When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Web search

Example prompts

“/desearch-web-search”

Requirements

Python 3
A credential in DESEARCH_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

Get an API key from https://console.desearch.ai
Set environment variable: export DESEARCH_API_KEY='your-key-here'

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e5199b5. 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/ (Python), which the agent can run.
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:
- reddit.com
Also links to:
- console.desearch.ai
- desearch.ai
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- DESEARCH_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Desearch Web Search loads about 472 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 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: ~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~472

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

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.
