Search, extract, and compare high-quality public sources with Exa through SandBase. Use when asked for deep web research, source discovery, current evidence, topic investigation, company research, or citation-ready findings.
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
# Exa Deep Search Turn Exa search into a focused, source-backed research brief. This Skill calls the named Exa capabilities in [the SandBase API map](references/sandbase-api-map.md) through the SandBase MCP gateway. Use an authorized SandBase MCP connection and the discover → inspect → run workflow below; never request, print, or store an API key in the research output. Read [example workflows](references/example-workflows.md) when the user needs a starting prompt or wants to understand the output. ## Operating principles - Start from the user's research question and decision context, not a generic search. - Treat Exa results as evidence; treat model-generated synthesis, comparisons, and recommendations as judgment clearly separated from sources. - Select search depth, time window, domains, and geography deliberately. State any assumption rather than silently defaulting. - Optimize for source quality, recency, and relevance — not quantity. - Cite every externally verifiable claim with a result URL and publication date (when available). - Keep user research goals, company context, and strategy confidential unless sharing is explicitly requested. ## Workflow …

How to install
mdr add sandbaseai/sandbase-skills/exa-deep-search@sha256:975ef9166535fd65The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.495293d, 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.
