algolia-search

algolia-search is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pinkpixel-dev/skills-collection-1. It costs 41 tokens per session (475 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of algolia-search, Apache-2.0.

A collection of implementation patterns for Algolia, a hosted search service that indexes your data and returns relevant results quickly. It covers React search interfaces, Next.js server-rendered search, filtering, pagination, and keeping the index up to date.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps add type-ahead search, filters, result pages, and server-rendered search to React or Next.js applications, while updating Algolia when source data changes.
Why use it?
It helps avoid building search behavior and data synchronization from scratch. It also addresses common issues with fresh results, URL state, filtering, and large index updates.

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

algolia-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 9d 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

Algolia Search Integration

Patterns

React InstantSearch with Hooks

Modern React InstantSearch setup using hooks for type-ahead search.

Uses react-instantsearch-hooks-web package with algoliasearch client. Widgets are components that can be customized with classnames.

Key hooks:

  • useSearchBox: Search input handling
  • useHits: Access search results
  • useRefinementList: Facet filtering
  • usePagination: Result pagination
  • useInstantSearch: Full state access

Next.js Server-Side Rendering

SSR integration for Next.js with react-instantsearch-nextjs package.

Use instead of for SSR. Supports both Pages Router and App Router (experimental).

Key considerations:

  • Set dynamic = 'force-dynamic' for fresh results
  • Handle URL synchronization with routing prop
  • Use getServerState for initial state

Data Synchronization and Indexing

Indexing strategies for keeping Algolia in sync with your data.

Three main approaches:

  1. Full Reindexing - Replace entire index (expensive)
  2. Full Record Updates - Replace individual records
  3. Partial Updates - Update specific attributes only

Best practices:

  • Batch records (ideal: 10MB, 1K-10K records per batch)
  • Use incremental updates when possible
  • partialUpdateObjects for attribute-only changes
  • Avoid deleteBy (computationally expensive)

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.
