# Exa SDK Patterns ## Overview Production-ready patterns for the `exa-js` SDK. Covers client singletons, typed wrappers, error handling, retry logic, and response validation for real Exa API methods. ## Prerequisites - `exa-js` installed and `EXA_API_KEY` configured - TypeScript project with strict mode - Familiarity with async/await and error handling ## Instructions ### Step 1: Client Singleton ```typescript // src/exa/client.ts import Exa from "exa-js"; let instance: Exa | null = null; export function getExa(): Exa { if (!instance) { const apiKey = process.env.EXA_API_KEY; if (!apiKey) { throw new Error("EXA_API_KEY not set. Get one at https://dashboard.exa.ai"); } instance = new Exa(apiKey); } return instance; } ``` ### Step 2: Typed Search Wrapper ```typescript // src/exa/search.ts import Exa from "exa-js"; import { getExa } from "./client"; interface ExaSearchOptions { type?: "auto" | "neural" | "keyword" | "fast" | "instant" | "deep" | "deep-reasoning"; numResults?: number; includeDomains?: string[]; excludeDomains?: string[]; startPublishedDate?: string; endPublishedDate?: string; category?: "company" | "research paper" | "news" | "tweet" | "personal site" | "financial repo

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --skill exa-sdk-patterns --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 jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills, a repository with 2,630 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.
