Search Tips

Category: Science & Research  ·  Sub-category: science-misc  ·  Last updated:
This skill should be used when performing web research beyond a simple single search -- looking into topics, comparing options, investigating questions, finding recommendations, or any task where effective use of Exa, Firecrawl, and Reddit tools matters. Triggers on "research", "look into", "investigate", "compare", "find out about", "search for", "find information", "what do people think about", "what are the best", "look up", or multi-source search tasks. Also invocable explicitly by deep-research team members via the Skill tool.

From the source SKILL.md

Accumulated guidance for web research using Exa, Firecrawl CLI, and Reddit MCP tools. These are starting points, not rigid rules -- think strategically about each situation and adapt. If a different approach makes more sense for what you're trying to do, go with it. Run npx firecrawl-cli <command> --help to check available options beyond what's documented here. Reference files cover tool-specific deep dives -- see bottom of this file.
