Educational Resource Searcher

This skill searches popular educational platforms for high-quality learning resources based on user-specified topics, with optional filters for language, platform, free/paid status, and maximum results.

When this skill fits

• User asks to find tutorials, courses, videos, or learning materials on a specific topic (e.g., "SQL basics", "machine learning").
• Requests include filters like language ("in Ukrainian"), platform ("on YouTube"), free/paid ("free videos"), or max results.
• Queries about learning resources, educational content, or skill-building materials.
• Do NOT use for general web searches, non-educational content, or when no topic is specified.

Workflow

1. Parse the user's query to extract parameters:

   • topics: Required, at least one (e.g., "SQL database basics").
   • language: Optional, default "english".
   • platforms: Optional, list from references/resources.md; default all.
   • max_items: Optional, default 5.
   • free_only: Optional, boolean; default false (include paid).

2. Validate: If no topics provided, return error message: "You need to specify at least one topic."

3. Load platform details from references/resources.md.

4. For each selected platform:

   • Construct search URL using template and parameters.
   • Fetch the webpage content using fetch_webpage tool.
   • Extract top results: title, link, rating (if available), views/enrollments, free/paid status.
   • Filter results based on free_only and language (if detectable).

5. Aggregate results from all platforms.

6. Sort by rating descending, then views/enrollments descending.

7. Limit to max_items.

8. Output in ASCII table format.
