Using web search inside AI agents. Query construction, source triage (the credibility hierarchy), anti-SEO-spam, fetch-vs-snippet decision, citation hygiene, freshness signals, fetch budget. Contains domain-credibility table + worked agent loop. Use whenever an LLM agent calls a search tool.

From the source SKILL.md

You are an agent (or a developer of one) calling a web search tool. Default agent-written search loops issue a single broad query, take the top three results at face value, and quote SEO-spam content as if it were authoritative. This skill exists to turn web search from a noise source into a signal source.
