majiayu000 Brave Search
Headless web search and content extraction using Brave Search. No browser required. This skill exists to provide a reliable, reusable web lookup tool that behaves consistently across agents and projects, even though Codex can search when explicitly enabled; it standardizes the search/extract workflow so it is portable and predictable.
Setup
Run once before first use:
cd /home/vnkbr/.codex/skills/brave-search
npm ci
Needs env: BRAVE_API_KEY.
If missing, ./search.js exits with a missing key error.
Alt install: if this repo is mirrored elsewhere, cd <that>/skills/brave-search before npm ci.
Search
./search.js "query" # Basic search (5 results)
./search.js "query" -n 10 # More results
./search.js "query" --content # Include page content as markdown
./search.js "query" -n 3 --content # Combined
Extract Page Content
./content.js https://example.com/article
Fetches a URL and extracts readable content as markdown.
