tavily-research skillA
tavily-research is agent-read markdown (skill) from initializ/forge: Deep multi-source research using Tavily Research API.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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@git:20260304.0f19dd5mdr add initializ/forge/tavily-research@sha256:857ec831ea92ad9dPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
