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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/search.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to web-search — 129 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 520 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

Search the web using DuckDuckGo's API to find information across web pages, news articles, images, and videos. Returns results in multiple formats (text, markdown, JSON) with filtering options for time range, region, and safe search.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when users request:

  • Web searches for information or resources
  • Finding current or recent information online
  • Looking up news articles about specific topics
  • Searching for images by description or topic
  • Finding videos on specific subjects
  • Research requiring current web data
  • Fact-checking or verification using web sources
  • Gathering URLs and resources on a topic

Prerequisites

Install the required dependency:

pip install duckduckgo-search

This library provides a simple Python interface to DuckDuckGo's search API without requiring API keys or authentication.

Core Capabilities

1. Basic Web Search

Search for web pages and information:

python scripts/search.py "<query>"

Example:

python scripts/search.py "python asyncio tutorial"

Returns the top 10 web results with titles, URLs, and descriptions in a clean text format.

2. Limiting Results

Control the number of results returned:

python scripts/search.py "<query>" --max-results <N>

Example:

python scripts/search.py "machine learning frameworks" --max-results 20

Useful for:

  • Getting more comprehensive results (increase limit)
  • Quick lookups with fewer results (decrease limit)
  • Balancing detail vs. processing time

3. Time Range Filtering

Filter results by recency:

python scripts/search.py "<query>" --time-range <d|w|m|y>

Time range options:

  • d - Past day
  • w - Past week
  • m - Past month
  • y - Past year

Example:

python scripts/search.py "artificial intelligence news" --time-range w

Great for:

  • Finding recent news or updates
  • Filtering out outdated content
  • Tracking recent developments

What ships with it

3 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.
