1Web Searchweb-search is a Brave Search API integration skill that teaches agents how to call the primary web search endpoint with correct auth, headers, and query parameters. Solo builders use it when an agent must fetch current ranked pages—framework comparisons, policy changes, competitor pages—rather than relying on stale training data. The readme emphasizes subscription setup at api.search.brave.com, gzip via Accept-Encoding, and optional Goggles for custom ranking on POST. It fits early journey research and recurs during build when integrating external docs or validating assumptions before commit. Complexity is beginner-friendly if you already have an API key; the skill is procedural curl and HTTP contract knowledge, not a hosted MCP wrapper. Pair it with secret storage for BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY and rate-limit awareness on the Search plan.3kinstalls2News Searchnews-search is an agent skill that documents how to query Brave’s News Search API so your agent returns structured articles—title, URL, description, age, and thumbnail—with freshness, country, SafeSearch, and optional Goggles for ranking control. Solo builders install it when they need programmatic news monitoring during opportunity research, launch timing, or growth storytelling without wiring HTTP details from scratch each session. The SKILL.md emphasizes USE FOR news search, cURL quick starts for basic queries, last-24-hour freshness, and bounded date ranges, plus authentication through a subscription token. It suits agents that call external APIs under an explicit network permission model. Pair it with note-capture or content skills after you have citations worth saving or summarizing for landing copy, newsletters, or changelog context.665installs3Images Searchimages-search is an agent skill that wires your assistant to Brave’s image search API so you can fetch ranked image results with titles, canonical source URLs, and thumbnails without opening a browser tab. Solo and indie builders use it when they need reference photography, icon inspiration, or visual proof for competitive research decks, Notion specs, and launch creative—especially when an agent is drafting landing pages or social posts and must cite real URLs. The skill documents the GET endpoint, required query parameter limits (1–400 characters, up to 50 words), optional country and language filters, and count up to 200. It explicitly requires a Brave Search API key on the Search plan, making it a straightforward integration pattern: set the subscription token, pass safesearch when working on consumer-facing products, and pipe JSON results into downstream layout or CMS skills. Complexity stays beginner-friendly because the surface area is one REST call plus headers.583installs
