What This Skill Does
Headless web search and content extraction using the Brave Search API. Runs as a CLI tool without a browser, returning search results and full page content as plain text or JSON. Includes retry logic, circuit breaking, and bounded parallel fetching.
Combines search and content extraction in one tool with production-grade fault tolerance, avoiding the overhead of running a full browser like Playwright or Puppeteer.
When to use it
- Searching the web from an AI agent workflow
- Extracting readable content from a URL for summarization
- Piping search results into downstream scripts
- Looking up documentation pages without a browser
- Researching topics and collecting structured output
