[H1][EXA-TOOLS]

Dictum: Semantic search surfaces relevant content.

Execute Exa AI search queries via Python CLI. API key auto-injected via 1Password.

[IMPORTANT] Exa 2.0 introduced three search tiers: fast (sub-350ms), auto (balanced), deep (agentic, highest quality). Default: auto.

[1][COMMANDS]

[CMD]	[ARGS]	[RETURNS]
search	`<query> [type] [num]`	Web results with text content
code	`<query> [num]`	GitHub code context
find-similar	`<url> [num]`	Pages similar to given URL
answer	`<query>`	AI-generated answer with sources

[2][USAGE]

# Web search (default: auto type, 8 results)
uv run .claude/skills/exa-tools/scripts/exa.py search "Vite 7 new features"

# Neural search for concepts
uv run .claude/skills/exa-tools/scripts/exa.py search "Effect-TS best practices" neural

# Fast search for quick lookups
uv run .claude/skills/exa-tools/scripts/exa.py search "React 19 release notes" fast 15

# Deep search for highest quality
uv run .claude/skills/exa-tools/scripts/exa.py search "Nx workspace optimization" deep

# Code context search (GitHub)
uv run .claude/skills/exa-tools/scripts/exa.py code "React useState hook examples"

# Code search with custom results
uv run .claude/skills/exa-tools/scripts/exa.py code "Effect pipe examples" 20

# Find similar pages
uv run .claude/skills/exa-tools/scripts/exa.py find-similar "https://effect.website/docs/guides/essentials/pipeline"

# AI answer with citations
uv run .claude/skills/exa-tools/scripts/exa.py answer "What are the breaking changes in Vite 7?"
