How does the Tier-based reliability system work?

It categorizes web sources into four levels: Tier 1 for official documentation, Tier 2 for semi-official guides, Tier 3 for community platforms like Stack Overflow, and Tier 4 for expert blogs, ensuring you get the most authoritative answers first.

Can I limit search results to only official documentation?

Yes, you can specify a 'tier' parameter (e.g., tier: 1) to filter the search results exclusively to official project websites and repositories.

Does this skill require Gemini to function?

While it prioritizes Gemini for its native Google Search capabilities via MCP or Bash, it includes a fallback mechanism to use standard WebSearch tools if Gemini is unavailable.

How does Search Core handle duplicate search results?

The skill applies normalization rules to URLs—removing tracking parameters, fragments, and protocol differences—and then uses deduplication logic to ensure each unique resource is only presented once.

Web Scraping & Data Collection

Optimizes web searching and source reliability filtering by delegating to Gemini and categorizing results into authority tiers.

About

Search Core is a foundational skill for Claude Code designed to standardize and enhance technical web searches. It acts as a central logic layer that intelligently delegates search tasks to Gemini (via MCP or Bash) or falls back to native WebSearch tools, ensuring high-quality and up-to-date results. The skill stands out with its Tier-based reliability system, which automatically prioritizes official documentation over community blogs, and includes robust deduplication and URL normalization to provide developers with the most accurate information efficiently.

Key Features

Multi-tier source reliability evaluation (Tiers 1-4)
Automatic URL normalization and result deduplication
Intelligent Gemini search delegation via MCP or Bash
Configurable fallback logic for resilient web data retrieval
Standardized output formats for quick summaries and deep-dive analysis
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Aggregating cross-platform community solutions while maintaining a high reliability threshold
Prioritizing official documentation and RFCs when researching new programming frameworks
Filtering out redundant or low-quality blog posts during technical troubleshooting
