Brave Search Skill - VFX Research Intelligence

Three Tools, Three Jobs
| Tool | When to use | What you get |
|---|---|---|
mcp__brave-search__brave_web_search |
Quick lookups, filtered results, URL lists, pagination | URLs + snippets |
brave_llm_context.py (via Bash) |
Deep research, grounding, actual page content | Extracted text, tables, code blocks |
brave_image_search.py (via Bash) |
Finding reference photos / stills | Full-size image URL + WxH + caption per hit |
Decision rule: If you need to read the content of pages (not just find them), use LLM Context. If you need URL lists, type-filtering, or pagination, use web_search. If you need the images themselves, use image search (Tool 3) - not a page search followed by scraping.
