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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00094 | $0.00889 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00047 | $0.00445 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00178 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00089 |
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 8d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
web-search
Use browser automation to search the web through multiple engines, then fall back automatically when one engine is blocked, logged out, or returns poor results.
When to use
Activate this skill when the user wants:
- real-time web search
- search engine results instead of model memory
- Chinese web search or structured AI answers
- engine-specific search (Google / Bing / Brave / Perplexity / Metaso AI)
- fallback behavior across multiple search engines
Search engines
| Engine | URL pattern | Strength | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Perplexity | https://www.perplexity.ai/search?q={query} |
Highest answer quality | Needs login once |
| Metaso AI | https://metaso.cn/ |
Strong Chinese results | Home page interaction may be needed |
https://www.google.com/search?q={query} |
Best general web coverage | Stable fallback | |
| Bing | https://www.bing.com/search?q={query} |
Good Chinese + AI summary | Stable fallback |
| Brave | https://search.brave.com/search?q={query} |
Privacy-friendly | Good backup |
| DuckDuckGo | https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/?q={query} |
Lightweight privacy search | May show anomaly pages |
| Baidu | https://www.baidu.com/s?wd={query} |
Strong Chinese index | Use for Chinese web results |
| Sogou | https://www.sogou.com/web?query={query} |
Chinese / WeChat-heavy results | Secondary Chinese backup |
| Tavily | API-based | Agent-oriented | Requires API key |
Intent-based priority chains
Choose the search chain by user intent.
Deep research / comparison / trend analysis
Perplexity -> Metaso AI -> Bing -> Google -> Brave
Chinese search / Chinese summary / local context
Metaso AI -> Perplexity -> Baidu -> Bing -> Google
General web search / official site / original page lookup
Google -> Bing -> Brave -> DuckDuckGo
Privacy-first search
Brave -> DuckDuckGo -> Bing
Fallback rules
Immediately switch to the next engine when any of these happens:
- login expired
- captcha / verification / blocked / robot / abnormal traffic
- empty result page
- redirected back to the home page
- page structure is broken and no useful text can be extracted
- only input box is visible with no actual results
What ships with it
2 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.
- 8d ago First seen · 93 lines · 94 tokens per session scan A 5876d61f8b5a
web-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository OpenMinis/MinisSkills (400 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 889 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

opencli-sitemap-author
Use when creating or maintaining OpenCLI site sitemaps: agent-facing navigation, page-state, action, workflow, API-reference, pitfall, and fallback knowledge for a website. Use after browser exploration discovers durable site context, when a sitemap is stale, or when promoting local site knowledge into the repo.
debug-optimize-lcp
Guides debugging and optimizing Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) using Chrome DevTools MCP tools. Use this skill whenever the user asks about LCP performance, slow page loads, Core Web Vitals optimization, or wants to understand why their page's main content takes too long to appear. Also use when the user mentions…
