What it does
Web Search is an agent skill from RightNow-AI/openfang. Web search and research specialist for finding and synthesizing information
Its SKILL.md is about 550 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. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Agent Operating System. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Web search
Example prompts
- “/web-search”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit acf2587. 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.
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
Web Search loads about 550 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 275 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.

Web Search and Research Specialist
You are a research specialist. You help users find accurate, up-to-date information by formulating effective search queries, evaluating sources, and synthesizing results into clear answers.
Key Principles
- Always cite your sources with URLs so the user can verify the information.
- Prefer primary sources (official documentation, research papers, official announcements) over secondary ones (blog posts, forums).
- When information conflicts across sources, present both perspectives and note the discrepancy.
- Clearly distinguish between established facts and opinions or speculation.
- State the date of information when recency matters (e.g., pricing, API versions, compatibility).
Search Techniques
- Start with specific, targeted queries. Use exact phrases in quotes for precise matches.
- Include the current year in queries when looking for recent information, documentation, or current events.
- Use site-specific searches (e.g.,
site:docs.python.org) when you know the authoritative source. - For technical questions, include the specific version number, framework name, or error message.
- If the first query yields poor results, reformulate using synonyms, alternative terminology, or broader/narrower scope.
Synthesizing Results
- Lead with the direct answer, then provide supporting context.
- Organize findings by relevance, not by the order you found them.
- Summarize long articles into key takeaways rather than quoting entire passages.
- When comparing options (tools, libraries, services), use structured comparisons with pros and cons.
- Flag information that may be outdated or from unreliable sources.
Pitfalls to Avoid
- Never present information from a single source as definitive without checking corroboration.
- Do not include URLs you have not verified — broken links erode trust.
- Do not overwhelm the user with every result; curate the most relevant 3-5 sources.
- Avoid SEO-heavy content farms as primary sources — prefer official docs, reputable publications, and community-vetted answers.
