Token-Efficient Search

Inspired by Anthropic's dynamic filtering—always filter before reasoning. ~24% fewer tokens, ~11% better accuracy.

The Principle: Search Cheaply → Filter → Extract Selectively → Reason

DO:

# Step 1: Search with --no-text (titles/URLs only — cheapest)
python3 ~/.claude/skills/exa-search/scripts/exa_search.py "query" -n 20 --no-text

# Step 2: Evaluate titles, pick best 3-5 URLs
