Google AI Mode Skill

Query Google's AI Search mode to retrieve comprehensive, source-grounded answers from across the web.

When to Use This Skill

Trigger this skill when the user:

• Requests current information beyond the knowledge cutoff (post-January 2025)
• Needs documentation or API references for libraries and frameworks
• Asks for coding examples or implementation patterns
• Wants technical comparisons or best practices
• Requires research with citations and sources
• Mentions "Google AI search", "Google AI mode", or "web research"

CLI Flags

Essential Flags

--debug - Enable comprehensive logging

python scripts/run.py search.py --query "..." --debug

• Saves detailed logs to logs/search_YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.log
• Logs every step: browser launch, CAPTCHA detection, AI content waiting, citation extraction
• Essential for troubleshooting CAPTCHA issues or failed searches
• Log file path printed at completion

--save - Save results to skill folder

python scripts/run.py search.py --query "..." --save

• Saves markdown to results/YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS_Query_Name.md
• Timestamped filename for organized storage
• Results preserved in skill directory for future reference
• Use instead of --output for automatic naming

Combined usage (recommended for debugging):

python scripts/run.py search.py --query "..." --debug --save

Other Flags

--show-browser - Show browser window (for CAPTCHA solving)

python scripts/run.py search.py --query "..." --show-browser

--output <path> - Custom output file path

python scripts/run.py search.py --query "..." --output result.md

--json - Include JSON metadata in output

python scripts/run.py search.py --query "..." --output result.md --json

Query Optimization Strategy

CRITICAL: Always optimize user queries before execution. Google AI Mode's quality depends on query precision.

Optimization Template

[Technology/Topic] [Version] [Year] ([Specific Aspect 1], [Aspect 2], [Aspect 3]). [Output format request].

Optimization Rules

1. Include Current Year (2026) for up-to-date results
2. Use parentheses to list specific aspects needed
3. Request structured output (tables, comparisons, categorized lists)
4. Include version numbers for library/framework queries

Examples

Note: If user provides an already detailed query with version numbers and requirements, use it as-is.

Workflow

1. Receive user request
2. Optimize query using template above
3. Inform user: "Searching for: '[optimized query]'"
4. Execute search with --save --debug flags
5. Return results with inline citations [1][2][3]

Script Execution

CRITICAL: Always use the run.py wrapper. Direct script execution will fail.

Basic Search

python scripts/run.py search.py --query "Your search query"

Recommended Usage

python scripts/run.py search.py --query "..." --save --debug

The run.py wrapper automatically:

• Creates .venv on first run
• Installs dependencies (patchright, beautifulsoup4, html-to-markdown)
• Activates virtual environment
• Executes search script
• Installs Google Chrome (not Chromium) for anti-detection

How It Works

1. Persistent Browser Context: Uses saved browser profile at ~/.cache/google-ai-mode-skill/chrome_profile to preserve cookies/session between searches
2. Eliminates CAPTCHAs: Persistent context means Google recognizes the browser → rarely triggers CAPTCHA
3. AI Content Detection: Waits for Google AI Overview to appear on page
4. Citation Extraction: Injects JavaScript to extract source links from AI response
5. Markdown Conversion: Converts HTML to markdown with inline citations [1][2][3]
6. Fast Results: Typical search completes in 5-7 seconds (no CAPTCHA)

CAPTCHA Handling

With persistent context, CAPTCHAs are rare. If encountered:

1. Detection: Multi-layer check (URL /sorry/index, page text, content length)
2. Automatic Handling: If CAPTCHA detected in headless mode → script returns CAPTCHA_REQUIRED error
3. Manual Solution: Re-run with --show-browser flag, solve CAPTCHA in browser, script continues automatically

Note: After CAPTCHA is solved once, persistent context preserves the session → future searches won't require CAPTCHA.

Output Format

Returns markdown with inline citations and source list. Example:

React 18 introduces concurrent features including Suspense for data fetching[1],
automatic batching for state updates[2], and transitions for non-urgent updates[3].

Common Use Cases

Finding Library Documentation

python scripts/run.py search.py --query "Prisma ORM 2026 (schema definition, migrations, client API, relation queries, transactions). Include TypeScript examples." --save --debug

Getting Coding Examples

python scripts/run.py search.py --query "WebSocket implementation Node.js 2026 (server setup, client connection, message handling, authentication, reconnection logic). Production-ready code examples." --save

Technical Comparisons

python scripts/run.py search.py --query "GraphQL vs REST API 2026 (performance, caching, tooling, type safety, learning curve). Comparison table with use case recommendations." --save

Best Practices Research

python scripts/run.py search.py --query "Microservices security patterns 2026 (API gateway authentication, service mesh, mutual TLS, secret management, observability). Architecture diagrams and implementation guide." --save --debug

Troubleshooting

Exit Codes:

• 0 - Success
• 1 - General error
• 2 - CAPTCHA required (retry with --show-browser)
• 3 - Browser closed by user
• 4 - AI Mode not available in region (use proxy/VPN)
• 130 - User interrupted (Ctrl+C)

Best Practices

1. Always optimize queries - Specificity determines result quality
2. Use --save --debug for important searches - Preserves results and provides audit trail
3. Include version numbers for library/framework queries
4. Request structured output - Tables and comparisons improve usability
5. Solve CAPTCHA once - Persistent context eliminates future CAPTCHAs
6. Verify citations - Check provided sources for accuracy
