# Brave Search Headless web search and content extraction using Brave Search. No browser required. ## Setup Run once before first use: ```bash cd "${CODEX_HOME:-~/.codex}/skills/brave-search" npm ci ``` Needs env: `BRAVE_API_KEY` (primary) or `BRAVE_AI_API_KEY` (fallback). The script tries `BRAVE_API_KEY` first, then `BRAVE_AI_API_KEY` if the first is missing or rate-limited. If both fail, it falls back to HTML scraping. ## Search ```bash ./search.js "query" # Basic search (5 results) ./search.js "query" -n 10 # More results ./search.js "query" --content # Include page content as markdown ./search.js "query" -n 3 --content # Combined ``` ## Extract Page Content ```bash ./content.js https://example.com/article ``` Fetches a URL and extracts readable content as markdown. ## Output Format ``` --- Result 1 --- Title: Page Title Link: https://example.com/page Snippet: Description from search results Content: (if --content flag used) Markdown content extracted from the page... --- Result 2 --- ... ``` ## When to Use - Searching for documentation or API references - Looking up facts or current information - Fetching content from specific URLs - Any task requiring web search without intera

Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill brave-search --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
