Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned answerzhao/agent-skills at aad73edbd0.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This backend skill enables AI agents to perform live internet searches, retrieving current information from the web. It bridges the gap between static training data and real-time facts by querying external search engines directly.

When to use it

  • Real-time Data Retrieval: Fetching breaking news, stock prices, or weather updates that change hourly.
  • Current Events Analysis: Investigating recent developments in technology, politics, or global markets.
  • Fact Verification: Cross-referencing user-provided claims against the latest online sources.
  • Up-to-date Research: Gathering fresh data for reports where training cut-off dates are insufficient.

Key capabilities

  • Executes live web queries to find relevant results.
  • Returns structured search data suitable for agent processing.
  • Operates as a backend utility within the answerzhao skill registry.

Example prompts

  • "Search for the latest earnings report released by Tesla this morning."
  • "Find current weather conditions in Tokyo and summarize them."
  • "What are the trending topics on social media regarding the new AI regulation bill?"

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your agent has active internet connectivity, as this skill relies entirely on external search infrastructure. Results depend on the underlying search engine's availability and accuracy at the moment of query.
