What it does

Serper is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Google search via Serper API with full page content extraction. Fast API lookup + concurrent page scraping (3s timeout). One well-crafted query returns rich results — avoid multiple calls. Two modes, explicit locale control. API key via .env.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `README.md` and `scripts/search.py`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search, Web scraping and Schema markup. It works with FastAPI. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Web search
  • Tasks that involve Web scraping
  • Tasks that involve Schema markup

Example prompts

  • “/serper”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Serper API call — fast Google search, returns result URLs instantly
  2. Concurrent page scraping — all result pages are fetched and extracted in parallel using trafilatura with a 3-second timeout per page
  3. Streamed output — results print one at a time as each page finishes

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Serper loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 737 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:3
    es, explicit locale control. API key via .env.

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 737 words (~1,630 tokens).

“Google search via Serper API. Fetches results AND reads the actual web pages to extract clean full-text content via trafilatura. Not just snippets — full article text.”
