Skill948 starsChanged 14 days agoMITView on GitHub

Search the web with LLM-optimized results via the Tavily CLI. Use this skill when the user wants to search the web, find articles, look up information, get recent news, discover sources, or says "search for", "find me", "look up", "what's the latest on", "find articles about", or needs current information from the internet. Returns relevant results with content snippets, relevance scores, and metadata — optimized for LLM consumption. Supports domain filtering, time ranges, and multiple search depths.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 15 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    If tvly is not found on PATH, install it first:

    line 14
  2. Distinctive:

    Do not skip this step or fall back to other tools.

    line 20
  3. Very specific:

    Use --include-raw-content: when you need full page text (saves a separate extract call).

    line 83
  4. Very specific:

    Read from stdin: echo "query" | tvly search - --json

    line 86

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 15 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

tavily search

Web search returning LLM-optimized results with content snippets and relevance scores.

Before running any command

If tvly is not found on PATH, install it first:

curl -fsSL https://cli.tavily.com/install.sh | bash && tvly login

Do not skip this step or fall back to other tools.

See tavily-cli for alternative install methods and auth options.

When to use

  • You need to find information on any topic
  • You don't have a specific URL yet
  • First step in the workflow: search → extract → map → crawl → research

Quick start

# Basic search
tvly search "your query" --json

# Advanced search with more results
tvly search "quantum computing" --depth advanced --max-results 10 --json

# Recent news
tvly search "AI news" --time-range week --topic news --json

# Domain-filtered
tvly search "SEC filings" --include-domains sec.gov,reuters.com --json

# Include full page content in results
tvly search "react hooks tutorial" --include-raw-content --max-results 3 --json

Options

Tips

  • Keep queries under 400 characters — think search query, not prompt.
  • Break complex queries into sub-queries for better results.
  • Use --include-raw-content when you need full page text (saves a separate extract call).
  • Use --include-domains to focus on trusted sources.
  • Use --time-range for recent information.
  • Read from stdin: echo "query" | tvly search - --json
