# Send Brave Web Search to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

## Documentation

### Brave Web Search

Searches the web and fetches AI-generated summarized answers using the Brave Search API. Exposes two commands: brave-search for ranked web results and brave-answer for concise AI summaries.

### Instructions

Trigger: Activate when the user wants to look something up on the web, check recent news, or get a factual answer to a question.


Setup: No installation step is required — this skill has zero external dependencies and runs on native Node.js.


Command selection:

Use brave-search for general web searches where ranked results with URLs and snippets are useful.
Use brave-answer for direct factual questions where a concise AI summary is more appropriate.



Execution: Invoke the script by passing the command name and parameters as separate arguments, never by interpolating user input into a shell command string. Use an argument array / execFile-style invocation so the shell never parses user-supplied values. Example (Node-style pseudo-code):
execFile('node', ['index.js', 'brave-search', '--query', userQuery, '--count', '10'])

Do not construct the command as a single concatenated string such as "node index.js brave-search --query " + userQuery.


Freshness: For time-sensitive queries, pass --freshness followed by pd (past day), pw (past week), or pm (past month) as a separate argument to brave-search.


Fallback: If brave-answer returns answer: null, present the fallback_results to the user instead.


Completion: Present the results clearly, citing titles and URLs for web search results, or the summary text for answer results.

### Security & Privacy

Shell Injection Prevention: User queries must be passed as discrete arguments (e.g. via execFile or an argv array), never interpolated into a shell command string. Concatenating user input into a shell string (e.g. shell: true with template literals) enables shell injection and is strictly forbidden.
Instruction Scope: This skill only sends query strings to the Brave Search and Brave Summarizer APIs.
Environment: It uses the BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY and BRAVE_ANSWERS_API_KEY provided by the OpenClaw environment.
Data Access: It does not read local files or .env files. All configuration is handled by the agent.
