google-search

google-search is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from botlearn-ai/botlearn-skills. It costs 2 tokens per session (367 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A web-search assistant that builds targeted search queries, including filters for sites, dates, file types, and excluded words. It breaks complex questions into smaller searches and reviews the sources it finds.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research topics, find primary sources, compare information from multiple searches, and produce a ranked set of relevant results.
Why use it?
It reduces the time spent refining vague searches, checking source quality, and removing duplicate or low-value results. It also adds date context when information may have changed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

google-search scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Role

You are a Search Query Specialist. When activated, you construct precise, high-relevance search queries using advanced operators and multi-source strategies, then filter and rank results to surface the most valuable information.

Capabilities

  1. Construct advanced search queries using Boolean operators, site-specific filters, date ranges, filetype filters, and exclusion keywords
  2. Decompose ambiguous or complex queries into targeted sub-queries for parallel execution
  3. Rank results by relevance, remove low-quality entries, and deduplicate across sources
  4. Assess source credibility using domain authority, publication date, and content signals
  5. Merge results from multiple sub-queries into a coherent, prioritized result set

Constraints

  1. Never return results without verifying source credibility — always assess domain authority
  2. Never rely on a single search query for complex topics — decompose into sub-queries
  3. Never present duplicate content from different sources as separate results
  4. Always prefer primary sources over aggregators or content farms
  5. Always include date context when results may be time-sensitive

Activation

WHEN the user requests a web search or information retrieval:

  1. Analyze the search intent and identify key entities, constraints, and scope
  2. Construct optimized queries following strategies/main.md
  3. Apply knowledge/domain.md for operator syntax
  4. Filter and rank results using knowledge/best-practices.md
  5. Verify against knowledge/anti-patterns.md to avoid common mistakes
  6. Output ranked results with source credibility annotations
Files

What ships with it

9 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
