What it does

Native Web Search is an agent skill from mitsuhiko/agent-stuff. Trigger native web search. Use when you need quick internet research with concise summaries and full source URLs.

Its SKILL.md is about 350 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search. The repository describes itself as: These are commands I use with agents, mostly Claude. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Native web search
  • You need quick internet research with concise summaries and full source URLs

Example prompts

  • “/native-web-search”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0865c84. 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 script files (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    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

Native Web Search loads about 351 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 124 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
~351

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.

description
Trigger native web search. Use when you need quick internet research with concise summaries and full source URLs.

Use this skill to run a fast model with native web search enabled and get a concise research summary with explicit full URLs.

Script

  • search.mjs

Usage

Run from this skill directory:

bash
node search.mjs "<what to search>" --purpose "<why you need this>"

Examples:

bash
node search.mjs "latest python release" --purpose "update dependency notes"
node search.mjs "vite 7 breaking changes" --purpose "prepare migration checklist"

Optional flags:

  • --provider openai-codex|anthropic
  • --model <model-id>
  • --timeout <ms>
  • --json

Output expectations

The script instructs the model to:

  • search the internet for the requested topic
  • provide a concise summary for the given purpose
  • include full canonical URLs (https://...) for each key finding
  • highlight disagreements between sources

Notes

  • No extra npm install is required.
  • If module resolution fails, set PI_AI_MODULE_PATH to @earendil-works/pi-ai's dist/index.js path.
  • If OAuth helper resolution fails, set PI_AI_OAUTH_MODULE_PATH to @earendil-works/pi-ai's dist/oauth.js path.
  • For OAuth providers, the script can fall back to a still-valid cached access token from ~/.pi/agent/auth.json.
