Web Search Brave

jwynia/agent-skills

This wraps Brave's Search API with localization and freshness filtering, which matters when you need privacy-focused results or want to target specific countries and languages. You get up to 20 results with descriptions and optional extra snippets, plus time filters like past day or past week for breaking news searches. Honestly, the main reason to use this over the built-in web search is if you already have a Brave API key and need those country/language controls. Otherwise, the free built-in option or Tavily's AI-optimized results (which include relevance scores and summaries) are probably better choices. Requires BRAVE_API_KEY and runs through Deno.

Web Search (Brave Search API)

Search the web using Brave's Search API. Returns web results with descriptions, optional extra snippets, and support for country/language targeting.

Note: This skill requires a Brave Search API key. For basic web search using the agent's built-in capability, see web-search. For AI-optimized results with relevance scores, see web-search-tavily.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • You need to find current information not in your training data
  • The user asks about recent events, news, or updates
  • You need localized search results for a specific country or language
  • You want a privacy-respecting search alternative
  • Research requires real-time web data
  • Keywords mentioned: search, look up, find online, current, latest, news

Do NOT use this skill when:

  • Information is already in your knowledge base and doesn't need verification
  • The user asks about historical facts that don't change
  • You're working with local files or code (use other tools)
  • A more specific skill exists for the task (e.g., documentation lookup)
  • You need AI-generated answer summaries (use web-search-tavily instead)
