What it does

Web Search Andi is an agent skill from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills. Fast, high-quality web search with intelligent ranking and instant answers

Its SKILL.md is about 930 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill.meta.json`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search. The repository describes itself as: Library of Growth & GTM skills + data APIs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor to run ads, social, content, lead gen, seo and data scraping. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Web search

Example prompts

  • “/web-search-andi”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • A credential in GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Research: Find high-quality sources on any topic
  2. Fact-Finding: Get accurate answers with sources
  3. Technical Lookup: Find documentation and guides
  4. News Monitoring: Track current events
  5. Competitive Intelligence: Research companies and products

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c650c6d. 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
    • python3
    • npx

    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.gooseworks.ai

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

  • Credentials

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

    • GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Web Search Andi loads about 932 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 312 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~932

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.
