# Exa CLI Skill

## Identity
- **Name**: cli-anything-exa

optimised for AI agent workflows. Supports web search across multiple modes (fast, deep,
deep-reasoning) and fetching full-text or highlighted page contents.

## Prerequisites
- Python >= 3.10
- `pip install cli-anything-exa`
- `export EXA_API_KEY="your-api-key"` (get one at https://dashboard.exa.ai/api-keys)

## Installation
```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/HKUDS/CLI-Anything.git#subdirectory=exa/agent-harness
```

cli-anything-exa contents <url> [url ...] [--content text|highlights|summary] [--freshness smart|always|never]
```

```

## JSON Output
All commands support `--json` at the root level for machine-readable output:
```bash
cli-anything-exa --json search "latest LLM papers" --num-results 5
```

## Common Agent Patterns

### Fast keyword lookup
```bash
cli-anything-exa --json search "site:arxiv.org transformer architectures" --type fast --content highlights
```

### Deep research on a topic
```bash
cli-anything-exa --json search "EU AI Act compliance requirements 2024" --type deep --content text
```

### Academic paper discovery
```bash
cli-anything-exa --json search "retrieval augmented generation" --category research-paper --num-results 20
```

### Company intelligence
```bash
cli-anything-exa --json search "Anthropic funding history" --category company
```

### News monitoring
```bash
cli-anything-exa --json search "AI regulation news" --category news --from 2024-01-01
```

### Fetch full content for summarisation
```bash
cli-anything-exa --json contents https://example.com/article --content text
```

## Interactive REPL
```bash
cli-anything-exa   # No subcommand → enters REPL
```
Type commands without the `cli-anything-exa` prefix. Type `exit` or `quit` to leave.

## Notes
- `highlights` content mode is 10× more token-efficient than `text` — prefer it for agent pipelines
- `--type deep` triggers multi-step reasoning; slower but synthesises across many sources
- `--category company` and `--category people` do not support date or domain-exclude filters
- Cost per query is included in JSON output under `cost_dollars`
