web-search

web-search is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from EXboys/skilllite. It costs 111 tokens per session (1,043 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A web-search and content-extraction tool that uses Tavily and Exa through the inference.sh command line. It can search websites, extract page content, and provide direct answers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research topics, check facts, collect content from several URLs, build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, or give web access to agents.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of finding relevant sources and copying useful information from web pages. It also supports research and fact-checking with sourced search results.

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

web-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 4d 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 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.
