How does the content extraction work?

The skill uses an extraction script that fetches a URL and converts the page content into clean Markdown, stripping away ads and navigation to help Claude process the core information.

Do I need a Brave Search API key to use this skill?

While a Brave Search API key is recommended for advanced filtering and image search, the skill includes a fallback to Claude's internal WebSearch tool if a key isn't provided.

What is the difference between 'quick' and 'deep' research?

Quick research performs a single targeted search for immediate answers, while deep research uses a multi-step process to gather information from multiple queries and synthesize a comprehensive report.

Can I search for specific file types or specific websites?

Yes, the skill supports native Brave Search operators like 'site:github.com' or 'filetype:pdf' to provide highly precise information retrieval.
