting code examples with specific packages

Update context7 plugin to use Skill system instead of SessionStart hook. The new version provides intelligent, on-demand activation: - Claude loads Context7 only when working with libraries/frameworks - Significantly reduces token usage - Simpler maintenance with single SKILL.md file Upstream PR: upstash/context7#786 Commit: 13f4296

This implementation uses Skills instead of SessionStart hooks for better token efficiency and user experience:
Why Skills?

The skill automatically activates when you:
Claude intelligently detects these scenarios and fetches up-to-date documentation seamlessly.
Skill Activation Example
When you ask:
Claude automatically:
