# Search the Web with Skywork

Current research requests need sources beyond model training data. This skill uses the Skywork API to search the web and save source-backed results.

## Install

```bash
npx skillstore add skyworkai/skywork-search

## Capabilities

- Authenticates with Skywork using an environment token, cached token, or browser login.
- Runs one to three web search queries per command.
- Sends queries to the Skywork web search gateway.
- Saves each query result to a text file in a temporary directory.
- Returns source URLs and snippets for later synthesis.

## Use Cases

- Current Event Research: Check recent facts, source URLs, and snippets before writing a brief.
- Document Source Gathering: Collect web references for reports, slides, or research summaries.
- Technical Lookup: Find current release notes, documentation pages, or issue references.

## Prompt Templates

### Basic Search

```
Search for recent information about [topic] and summarize the most reliable sources.
```

### Compare Sources

```
Search for [topic] from official sources, news coverage, and expert analysis.
```

### Build A Brief

```
Research [question], cite source URLs, and separate confirmed facts from uncertain claims.
```

### Multi-Step Research

```
Run focused searches for [topic], identify source conflicts, and produce a sourced decision brief.
```

## Limitations

- Requires Skywork API access and a valid token.
- Limits each command to three search queries.
- Uses a 30-second request timeout per query.
- Caches the login token in a hidden home-directory file.

## Best Practices

- Use focused queries with time, location, product, or organization names.
- Open and read saved result files before answering the user.
- Cite source URLs when presenting factual claims.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not use broad single-word queries for complex research.
- Do not treat snippets as verified without checking source context.
- Do not include sensitive private data in search queries.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-07T05:35:18.929\+00:00
- Summary: The skill implements legitimate Skywork web search, but it has significant security exposure from token caching, outbound network requests, and external browser launch commands. I found no prompt injection language, but the search script builds output filenames from raw query text and can write outside the intended temporary directory.
