Do I need an API key to use the exa-search skill?

Yes, you must obtain an API key from Exa and configure it via your environment variables to enable the skill's search capabilities.

What makes Exa search different from standard search engines?

Exa uses neural embeddings to understand the semantic meaning behind queries rather than just matching keywords, leading to more contextually relevant results.

Can I search for specific categories of information?

Yes, this skill supports specific categories including companies, people, and research papers to refine your discovery process.

Is this skill suitable for automated data collection?

While it provides structured results, it is best used for interactive research and discovery during development workflows in Claude Code.

How do I find content similar to a website I already know?

You can provide a specific URL to the skill, and it will use Exa's similarity search to find web pages that share similar characteristics or topics.
