Install with your agent

Agent handoff

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.

  1. Download the package from Yavira.
  2. Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
  3. Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install

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

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.

Required Credentials: LANGSEARCH_API_KEY - Your free LangSearch API key (required) Security Best Practices: Get a free API key - Sign up at langsearch.com/api-keys Protect your API key - Never commit .env files containing LANGSEARCH_API_KEY to version control Use environment variables - Store the key in .env or set via export LANGSEARCH_API_KEY="..." Monitor usage - Check your API usage on the LangSearch dashboard Code inspection - This tool only uses the official LangSearch API.

Overview

LangSearch provides free APIs for web search and semantic reranking. It combines keyword search precision with vector-based semantic matching, making it ideal for integrating current web information into LLM applications and building RAG systems.

Prerequisites

Get a free API key at https://langsearch.com/api-keys Set your API key as an environment variable: export LANGSEARCH_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Basic Web Search

The simplest way to search the web using LangSearch: import requests import json import os api_key = os.getenv("LANGSEARCH_API_KEY") headers = { "Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}", "Content-Type": "application/json" } query = "latest AI developments 2025" payload = { "query": query, "count": 5, "summary": True } response = requests.post( "https://api.langsearch.com/v1/web-search", headers=headers, json=payload ) results = response.json() print(json.dumps(results, indent=2)) Or using cURL: curl -X POST https://api.langsearch.com/v1/web-search \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $LANGSEARCH_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "query": "latest AI developments 2025", "count": 5, "summary": true }'

Web Search API

The web search endpoint retrieves information from billions of web documents using hybrid search (keyword + vector matching) with optional summaries.

Endpoint

POST https://api.langsearch.com/v1/web-search

Request Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescriptionquerystringYesThe search querycountintegerNoNumber of results to return (default: 10, max: 100)summarybooleanNoInclude markdown summaries in results (default: false)freshnessstringNoFilter results by freshness (day, week, month, year)

Response Structure

The API returns an array of search results with: title - Result title url - Result URL snippet - Text excerpt from the page summary - Markdown formatted summary (if summary: true in request) score - Relevance score

Example Use Cases

Current Information Retrieval When your LLM needs up-to-date information: # Search for recent developments response = requests.post( "https://api.langsearch.com/v1/web-search", headers=headers, json={ "query": "Python 3.14 release notes", "count": 3, "summary": True, "freshness": "week" } ) Multi-Query Research Build context from multiple searches: queries = [ "climate change mitigation strategies", "renewable energy trends 2025", "carbon capture technology" ] all_results = [] for query in queries: response = requests.post( "https://api.langsearch.com/v1/web-search", headers=headers, json={"query": query, "count": 5, "summary": True} ) all_results.extend(response.json())

Semantic Reranking API

Improve search accuracy by reranking results based on semantic relevance to your query.

Endpoint

POST https://api.langsearch.com/v1/rerank

Request Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescriptionquerystringYesThe search query for contextdocumentsarrayYesArray of documents to rerank (each with title, text, etc.)modelstringNoReranking model (default: langsearch-rerank-1)top_nintegerNoNumber of top results to return (default: 10)return_documentsbooleanNoInclude full documents in response (default: false)

Example: Reranking Web Search Results

# Get initial search results search_response = requests.post( "https://api.langsearch.com/v1/web-search", headers=headers, json={"query": "machine learning deployment best practices", "count": 10} ) search_results = search_response.json() # Prepare documents for reranking documents = [ {"title": r.get("title", ""), "text": r.get("snippet", "")} for r in search_results ] # Rerank for better relevance rerank_response = requests.post( "https://api.langsearch.com/v1/rerank", headers=headers, json={ "query": "best practices for deploying ML models in production", "documents": documents, "top_n": 5 } ) reranked = rerank_response.json()

Building RAG Applications

Combine web search with LLM context for better information retrieval and generation: def rag_query(user_question): # Step 1: Search the web for relevant information search_response = requests.post( "https://api.langsearch.com/v1/web-search", headers=headers, json={ "query": user_question, "count": 5, "summary": True } ) search_results = search_response.json() # Step 2: Extract summaries and URLs for context context = "\n".join([ f"- {r['title']}: {r.get('summary', r.get('snippet', ''))}" for r in search_results ]) # Step 3: Use with your LLM # This is where you'd call your LLM with the context rag_context = f""" Based on recent web search results: {context} Answer the user's question: {user_question} """ return rag_context, search_results

Resources

This skill includes example resource directories that demonstrate how to organize different types of bundled resources:

scripts/

Executable code (Python/Bash/etc.) that can be run directly to perform specific operations. Examples from other skills: PDF skill: fill_fillable_fields.py, extract_form_field_info.py - utilities for PDF manipulation DOCX skill: document.py, utilities.py - Python modules for document processing Appropriate for: Python scripts, shell scripts, or any executable code that performs automation, data processing, or specific operations. Note: Scripts may be executed without loading into context, but can still be read by Claude for patching or environment adjustments.

references/

Documentation and reference material intended to be loaded into context to inform Claude's process and thinking. Examples from other skills: Product management: communication.md, context_building.md - detailed workflow guides BigQuery: API reference documentation and query examples Finance: Schema documentation, company policies Appropriate for: In-depth documentation, API references, database schemas, comprehensive guides, or any detailed information that Claude should reference while working.

assets/

Files not intended to be loaded into context, but rather used within the output Claude produces. Examples from other skills: Brand styling: PowerPoint template files (.pptx), logo files Frontend builder: HTML/React boilerplate project directories Typography: Font files (.ttf, .woff2) Appropriate for: Templates, boilerplate code, document templates, images, icons, fonts, or any files meant to be copied or used in the final output. Any unneeded directories can be deleted. Not every skill requires all three types of resources.

Category context

Code helpers, APIs, CLIs, browser automation, testing, and developer operations.
