deep-research-exa

name	deep-research-exa
description	Run Exa-backed deep research, neural search, and page-content retrieval with bounded result and page-read counts. Use when a task needs Exa Search, Exa Contents, or Exa Research inside a source-discovery or benchmark workflow.

Exa Research

Use this skill for neural web search, source discovery, and Exa's agentic deep research endpoint.

Environment

op run --env-file .env.climbhill -- python .agents/skills/deep-research-exa/scripts/exa_tools.py \
  search "deepresearch the deepresearchers" \
  --num-results 5 \
  --highlights

Required 1Password-backed variable:

• EXA_API_KEY

Cost Controls

• Use the search command with --num-results 5 --highlights for under-$1 benchmark smokes.
• Use research --model exa-research only when the task needs Exa's agentic research endpoint.
• For search-only tasks, cap --num-results to 5 or fewer.
• Avoid broad content reads unless the task requires full-page extraction.
