ddg-search

Use the local skill script for lightweight DuckDuckGo search.

Quick rules

• Prefer your normal primary search tool when it is healthy.
• Use this skill when you need a fallback or a second source.
• Keep searches narrow and intentional.
• Prefer JSON output by default.
• Use --text only when human-readable terminal output is actually more useful.
• Use references/notes.md for quick guidance on when this tool fits.

Local setup

Prefer the skill-local script and cached virtualenv over any global CLI install. Treat the virtualenv under ~/.cache/ddg-search/venv as generated local state, not part of the skill itself. If the installer drops skill-local dotfiles, the bootstrap script recreates .gitignore automatically.
