Give your agent Tavily-powered web search, extract, map, and crawl when the IDE has no built-in search or you want LLM-ready citations.

About

tavily is an agent skill that documents how to call Tavily’s REST API for search, content extraction, mapping, and crawling when your coding agent lacks a native browser or search tool, or when you want responses formatted for downstream LLM reasoning. Developers use it during idea research, validation spikes, and build-time doc lookups without wiring a separate MCP server. The skill emphasizes choosing Tavily when built-in tooling is missing or when Tavily’s structured output beats raw HTML fetches. It spans multiple journey phases but lands on idea research as the canonical catalog shelf because that is when most developers first need programmatic web evidence.

  • Web search, URL extraction, site mapping, and crawling via Tavily’s REST API
  • Use when no built-in web search tool is available in the agent session
  • LLM-friendly response shapes for summarization and citation in plans
  • Productivity-category plugin from intellectronica/agent-skills
  • Covers research workflows beyond a single search query
