Calls curl; reaches api.search.brave.com; needs API_KEY and BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY

Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation. The repository describes itself as: Official skills for using Brave Search API with AI coding agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Spell correction

Example prompts

“Did you mean?”
“/spellcheck”

Requirements

A credential in BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY
A credential in API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 62793e0. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- curl
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- api.search.brave.com
Also links to:
- api-dashboard.search.brave.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- API_KEY
- BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Spellcheck loads about 580 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 181 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~580

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

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
