Verified libraries receive a special badge that signals quality and trustworthiness to developers. Verification helps your library rank higher in search results and gives users confidence that your documentation is reliable.
<Note>Only library owners can apply for verification. You must claim your library before applying.</Note>
Verification provides several benefits for your library:
Once verified, your library displays a green checkmark badge next to its name:

There are two paths to verification:
Libraries are automatically verified when they meet certain quality thresholds:
Automatic verification is checked daily. If your library qualifies, it will be verified automatically without any action required.
If your library doesn't qualify for automatic verification, you can apply manually:
<Steps> <Step title="Claim Your Library"> You must be a verified owner of the library. See [Claim Your Library](/howto/claiming-libraries) for instructions. </Step> <Step title="Go to the Admin Page"> Navigate to your library's admin page at:```

- **Trust score above 7**: Calculated from your GitHub organization/user profile, including stars, repository count, account age, recent activity, followers, and profile completeness.
- **250+ GitHub stars** *(repositories only)*: Indicates a strong and established community.
- **Top 1% by popularity ranking**: Your library is among the most in-demand sources indexed on Context7.
- **200+ referring domains** *(websites and llms.txt sources only)*: Your source is cited or linked to by more than 200 unique external domains, demonstrating broad recognition across the web.

Skills inherit the verification status of their parent library. When your library is verified:
If your library meets one of the quality thresholds, verification is instant. Otherwise, your application is reviewed immediately after submission. If it's not automatically accepted, you can open a GitHub issue to request a manual review.
Yes, in rare cases. Verification may be revoked if:
No. Verification is completely free and based solely on library quality.
Automatic verification is recalculated daily. If your library no longer meets the automatic criteria, you'll retain your verification status but may need to apply manually if it's ever revoked.
Automatic verification considers multiple factors including trust score, usage statistics, and skill installs. When you apply manually, Context7 also checks quality criterias like GitHub stars, popularity ranking, and referring domains. If you believe your library meets any of these thresholds, please apply manually and the check will run immediately.
