README
# PipeLLM WebSearch [](LICENSE) > Give your coding agent the ability to search the web, read pages, and stay up to date — powered by [PipeLLM](https://pipellm.com). A skill extension for coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex, OpenCode) that teaches your agent **when** and **how** to use web search effectively during development tasks. ## ✨ What It Does This skill teaches your coding agent to: - 🔍 **Search the web** — find documentation, solutions, and references - ⚡ **Quick search** — fast lookups when speed matters - 📄 **Read web pages** — extract clean content from any URL - 📰 **Search news** — find current events and recent developments Your agent learns to **choose the right search type** based on the situation — fast snippets for quick lookups, deep RAG search for thorough research, or news search for current events. ## 🚀 Installation ### Claude Code ``` /plugin install pipellm-websearch@pipellm-websearch ``` Or register the marketplace first: ``` /plugin marketplace add PipeLlm-AI/pipellm-websearch-skill /plugin install pipellm-websearch@pipellm-websearch ``` ### Cursor ``` /add-plugin pipellm-websearch ``` ### Gemini CLI ``` gemini extensions install https://github.com/PipeLlm-AI/pipellm-websearch-skill ``` ### Codex ``` Fetch and follow instructions from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PipeLlm-AI/pipellm-websearch-skill/refs/heads/main/.codex/INSTALL.md ``` ### OpenCode ``` Fetch and follow instructions from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PipeLlm-AI/pipellm-websearch-skill/refs/heads/main/.opencode/INSTALL.md ``` ## 🔑 Setup 1. Visit [console.pipellm.com](https://console.pipellm.com) 2. Sign up or log in — new accounts get **$5 free credit** 3. Go to **API Keys** → **Create Key** (starts with `pipe-`) 4. Set your key: `export PIPELLM_API_KEY=pipe-your-key-here` ## 🛠️ Available Search Types | Type | Speed | Use Case | |------|-------|----------| | **RAG Search** | ~5-15s | Deep research, fact-checking, technical lookups | | **Simple Search** | ~1s ⚡ | Quick facts, getting URLs, version checks | | **Web Reader** | ~3-10s | Reading documentation, articles, blog posts | | **News Search** | ~5-15s | Current events, breaking news, announcements | Deep and news searches cost **$0.08** per successful request. Simple search and reader requests cost **$0.01**. ## 📖 How It Works This is a **pure skill** (no runtime code). It provides your coding agent with: 1. **Decision logic** — when to search vs. when to rely on existing knowledge 2. **Scenario-based selection** — which search type to use for different tasks 3. **API knowledge** — how to call PipeLLM's WebSearch API with `curl`/`fetch` 4. **Error handling** — how to deal with failures and guide users through setup The agent uses its native HTTP tools to make API calls directly. ## 🔄 Updating ### Gemini CLI ```bash gemini extensions update pipellm-websearch ``` ### Codex / OpenCode ```bash cd ~/.codex/pipellm-websearch && git pull # or cd ~/.config/opencode/pipellm-websearch && git pull ``` ## 📄 License MIT
