Search Google via Bright Data SERP API. An agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates.

  • Tasks that involve Web search
  • SKILL.md covers Setup, Usage, Output Format and Dependencies
  • Runs Shell scripts from its folder; calls bash; needs BRIGHTDATA_API_KEY
  • Tasks that involve Secrets management

What it does

Search is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Search Google via Bright Data SERP API. Returns structured JSON results with title, link, and description. Requires BRIGHTDATAAPIKEY and BRIGHTDATAUNLOCKERZONE environment variables.

Its SKILL.md is about 340 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/search.sh`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search and Secrets management. It works with Bright Data and SerpApi. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Web search
  • Tasks that involve Secrets management

Example prompts

  • “/search”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • A credential in BRIGHTDATA_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 46b4d8b. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • brightdata.com

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

  • Credentials

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

    • BRIGHTDATA_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Search loads about 339 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 84 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~339

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.
