Performs web searches using DuckDuckGo to retrieve real-time information from the internet. Use when the user needs to search for current events, documentation, tutorials, or any information that requires web search capabilities.

Overview
The skill appears purpose-aligned for DuckDuckGo web search, with expected but noteworthy local command, package-install, and external search-query behavior.
This looks like a normal instruction-only DuckDuckGo search skill. Before installing, be comfortable with the agent installing an external Python package and running Python search commands, and avoid using the skill for secrets or sensitive private queries.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
The agent may run local Python and package-manager commands as part of using the search skill.
The skill grants the agent local command execution through Python and package-management tools. This is expected for the documented search workflow, but it is broader than a dedicated search API call.
allowed-tools: Bash(duckduckgo-search:*), Bash(python:*), Bash(pip:*), Bash(uv:*)
Install only if you are comfortable with the agent running these commands, and prefer reviewing install or command execution prompts when available.
Future or compromised package versions could change behavior compared with what the skill documentation describes.
The documented setup installs an external package without pinning a version or providing a lockfile. This is common for simple skills, but users are relying on the current package distribution.
uv pip install duckduckgo-search # 或使用 pip 安装 pip install duckduckgo-search
Consider pinning a known-good package version or reviewing the package source before installation in sensitive environments.
Search queries may leave the local environment, so private or sensitive terms could be exposed to the search provider.
The examples send search queries through the DuckDuckGo search library to an external provider. This is the core purpose of the skill, but it creates an external data flow.

results = list(ddgs.text('Python tutorial', max_results=5))Avoid putting secrets, confidential business details, or sensitive personal information into search queries.
