Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00070 | $0.02683 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00035 | $0.01341 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00537 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00268 |
Grade C, and why
web-search-plus scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 today.
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.

Web Search Plus
Stop choosing search providers. Let the skill do it for you.
This skill connects you to 6 search providers (Serper, Tavily, Exa, Perplexity, You.com, SearXNG) and automatically picks the best one for each query. Shopping question? → Google results. Research question? → Deep research engine. Need a direct answer? → AI-synthesized with citations. Want privacy? → Self-hosted option.
✨ What Makes This Different?
- Just search — No need to think about which provider to use
- Smart routing — Analyzes your query and picks the best provider automatically
- 6 providers, 1 interface — Google results, research engines, neural search, AI answers with citations, RAG-optimized, and privacy-first all in one
- Works with just 1 key — Start with any single provider, add more later
- Free options available — SearXNG is completely free (self-hosted)
🚀 Quick Start
# Interactive setup (recommended for first run)
python3 scripts/setup.py
# Or manual: copy config and add your keys
cp config.example.json config.json
The wizard explains each provider, collects API keys, and configures defaults.
🔑 API Keys
You only need ONE key to get started. Add more providers later for better coverage.

| Tavily | 1,000/mo | Research, explanations, academic | tavily.com |
| Exa | 1,000/mo | "Similar to X", startups, papers | exa.ai |
| Perplexity | Via Kilo | Direct answers with citations | kilo.ai |

Setting your keys:
# Option A: .env file (recommended)
export SERPER_API_KEY="your-key"
export TAVILY_API_KEY="your-key"
# Option B: config.json
{ "serper": { "api_key": "your-key" } }
What ships with it
11 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.
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.
