Bash skill — run `web-search "query"` in your shell (not an MCP tool). Search the web; returns text, image, news, or video results. Use when the user wants to search or look something up.
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
# Web Search ```bash web-search "your query" ``` That's the whole command. No flags, no pipes, no `export PATH=`. Works out of the box — public SearXNG, no credentials. ## Keep it simple The default is the right call ~90% of the time. Don't add flags you don't need. | ✗ Don't | ✓ Do | |---------|------| | `export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"; web-search "q" --max 6 2>&1 \| head -60` | `web-search "q"` | | `web-search "q" --max 10 --page 1 --region wt-wt` | `web-search "q"` | | `web-search "q" --json \| head` | `web-search "q"` | - **Output is already concise** (10 results, markdown). No `head`, no `2>&1`. - **Need the full page, not just the snippet?** `fetch-url "<url>"` — the two are a combo: search finds, fetch-url reads. - **`web-search: command not found`?** Run `./install.sh` once (creates `~/.local/bin/web-search`, which is on PATH). Then always call `web-search "q"` — never the full path, never `export PATH=`. - **Want fewer/more results?** `--max 5` / `--max 20` — but the default 10 is usually right. - **Want images/news/video?** `--categories images` / `--categories news`. ## Install This skill ships in the **skale-skills** pi package — install the repo once: …

How to install
mdr add devskale/skale-skills/web-search@sha256:63f6692946701e24The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.5.1, 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.
