SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires z-ai-web-dev-sdk, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill eliminates the need for manual browser searches to access current, real-time information that is not available in static knowledge bases, enabling developers and researchers to integrate up-to-date web data directly into their applications and workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Flexible Web Search Execution: Run targeted web searches via CLI or SDK, with support for custom result counts, recency filters, and output to JSON files for quick lookups or automation.
  • Structured Result Processing: Retrieve search results with standardized metadata including URLs, snippets, domain names, and publication dates, with built-in tools for filtering, sorting, and validating result quality.
  • Production-Ready Integration Patterns: Access pre-built examples for integrating web search into Express.js APIs, adding AI-powered summarization of search results, and implementing guardrails like caching, rate limiting, and error retries for production use cases.

Quick Start

Use the web-search skill to run a search for the top 3 most recent results about "2024 AI regulation updates" and return a formatted list of result titles, URLs, and snippets.
