What it does
Exa Hello World is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Prove a new Exa Search integration with a bounded synthetic query and content-free assertions. Use when operating or reviewing this Exa boundary. Trigger with "Exa hello world", "review Exa hello world", or "fix Exa hello world".
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code; live Exa work requires network access
It sits in Testing & QA. It works with Exa. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Reviewing this Exa boundary
- With Exa hello world
- Review Exa hello world
- Fix Exa hello world
Example prompts
- “Exa hello world”
- “review Exa hello world”
- “fix Exa hello world”
- “/exa-hello-world”
Requirements
- A credential in EXA_API_KEY
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; live Exa work requires network access
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Define a non-sensitive query with a stable topical expectation.
- Set an explicit result cap and omit content extraction for the first probe.
- Submit one authorized request through the application adapter.
- Validate requestId, result count, URL schemes, and the cost field.
- Repeat only once when the failure is explicitly retryable.
- Delete transient output and retain only content-free evidence.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGlobGrepWriteEdit
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
EXA_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Compatibility
Designed for Claude Code; live Exa work requires network access
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Exa Hello World loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 547 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Exa Search Smoke Test
Overview
Prove a new Exa Search integration with a bounded synthetic query and content-free assertions. Treat credentials, queries, retrieved content, generated output, spend, and destructive state as separately governed boundaries.
Prerequisites
- The target repository, environment, Exa team, product surface, and accountable owner.
- The workload's data classification, latency and freshness promise, cost ceiling, and retention policy.
- Current first-party documentation plus credentials only for a narrowly approved live check.
Current Contract
POST /search requires a query and defaults to type auto. New code should not select legacy neural terminology. A successful smoke test checks requestId, bounded results, valid HTTP(S) URLs, and costDollars rather than snapshotting volatile rankings or page text.
Authentication
For normal REST work, inject EXA_API_KEY from an approved server-side secret manager and send it only as Authorization: Bearer to the configured first-party Exa API host. Team Management service keys, hosted MCP OAuth or enterprise managed authorization, and payment-protocol calls are separate trust models. Never print, commit, place in a URL, or expose a credential to an untrusted client.
Instructions
- Define a non-sensitive query with a stable topical expectation.
- Set an explicit result cap and omit content extraction for the first probe.
- Submit one authorized request through the application adapter.
- Validate requestId, result count, URL schemes, and the cost field.
- Repeat only once when the failure is explicitly retryable.
- Delete transient output and retain only content-free evidence.
Tool Discipline
Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect repository code, configuration, fixtures, and evidence. Use Write and Edit only for approved implementation or documentation changes. Do not call Exa, run paid research, create or alter a Monitor, Webset, Agent run, Batch, team, member, API key, budget, webhook, or deployment merely because this skill was invoked.
Approval Boundaries
Require an accountable owner before live queries involving sensitive intent, production credentials, spend or rate-limit changes, forced live crawling, generated summaries, external delivery, deployment, member or key changes, schedule creation, or destructive cancellation, stopping, deletion, or revocation. Read-only repository inspection and synthetic offline validation do not authorize live vendor actions.
Show full SKILL.md (203 more words)Show less
Failure Modes
- HTTP 200 does not prove relevance or freshness.
- Exact rank and title snapshots are brittle because the web index changes.
- A live smoke test without an approved budget is not an offline validation.
Output
Return the operation scope, environment, team and product surface, authorization class, contract and policy decisions, deterministic validation results, content-free identifiers, status and cost counts, risks, cleanup or rollback state, and a concise pass or fail receipt. Exclude credentials, raw queries, prompts, presigned URLs, retrieved content, generated output, and customer-derived data unless separately approved.
Example
- Search for a public standards topic with type auto and three results, then assert shape and topical domains without storing returned text.
- Finish with request or resource IDs, assertion counts, cost and terminal state, rollback or deletion status, and the decision owner; never reproduce secrets or retrieved content.
Validation
Rerun the smallest relevant deterministic test, compare actual behavior with the requested outcome and current first-party contract, verify sensitive fields are absent from evidence, and confirm deadlines, terminal state, downstream retention, and rollback before reporting success.
References
Review the dated first-party evidence map before relying on any endpoint, parameter, search type, price, limit, beta, compliance, identity, retry, or lifecycle claim.
