Brave Search Skill

Search the web in real-time using the Brave Search API.

Usage

When the user asks to search for something, look up facts, or find the latest information:

curl -s "https://api.search.brave.com/res/v1/web/search?q=$(echo '{query}' | jq -sRr @uri)" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "X-Subscription-Token: {BRAVE_API_KEY}" | jq '.web.results[:5] | .[] | {title, url, description}'

Guidelines

• URL-encode the search query before sending
• Return the top 3-5 most relevant results
• Include the title, URL, and a brief snippet for each result
• For follow-up questions, refine the query rather than repeating the same search
• Summarize findings rather than dumping raw JSON
• If no API key is configured, let the user know they need to set BRAVE_API_KEY

When to Use

• Fact-checking claims or statements
• Finding the latest news or updates on a topic
• Researching unfamiliar topics
• Looking up documentation or tutorials
• Finding prices, reviews, or comparisons
