✓

Purpose & Capability

Name/description match the implementation: the code scrapes search engines, supports engine selection/auto-failover, caching, delays and proxy options. There are no extraneous credential or system access requests that don't belong to a web-search tool.

✓

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md and code consistently instruct the agent to run the provided CLI script and document its flags. Instructions and code operate on network requests and a local cache directory (~/.cache/web-search-local) only; they do not attempt to read unrelated system files or external secrets.

ℹ

Install Mechanism

There is no declared install spec in the registry (instruction-only), but the README and docs state runtime dependencies (requests, beautifulsoup4). That mismatch (no automated install step) is not malicious but worth noting: the agent or user must install dependencies manually.

✓

Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables, no credentials, and only writes to its own cache directory in the user's home. Proxy configuration is supported via CLI/API functions; that is appropriate for a network client. No unrelated secrets (AWS keys, tokens) are required.

✓

Persistence & Privilege

Skill does not request persistent 'always' inclusion, does not modify other skills, and only stores its own cache files under ~/.cache/web-search-local. It does not alter system-wide agent configuration or other skill settings.

Assessment

This skill appears coherent for local web scraping search. Before installing: (1) be aware it performs live HTTP(S) requests to public search engines (Bing, DDG, Yandex) and may trigger CAPTCHAs or be blocked in some networks; (2) it stores cached search results under ~/.cache/web-search-local (inspect or clear with --cache-clear if you care about local storage); (3) install the documented Python dependencies (requests, beautifulsoup4) manually or in a virtualenv; (4) verbose/debug logs may include queries and timing info—avoid using with sensitive queries if you don't want them logged; (5) if you require stronger isolation, run the script in a sandboxed container or VM. If you want greater assurance, review the full scripts/search.py file for any additional network calls or behavior not covered in the docs (the provided file looks consistent with the documented functionality).

Like a lobster shell, security has layers — review code before you run it.

"帮我找/帮我搜 + 信息" (Help me find/search + information)
Need to get real-time web information
"最近/最新 + 某话题" (Recent/Latest + topic)
"查资料/网上查" (Look up materials/Search online)

Usage

Basic Search

python3 scripts/search.py -q "keywords"

Specify Engine

python3 scripts/search.py -q "keywords" -e bing      # Bing (default)
python3 scripts/search.py -q "keywords" -e auto       # Auto failover
python3 scripts/search.py -q "keywords" -e webfetch  # urllib fallback

Common Options

python3 scripts/search.py -q "keywords" -l 5          # Limit result count
python3 scripts/search.py -q "keywords" --fast       # Fast mode, skip cookies
python3 scripts/search.py -q "keywords" --no-cache   # Skip cache
python3 scripts/search.py -q "keywords" -f text      # Text format output
python3 scripts/search.py -q "keywords" -o file.json  # Output to file
python3 scripts/search.py -q "keywords" -v            # Verbose logging

Engine Selection

Engine	Description
`bing`	Default primary, supports RSS and HTML dual mode
`auto`	Auto failover, Bing → Yandex → DDG → WebFetch
`webfetch`	urllib standard library, no requests package needed

Default is bing, use auto on failure.

Cache Mechanism

Location: ~/.cache/web-search-local/
Expiration: 1 hour
Cache hit returns in sub-second

Cache Management

python3 scripts/search.py --cache-stats   # View cache statistics
python3 scripts/search.py --cache-clear   # Clear cache

Output Format

  "query": "search keywords",
  "engine": "bing",
  "count": 3,
  "results": [
    {"title": "page title", "url": "https://...", "snippet": "summary description"}
  ],
