Setup & Installation
What This Skill Does
A CLI tool for web search built for AI agents. Runs searches from the terminal and returns pre-extracted, token-budgeted content ready for LLM consumption. Supports web search, news, images, videos, local places, AI-synthesized answers, and custom ranking via Goggles.
It combines search, scraping, and content extraction into a single CLI call that returns token-budgeted JSON, so agents skip the usual multi-step pipeline of searching, fetching pages, and parsing HTML.
When to use it
- Looking up error messages and stack traces during a debugging session
- Searching official documentation for a specific library or framework
- Grounding LLM responses with current web content in an agent workflow
- Checking recent news and breaking changes before a dependency upgrade
- Finding local businesses or points of interest from the command line
