How to Execute
When this skill is triggered, execute the search script using the Bash tool:
~/.agents/skills/felo-search/scripts/search.sh "USER_QUERY_HERE"
Notes:
- Replace
USER_QUERY_HERE with the actual user query
- The script handles API key validation, JSON escaping, and API calls
- Supports all special characters, Unicode (Chinese, Japanese, etc.), and quotes
Parse and Format Response
The API returns JSON with this structure:
{
"answer": "AI-generated answer text",
"query_analysis": ["optimized query 1", "optimized query 2"]
}
Present the response to the user in this format:
## Answer
[Display the answer field]
## Query Analysis
Optimized search terms: [list query_analysis items]
