Brave Web Search

Search the live web using the Brave Search API.

When to Use

✅ USE this skill when:

• "What's Tesla's stock price right now?"
• "Latest news about SEC crypto regulation"
• "Compare NVDA and AMD market caps"
• "What happened with [company] today?"
• Any question requiring real-time or current information

When NOT to Use

❌ DON'T use this skill when:

• User asks about SEC filings in our database → use query-sec-filings
• User asks about documents we've already scraped → use query-sec-filings
• General knowledge questions the LLM can answer directly

Commands

Run the search script with the user's query. The script handles authentication and response formatting automatically:

bash /app/skills/brave-search/search.sh "Tesla stock price today"

Always use this script — do NOT attempt to run curl with API keys directly.

Notes

• Free tier: 1 request/sec, 2000/month
• Always cite the source URL when presenting results
• Summarize the top results rather than dumping everything
