tavily-research SKILL.md skillA
tavily-research from initializ/forge is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add initializ/forge/tavily-research@git:20260304.0f19dd5Pins git:20260304.0f19dd5 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Deep multi-source research using Tavily Research API.
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
# Tavily Research Skill
Perform deep, multi-source research using the Tavily Research API. Unlike basic search, research produces comprehensive reports (1000-3000 words) synthesizing information from multiple sources. Research tasks typically take 30-300 seconds depending on complexity and model.
## Authentication
Set the `TAVILY_API_KEY` environment variable with your Tavily API key.
Get your key at https://tavily.com
No OAuth or MCP configuration required.
## Quick Start
```bash
# Submit research request
./scripts/tavily-research.sh '{"input": "impact of quantum computing on cryptography"}'
# Returns: {"status": "pending", "request_id": "..."}
# Poll for results
./scripts/tavily-research-poll.sh '{"request_id": "72d4a81c-..."}'
# Returns: {"status": "completed", "summary": "...", "report": "...", ...}
```
## Workflow
The research API is asynchronous. Use the two tools in sequence:
1. Call `tavily_research` with your query — returns immediately with a `request_id`
2. Inform the user that research is in progress and may take 30-300 seconds
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add initializ/forge/tavily-research@sha256:857ec831ea92ad9dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260304.0f19dd5, 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.
