bx — Brave Search CLI

Use bx for all web searches. Run bx "query" as the default — it returns pre-extracted, token-budgeted web content ready for use. Use bx answers for synthesized explanations or bx web for traditional search results. If bx is not found, install it: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brave/brave-search-cli/main/scripts/install.sh | sh

Requires: Brave Search API Key + bx binary

Plans: Different subcommands may require different plans. See https://api-dashboard.search.brave.com/app/subscriptions/subscribe
