What it does

Tavily Search is an agent skill from npc-live/clawfirm. 网页搜索与内容抓取工具。当用户需要搜索互联网信息、抓取网页内容、 查找最新资讯、研究某个话题、或获取某个 URL 页面的详细内容时触发。 底层使用 Tavily Search / Crawl API,通过 tavily-cli 执行。 触发关键词:搜索、查一下、找一下、抓取、crawl、search、查资料、联网查。

Its SKILL.md is about 930 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.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Web search

Example prompts

  • “/tavily-search”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in TAVILY_API_KEY

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. 判断操作类型
  2. 构造命令
  3. 执行并捕获输出
  4. 解读结果

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit db435ed. 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:

    • pip

    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:

    • docs.python.org

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

  • Credentials

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

    • TAVILY_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Tavily Search loads about 928 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 152 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~928

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 152 words (~928 tokens).
