How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 14
Run exactly one command:
- Very specific: line 20
If SERPAPI_KEY is empty in this shell, read it directly from fish universal variables (avoids shell greeting pollution): ` printf '%b' …
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Parse $ARGUMENTS into flags for the bundled script and run it in one Bash call. The script handles search, download, filename generation, and Typst code output.
Flags: query (positional), --logo, --stock, --url <url>, -d dir, -o output, -n count, --size, --type, --width, --caption "..."
Pass --typst when generating images for Typst documents (the typical case). If --output/-o is not given, omit it (script auto-generates from query + dir).
Run exactly one command:
SERPAPI_KEY="$SERPAPI_KEY" uv run --script ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/image_search.py "<query>" --typst [other flags...]If SERPAPI_KEY is empty in this shell, read it directly from fish universal variables (avoids shell greeting pollution): `printf '%b' "$(sed -n 's/.*SERPAPI_KEY://p' ~/.config/fish/fish_variables)"`.
For --stock mode, also forward Unsplash/Pexels keys if available:
SERPAPI_KEY="$SERPAPI_KEY" UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEY="$UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEY" PEXELS_API_KEY="$PEXELS_API_KEY" uv run --script ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/image_search.py "<query>" --stock --typst [other flags...]Print the script's stdout to the user. Done.
Modes
| Mode | Flag | Behavior |
| Image search (default) | none | SerpAPI -> DuckDuckGo fallback -> download best match |
| Logo lookup | --logo | Logo.dev -> image search fallback |
| Stock photos | --stock | Unsplash -> Pexels -> image search fallback (license-clear) |
| Direct URL | --url <url> | Download image directly from URL |
Environment
Zero API keys required — works via DuckDuckGo by default. Each key unlocks a better tier:
| Key | Purpose |
SERPAPI_KEY | Google Images (best quality) |
UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEY | Stock photos via Unsplash |
PEXELS_API_KEY | Stock photos via Pexels |
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
