Bx Search
Skill Verified ActiveWeb search using the Brave Search CLI (`bx`). Use for ALL web search requests — including "search for", "look up", "find", "what is", "how do I", "google this", and any request needing current or external information. Prefer this over the built-in web_search tool whenever bx is available. Also use for: documentation lookup, troubleshooting research, RAG grounding, news, images, videos, local places, and AI-synthesized answers.
To provide a robust, token-efficient, and AI-agent-friendly interface for performing web searches and retrieving information using the Brave Search CLI.
Features
- Web search via Brave Search CLI (`bx`)
- Token-budgeted content for LLM grounding (`context` command)
- AI-synthesized answers with citations (`answers` command)
- Advanced search operators and result filtering (`web` command)
- Customizable search result ranking with Goggles
Use Cases
- Grounding LLM responses with up-to-date web information
- Performing complex research and troubleshooting
- Looking up documentation and technical information
- Replacing inefficient search-scrape-extract pipelines
Non-Goals
- Replacing the built-in `web_search` tool when `bx` is available
- Performing actions beyond web searching and information retrieval
- Requiring complex runtime dependencies
Installation
npx skills add brave/brave-search-skillsRuns the Vercel skills CLI (skills.sh) via npx — needs Node.js locally and at least one installed skills-compatible agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, …). Assumes the repo follows the agentskills.io format.

Product Self Knowledge
100Stop and consult this skill whenever your response would include specific facts about Anthropic's products. Covers: Claude Code (how to install, Node.js requirements, platform/OS support, MCP server integration, configuration), Claude API (function calling/tool use, batch processing, SDK usage, rate limits, pricing, models, streaming), and Claude.ai (Pro vs Team vs Enterprise plans, feature limits). Trigger this even for coding tasks that use the Anthropic SDK, content creation mentioning Claude capabilities or pricing, or LLM provider comparisons. Any time you would otherwise rely on memory for Anthropic product details, verify here instead — your training data may be outdated or wrong.
