What it does

Local Web Search is an agent skill from uluckyXH/OpenMOSS. Use when the user asks for web search that should run via the local-160 Responses API with websearch tool (base URL like https://proxy.example.com, model gpt-5.2-codex(xhigh)). Includes script to query the local endpoint and return summary + citations; use for periodic news monitoring and on-demand searches.

Its SKILL.md is about 390 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/CONFIG.md` and `scripts/local_web_search.py`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search. It works with OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: A self-organizing multi-agent collaboration platform for OpenClaw. Multiple AI agents work as an autonomous team — planning, executing, reviewing, and patrolling tasks with zero… The licence is MIT.

Requirements

Workflow steps

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

Ensure env vars are set or Keychain entries are configured (see references/CONFIG.md).
Run the script

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 98f76b8. 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

Local Web Search loads about 392 tokens when it runs, and up to ~716 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 135 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~392
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~716

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.

Optional (explicit .env path):

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.

name: local-web-search
description: Use when the user asks for web search that should run via the local-160 Responses API with web_search tool (base URL like https://proxy.example.com, model gpt-5.2-codex(xhigh)). Includes script to query the local endpoint and return summary + citations; use for periodic news monitoring and on-demand searches.

Local Web Search (local-160)

Use the local Responses API with web_search to get web results and citations.

Quick start

Ensure env vars are set or Keychain entries are configured (see references/CONFIG.md).
Run the script:

bash

/usr/bin/python3 {baseDir}/scripts/local_web_search.py --query "<your query>" --mode live

Optional (explicit .env path):

bash

/usr/bin/python3 {baseDir}/scripts/local_web_search.py \
  --env-file ~/.openclaw/workspace/.env \
  --query "<your query>" \
  --mode cached

Timeout default is 1200s. Override via --timeout or LOCAL_160_TIMEOUT. Note: web_search responses can be slow; 5–10 minutes is common and up to ~20 minutes is possible. Don’t treat it as failure unless it exceeds your timeout.

Output handling

Default output: one-sentence summary + up to 5 citations.
Use --json when you need full tool output for parsing.
Use --mode live|cached|disabled to control external web access.

When to use

For web lookups when local-160 supports web_search.
For scheduled news monitoring that should use local-160 search.

Troubleshooting

401/403: key missing/invalid.
5xx: local gateway down or base URL wrong.

When should I use Local Web Search?

Local Web Search fits situations like: the user asks for web search that should run via the local-160 Responses API with websearch tool (base URL like https://proxy.example.com; model gpt-5.2-codex(xhigh)); periodic news monitoring and on-demand searches.

How do I install Local Web Search in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add uluckyXH/OpenMOSS --skill local-web-search -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/local-web-search in uluckyXH/OpenMOSS) into .claude/skills/local-web-search in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Local Web Search in Codex?

Run `npx skills add uluckyXH/OpenMOSS --skill local-web-search -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/local-web-search in uluckyXH/OpenMOSS) into .agents/skills/local-web-search in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Local Web Search in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add uluckyXH/OpenMOSS --skill local-web-search -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/local-web-search, .gemini/skills/local-web-search, .github/skills/local-web-search and .opencode/skills/local-web-search in your project.

What does Local Web Search need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Local Web Search needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Local Web Search access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Local Web Search safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Local Web Search use?

Local Web Search is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Local Web Search use?

About 392 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 324 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Local Web Search?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Local Web Search: Auto Research (sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, 47k stars), Search Reddit (sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills, 663 stars), Council Execution (hex/claude-council, 857 stars) and Scrapingbee CLI (ScrapingBee/scrapingbee-cli, 108 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
