Description
Unified multi-provider web search and URL extraction skill with intelligent auto-routing across Serper, Brave, Tavily, Querit, Linkup, Exa, Firecrawl, Perple...
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable sending searches and extraction URLs to the selected third-party providers. Use an explicit provider for sensitive work, disable or clear the cache when queries may contain confidential terms, avoid extracting private/internal URLs, and prefer environment variables or locked-down file permissions for API keys on shared machines.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The artifacts coherently implement multi-provider web search, URL extraction, provider fallback, and research mode; sending queries and URLs to configured provider APIs is central to that purpose and is disclosed.
Instruction Scope
The skill instructions are focused on web search and extraction workflows, with narrow trigger phrases and no hidden role changes, unrelated agent commands, or deceptive runtime instructions found.
Install Mechanism
The interactive setup wizard collects provider choices and may write API keys to local config.json; this is purpose-aligned and disclosed in setup, though one SKILL.md privacy bullet overstates that API keys are never persisted.
Credentials
Environment and network access are proportionate to the stated integrations: provider API keys, SearXNG settings, WSP cache/security toggles, listed provider hosts, and user-configured SearXNG instances.
Persistence & Privilege
Search queries, results, and provider failure history are cached locally by default with 0700/0600 cache permissions plus --no-cache, WSP_DISABLE_CACHE, clear-cache, and cache-stats controls; config.json credential storage should be protected on shared systems.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install web-search-plus - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/web-search-plus - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
