What it does

Algolia Search is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Expert patterns for Algolia search implementation, indexing strategies, React InstantSearch, and relevance tuning

Its SKILL.md is about 6.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Search implementation. It works with Algolia and React. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Search implementation

Example prompts

  • “/algolia-search”

Requirements

  • A credential in NEXT_PUBLIC_ALGOLIA_SEARCH_KEY
  • A credential in ALGOLIA_ADMIN_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Full Reindexing - Replace entire index (expensive)
  2. Full Record Updates - Replace individual records
  3. Partial Updates - Update specific attributes only

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 755bc35. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • algolia.com
    • npmjs.com
    • support.algolia.com

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

  • Credentials

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

    • NEXT_PUBLIC_ALGOLIA_SEARCH_KEY
    • ALGOLIA_ADMIN_KEY
    • ADMIN_KEY
    • ALGOLIA_SEARCH_KEY

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

Context cost

Algolia Search loads about 6.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,181 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6.6k

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.
