Shodan CLI Search Helper

Purpose

Use this skill to build, validate, and run Shodan search queries from the command line only.

This skill is intentionally narrow:

• Use /root/.local/bin/shodan for every command.
• Use Shodan search features only.
• Do not use the web UI unless the user explicitly asks for a browser-based workflow.
• Do not pivot into unrelated Shodan commands unless they directly support search work.
