Web information retrieval expert. ALWAYS invoke this skill when the user needs to search the web, fetch a URL, or access real-time information beyond training data. Do not guess or use stale knowledge — use this skill first.
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.

Two tools for web information retrieval, called via bash.

|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `query` | string | yes | Search query |
| `limit` | integer | no | Max results (default 10) |
## web_fetch
Fetch a web page and return its content in readable format.
```bash
tai tool web_fetch '{"url": "https://example.com", "format": "markdown"}'
```

|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `url` | string | yes | Fully-formed URL to fetch |
| `format` | string | no | `markdown` (default) or `html` |

How to install
mdr add yaoapp/yao/yao-web@sha256:2bd13930b4192e4dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260503.194faac, 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.
