What can agents do with it?

Hybrid retrieval

Search web and scholarly sources together.

Broader coverage

Reduce blind spots from single-source search.

Research summaries

Summarize findings across source types.

Evidence comparison

Compare current sources with academic evidence.

Setup

This skill requires the AISA_API_KEY environment variable. When installed as a Claude plugin, the key is configured via the plugin’s userConfig.

Usage

Run the search client with the smart subcommand:
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/smart-search/scripts/search_client.py smart --query "<search query>" --count <max_results>

Arguments

ArgumentRequiredDefaultDescription
--query / -qYesSearch query
--count / -cNo10Maximum number of results (1–100)

Example

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/smart-search/scripts/search_client.py smart --query "impact of large language models on software engineering" --count 10

Output

The script prints a mixed set of results from both web and academic sources, including titles, URLs, and content snippets.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user’s query spans both general knowledge and academic research. For example, questions about emerging technologies, scientific topics with practical applications, or any query where both web articles and papers would be valuable.
