How does it handle large amounts of search data without hitting token limits?

It uses token isolation by spawning internal task agents. These agents process the raw search data internally and return only the distilled, relevant information to your main conversation.

What makes this skill different from a standard web search?

Unlike general search, this skill uses Exa's specialized 'company' and 'people' categories to return structured metadata like funding, headcount, and professional profiles rather than just a list of links.

Does this skill support LinkedIn research?

Yes, it utilizes Exa's 'people' category for public data and can automatically fallback to browser-based navigation if the content is auth-gated or requires JavaScript.

Can I specify how many companies I want to find?

Yes, the skill features dynamic tuning. You can ask for a 'few' results (10-20) or a 'comprehensive' list (50-100), and it will adjust the Exa search parameters accordingly.
