exa-search skill

Use this skill to search the web, find similar pages, or fetch page contents via the Exa AI search engine — fast, neural, and certificate-aware.

The skill invokes a native Rust binary (bin/exa-search) via Bash. Run install.sh once to build it.


When to Use / When NOT to Use

USE when:

  • Searching the web for articles, documentation, repos, papers, tools, people, companies
  • Finding recent news or announcements (use livecrawl: "fallback" or "always" for recency)
  • Fetching full text of a known URL without browser automation
  • Finding pages similar to a reference URL (competitor analysis, alternative tools)
  • Any web lookup that isn't a specific tweet or video

NOT FOR:

  • Fetching tweets/X posts → use fxtwitter skill (Exa can't fetch tweet URLs)
