TLDR

Tavily and Exa are AI search services. This skill gives the agent five of their tools on inference.sh, each with a ready belt command and a JSON input. Tavily Search Assistant returns an AI-written answer with sources and images; Exa Search returns relevant links with context; Exa Answer gives a direct answer to a factual question; Tavily Extract and Exa Extract pull clean text from pages you name. It also shows two chains on the same platform: search, then pass the results to a language model to summarize, or extract a long article and summarize it.
