At a glance

Search the web for real-time information using the Skywork web search API.

  • Works in 3 steps: Environment variable SKYBOT_TOKEN → if… → Cached token file ~/.skywork_token →… → No valid token → opens browser for…
  • The user needs up-to-date information from the internet — for example
  • SKILL.md covers When to use, Authentication (Required First), How to use and Crafting good queries, plus 3 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python3; needs SKYBOT_TOKEN

What it does

Skywork Search is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Search the web for real-time information using the Skywork web search API. Use this skill whenever the user needs up-to-date information from the internet — for example, researching a topic, looking up recent events, finding facts or statistics, gathering material for a document or presentation, or answering questions that require current data. Also trigger when the user says things like "search for", "look up", "find information about", "what's the latest on", or any request that implies needing information…

Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/skywork_auth.py`, `scripts/web_search.py` and `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search and Statistics. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • The user needs up-to-date information from the internet — for example
  • Researching a topic
  • Looking up recent events
  • Gathering material for a document

Example prompts

  • “search for”
  • “look up”
  • “find information about”
  • “/skywork-search”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in SKYBOT_TOKEN

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Environment variable SKYBOT_TOKEN → if set, use directly
  2. Cached token file ~/.skywork_token → validate via API, if valid, use it
  3. No valid token → opens browser for login, polls until complete, saves token

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 755bc35. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • SKYBOT_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Skywork Search loads about 964 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 139 tokens; SKILL.md has 419 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~139
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~964

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 419 words (~964 tokens).
