name

kdense-exa-search

description

Web toolkit powered by Exa, tuned for scientific and technical content. Use this skill when the user needs to search the web or fetch/extract URL content. Covers: web search (semantic lookups, research, current info — with optional research-paper category and academic domain filtering) and URL extraction (fetching pages, articles, academic PDFs in batch). Use this skill for web-related tasks when the user wants high-quality search or scholarly filtering via category=research paper. Triggers on requests to search, look up, fetch a page, or extract an article.

Kdense Exa Search

Use this Codex adapter for the pinned upstream scientific skill.

Catalog status

• Status: inactive
• Source: kdense
• Audit reasons: credentials-required, executable-content
• Upstream license: MIT
• Inventory: ../../inventory.json
• Upstream instructions: ../../../vendor/scientific-agent-skills/skills/exa-search/SKILL.md

Procedure

1. Resolve the plugin root as three directories above this skill directory.
2. Read the matching inventory record and verify its status, reasons, source path, and pinned revision.
3. Do not read the upstream instructions until the user has seen every audit reason and given explicit acknowledgement. Acknowledgement permits instruction inspection only.
4. Treat upstream frontmatter as source metadata, not as Codex configuration. Follow the instruction body only where it is compatible with available Codex tools and the current user-approved plan.
5. Treat tools named for another agent runtime as capability requests. Map them to an available Codex tool only when the behavior is equivalent; otherwise report the unavailable capability.
6. Ask before credentials, package installation, new network hosts, remote compute, writes, paid services, destructive actions, or imported executable code.
7. Use $science-provenance for produced scientific outputs and $science-review before presenting scientific claims.

Boundaries

• This wrapper does not grant credentials, network access, package installation, or script execution.
• Do not change an inactive record to active from inside a research task.
• Preserve failures, uncertainty, source identifiers, and licensing constraints.
