What it does
Ddg Search is an agent skill from TheSyart/claude-agent-examples. Web search without an API key using DuckDuckGo Lite via webfetch. Use as a fallback when websearch fails with missingbraveapikey error, or whenever you need to search the web and no search API is configured. Provides titles, URLs, and snippets for research queries. Zero dependencies — works with just the built-in webfetch tool.
Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `_meta.json`).
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search. The repository describes itself as: Claude Agent examples - from simple to complex.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Web search
Example prompts
- “/ddg-search”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Search — query DDG Lite for a list of results
- Pick — identify the most relevant URLs
- Fetch — use web_fetch on those URLs to read full content
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 54a1898. 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
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
lite.duckduckgo.com
Also links to:
duckduckgo.com
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
Ddg Search loads about 493 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 183 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 183 words (~493 tokens).
“Search the web using DuckDuckGo Lite's HTML interface, parsed via web_fetch. No API key or package install required.”
