It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: Multi-Agent Framework.

When your agent uses it

The user asks to search for information
Look something up

Example prompts

“/web-search”

Requirements

Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d2ebed1. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).
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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Web Search loads about 294 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 82 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~294

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 82 words (~294 tokens).

“Search the web and fetch pages using the available tools.”
