When to use it

Web toolkit powered by Exa, tuned for scientific and technical content. Use this skill when the user needs to search the web or fetch/extract URL content. Covers: web search (semantic lookups, research, current info — with optional research-paper category and academic domain filtering) and URL extraction (fetching pages, articles, academic PDFs in batch). Use this skill for web-related tasks when the user wants high-quality search or scholarly filtering via category=research paper. Triggers on requests to search, look up, fetch a page, or extract an article.

Example requests

Ask your agent in plain language, for example:
  • “find recent papers on diffusion models for protein design”
  • “I’m writing the related-work section for my ICLR submission on sparse autoencoders for interpreting LLM activations. Find me peer-reviewed or arXiv sources from 2024 onward, and skip blog posts and news coverage. Show which search parameters you used.”
  • “Here are 12 links to PDFs and journal pages from our lab’s reading list. I need the full text of each pulled into one place so I can skim them for methods details.”

Install
