exa
Dianel555/DSkillsSkill
High-precision semantic search and content retrieval via Exa API. Use when: (1) Deep research requiring semantic understanding, (2) Code documentation and examples lookup, (3) Company/professional research, (4) AI-powered comprehensive research tasks, (5) URL content extraction with structured output. Triggers: "research", "find papers", "code examples", "company info", "LinkedIn profiles", "deep analysis". Differentiator: Exa excels at semantic/neural search while grok-search is better for real-time news and general web content.
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 65 stars are split between them (about 7 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 57/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit b19d746ff239, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
What its code does:
- Reads environment variables and sends network requests with them API clients do this to send your key to the service. Check which service it talks to.
- Makes network requestsSKILL.md
Web addresses in its code:
- api.exa.aiscripts/exa_cli/config.py:8
These are the sites named in the code, so it's where your data could go. It isn't a complete list: code can build addresses while it runs, and a few of these may be links rather than calls. Whatever you send also goes to the AI model you use.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
