High-precision semantic search and content retrieval via Exa API. Use when: (1) Deep research requiring semantic understanding, (2) Code documentation and examples lookup, (3) Company/professional research, (4) AI-powered comprehensive research tasks, (5) URL content extraction with structured output. Triggers: "research", "find papers", "code examples", "company info", "LinkedIn profiles", "deep analysis". Differentiator: Exa excels at semantic/neural search while grok-search is better for…
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.

How to install
mdr add dianel555/dskills/exa@sha256:b9d8e71309b4bfc2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260809.802b13f, 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.
