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.

Security Scan

The skill's requirements and instructions are coherent with its stated purpose (performing web searches via DuckDuckGo); it asks for no secrets and only recommends installing the public duckduckgo-search Python package.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description match the runtime instructions: examples use the duckduckgo-search (DDGS) Python library to perform text, news, image, video, maps, suggestions, and instant-answer searches. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths are requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md contains concrete python -c examples that call DDGS API methods and some example scripts to save results. Instructions stay within web-search functionality and do not direct the agent to read unrelated system files or environment variables.

Install Mechanism

The registry has no formal install spec, but SKILL.md recommends installing the public PyPI package duckduckgo-search (pip install duckduckgo-search). Installing a PyPI package is a normal step for this skill, but pip installs execute code on disk (moderate risk compared to instruction-only).

Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are required. The skill does not request unrelated secrets or elevated access.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill is user-invocable. It does not request persistent system-wide changes or modification of other skills' configs. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default but not excessive here.

Assessment

This skill appears to do what it claims: run DuckDuckGo searches using the duckduckgo-search Python library. Before installing or enabling it: (1) verify the PyPI package name and inspect its project page / source (typosquatting is possible); (2) prefer pinning a known good version (e.g., pip install duckduckgo-search==<version>); (3) avoid running pip as root in sensitive environments; (4) be aware that queries and returned URLs are sent/received over the network (DuckDuckGo is privacy-focused but your queries still leave the host); (5) if you are uncomfortable with the agent autonomously invoking network searches, restrict autonomous invocation or require user confirmation. If you want extra assurance, request the skill owner to provide an explicit install spec (trusted source or checksum) or a code review of the package before installation.

import json

def web_search(query, search_type='text', max_results=5, region='wt-wt', timelimit=None):
    '''
    执行 DuckDuckGo 搜索
    
    参数:

        else:
            results = []
    
    return results

# 使用示例
query = 'Python 3.12 new features'
results = web_search(query, search_type='text', max_results=5)

print(f'🔍 搜索: {query}')
print(f'📊 找到 {len(results)} 个结果')
print()

for i, r in enumerate(results, 1):
    print(f\"{i}. {r['title']}\")
    print(f\"   {r['href']}\")
    print(f\"   {r['body'][:150]}...\")
    print()
"

搜索并保存结果

python -c "
from duckduckgo_search import DDGS
import json
from datetime import datetime

query = 'latest tech news'
output_file = f'search_results_{datetime.now().strftime(\"%Y%m%d_%H%M%S\")}.json'

with DDGS() as ddgs:
    results = list(ddgs.text(query, max_results=10))

# 保存到 JSON 文件
with open(output_file, 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    json.dump({
        'query': query,
        'timestamp': datetime.now().isoformat(),
        'results': results
    }, f, ensure_ascii=False, indent=2)

print(f'✅ 搜索结果已保存到: {output_file}')
print(f'📊 共 {len(results)} 条结果')
"

多关键词批量搜索

python -c "
from duckduckgo_search import DDGS
import time

queries = [
    'Python best practices 2024',
    'React vs Vue 2024',
    'AI development tools'
]

all_results = {}

with DDGS() as ddgs:
    for query in queries:
        print(f'🔍 搜索: {query}')
        results = list(ddgs.text(query, max_results=3))
        all_results[query] = results
        print(f'   找到 {len(results)} 个结果')
        time.sleep(1)  # 避免请求过快

print()
print('=' * 50)
print('📊 搜索汇总')
print('=' * 50)

for query, results in all_results.items():
    print(f'\n🔎 {query}:')
    for i, r in enumerate(results, 1):
        print(f\"   {i}. {r['title'][:60]}...\")

except DuckDuckGoSearchException as e:
    print(f'❌ 搜索出错: {e}')
except Exception as e:
    print(f'❌ 未知错误: {e}')
"

使用代理

如果需要使用代理：

python -c "
from duckduckgo_search import DDGS

# 设置代理
proxy = 'http://127.0.0.1:7890'  # 替换为你的代理地址

with DDGS(proxy=proxy) as ddgs:
    results = list(ddgs.text('test query', max_results=5))
    print(f'通过代理搜索成功，找到 {len(results)} 个结果')
"

常见问题

安装失败？

# 确保 pip 是最新版本
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install duckduckgo-search

# 或使用 uv
uv pip install duckduckgo-search

搜索无结果？

# 检查网络连接
# 尝试使用代理
# 减少搜索关键词复杂度
# 检查地区设置是否正确

请求被限制？

# 在多次搜索之间添加延迟
import time
time.sleep(1)  # 等待 1 秒

# 减少单次请求的结果数量
max_results=5  # 而不是 50

与其他工具集成

结合 browser-use 获取详细内容

# 1. 先用 DuckDuckGo 搜索
python -c "
from duckduckgo_search import DDGS

with DDGS() as ddgs:
    results = list(ddgs.text('Python async tutorial', max_results=1))
    if results:
        url = results[0]['href']
        print(f'URL: {url}')
"

# 2. 用 browser-use 打开并获取详细内容
browser-use open <url_from_search>
browser-use state

注意事项

⚠️ 使用建议：

1. 遵守使用频率限制：避免短时间内大量请求
2. 合理设置结果数量：不要一次请求过多结果
3. 添加适当延迟：批量搜索时在请求之间添加 time.sleep()
4. 处理异常情况：始终添加错误处理代码
5. 尊重版权：搜索结果仅供参考，注意内容版权
