What it does

Tavily Hikari Best Practices is an agent skill from IvanLi-CN/tavily-hikari. Guide agents to use Tavily Hikari safely through tvly-hikari.

Its SKILL.md is about 290 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, covering Web search. It works with Tavily. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Web search

Example prompts

  • “/tavily-hikari-best-practices”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fcc143a. 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 bash).

    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

Tavily Hikari Best Practices loads about 287 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 109 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
~287

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.

Tavily Hikari Best Practices

Use this skill when deciding how to call Tavily Hikari from an agent workflow.

Rules

  • Use tvly-hikari ... --json for agent-readable output.

  • Use Hikari tokens beginning with th-; never paste official Tavily API keys into downstream agents or user machines.

  • Configure Hikari once:

    bash
    tvly-hikari configure --base-url https://<your-hikari-host> --token th-<id>-<secret>
  • Treat /mcp and /api/tavily/* as different integration surfaces:

    • MCP clients use https://<your-hikari-host>/mcp with bearer auth.
    • CLI and HTTP-style clients use https://<your-hikari-host>/api/tavily.
  • Keep searches narrow, save large outputs with -o or --output-dir, and cite source URLs when answering factual questions.

  • Do not test against Tavily production upstream unless the operator explicitly approves it; use local or sandbox Hikari endpoints for smoke tests.

Quick Smoke

bash
tvly-hikari doctor
tvly-hikari search "Tavily Hikari smoke test" --json
