Plug-in web search, X (Twitter) search, and page fetch for models without native web access. Use whenever the task needs current information, external facts, source links, posts from X, or the content of a specific URL, and the active model/harness has no native search or fetch tool. Runs the modsearch CLI to return structured JSON evidence. Also use when the user asks how to install or configure modsearch, or wants to switch engines or add a key.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# ModSearch — Search & Fetch Bridge Skill Use this skill when: - The user asks about anything after your knowledge cutoff (releases, news, prices, versions) - The answer needs source links or verifiable external facts - The user asks what people are saying on X or Twitter (推特, 推文, tweets, threads) - The user gives a URL to read and the harness has no fetch tool - The user asks how to configure modsearch, add a key, or change engines Do not use this skill for: - Analyzing images (that is `modlens`) - Questions your own knowledge answers reliably and time does not affect - Searching inside DeepSeek Harness (dsh, `DSH_SHELL=1`): there modsearch runs as a plugin behind the native `web_search`. If dsh still answers from its default provider, the plugin is missing: point the user to Step 0 of INSTALL.md ## Prerequisites Run every modsearch command through the launcher bundled with this skill. Replace `<skill-dir>` with the directory this SKILL.md lives in: ```bash bash <skill-dir>/scripts/run.sh -q "test" # macOS / Linux powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File <skill-dir>\scripts\run.ps1 -q "test" # Windows ``` …

How to install
mdr add liustack/modsearch/modsearch@sha256:82193b37ea549b99The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.d5582ce, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
