Tavily
Use the bundled CLI to run Tavily searches from the terminal and collect sources fast.

export TAVILY_API_KEY="..."
node skills/tavily/scripts/tavily_search.js --query "best rust http client" --max_results 5- JSON response is printed to stdout.
- A simple URL list is printed to stderr by default.
