What exa-search does

exa-search uses the Exa API for semantic search, similar-content discovery, and research across categories such as companies, people, or academic papers. Ask for a search directly in a Claude Code conversation.

Set up an Exa API key before using the skill; its guidance recommends storing the key in environment variables. Install it in Claude Code with npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill web-development/exa-search. Exa searches will not work without the API key.

What it helps with

  • find sources by meaning rather than exact wording
  • locate content similar to a given item
  • search for information about companies or people
  • gather research papers on a topic

Example prompts for the agent

  • Use Exa to find material about how vector databases work.
  • Find articles similar to this text through Exa.
  • Search for academic papers on language models in education.
