Is the Agentic Search skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from appautomaton/webmaton. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

How do I install Agentic Search?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Agentic Search with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Didn't pass
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 40a8028

Real run on a clean box: `python3 scripts/agentic_search.py --query test` failed cleanly with `GROK_API_URL is not set` — the skill needs a paid xAI Grok key (plus optional Tavily/Firecrawl keys) and `uv`/Python 3.13 before it produces a single result, so a plain WebSearch beat it 1-0 on this machine.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

Installs cleanly 5/5
Triggers reliably 5/5
Output vs. baseline 3/10
Docs & honesty 5/5

What Agentic Search does

A 6-script research toolkit (search, fetch, map, extract, rank, get-sources) that wraps xAI Grok web search plus optional Tavily/Firecrawl for source-backed, citable answers and full-fidelity page-to-Markdown capture. Triggers on requests for current, cited web research or when ordinary search feels thin on sources; not meant for one-off facts.
