Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Web Research ## Available Models - **gemini-search** — Google Gemini with web search grounding (default) - **perplexity-fast** — Perplexity AI, faster (default) - **perplexity** — Perplexity AI - **nomnom** — NomNom search model By default, queries both **gemini-search** and **perplexity-fast** in parallel. ## Requirements - `curl` ## Authentication Set an API key in an environment variable (preferred): ```bash export POLLINATIONS_API_KEY="YOUR_KEY" ``` Or create a local `.env` file at `.claude/skills/web-research/.env`: ```bash POLLINATIONS_API_KEY="YOUR_KEY" ``` If `POLLINATIONS_API_KEY` is not set, the script will prompt for a key (input hidden). ## Quick usage ```bash .claude/skills/web-research/scripts/web-research.sh "What is pollinations.ai?" ``` Choose a model: ```bash .claude/skills/web-research/scripts/web-research.sh --model perplexity-fast "Fact-check this claim with sources" ``` Compare multiple models: ```bash .claude/skills/web-research/scripts/web-research.sh --models gemini-search,perplexity-fast,nomnom "Compare answers" ``` Run multi-model in parallel: ```bash .claude/skills/web-research/scripts/web-research.sh --models gemini-search,perplexity-fast --parallel "

What does the web-research skill do?
Query Pollinations text API with web-search models (gemini-search, perplexity-fast, nomnom, etc.). Use when you need web search grounded answers via Pollinations.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill web-research --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.
