tavily-search
Tavily Search
Headless web search and content extraction using Tavily. Built for LLM agents — returns clean, summarised results with optional raw article bodies. No browser required.
When to use
- You need up-to-date web information (news, docs, pricing, facts)
- You want cited sources with URLs for a research/writing task
- You need the full readable body of a URL as markdown
- Brave/Google search is not available or rate-limited
When NOT to use
- You already have the page in your context
- The answer is static and likely in the model's training data
- You need to interact with a page (login, click) — use a browser MCP instead

debug-hypothesis
Use when debugging any non-trivial bug — wrong output, crash, flaky test, performance regression, or "it works locally but not in CI." Forces a scientific-method loop (Observe → Hypothesize → Experiment → Conclude) so the agent stops guessing and starts reasoning. Prevents the #1 AI debugging failure mode — bulldozing through a wrong idea instead of falsifying it.
25nano-banana
Generate or edit images with Google's Nano Banana 2 (`gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview`). Use when the user asks to generate an image, edit an image, or create a picture. Supports 512 / 1K / 2K / 4K resolutions.
3spec-driven-dev
Use when starting any non-trivial feature, refactor, or new project that will touch more than one file. Drives an AI coding agent through a gated Spec → Plan → Build → Test → Review → Ship lifecycle so work is specified before it is built, verified before it is reviewed, and reviewed before it ships.
2wiki-aggregate
Use when you have N≥3 raw research artifacts (notes, podcast summaries, deep-research dumps, daily intel, paper analyses) on one topic and want to lift them into a single structured pack with cross-source claims and provenance — instead of one-shot summarization that loses 90% of intermediate evidence. Treats the N sources as an environment a lite aggregator agent navigates with `inspect` / `search` / `synthesize` tools, rather than concatenating into one prompt.
