README

๐Ÿš shell-search

A [Claude Code Agent Skill](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/skills) for web research from the terminal using `curl` + Unix text tools.

What is this?

`shell-search` is a skill that teaches Claude (or any SKILL.md-compatible agent) how to search, scrape, parse, and synthesize information from the web โ€” **without a browser**. It covers:

  • Wikipedia scraping (HTML + script/style strip + grep patterns)
  • Wikipedia API queries (clean JSON extracts & search, with snippet cleaning)
  • GitHub API queries (repo search with field extraction, contents browsing, raw file fetch)
  • Multi-language comparison (cross-reference en/ko/ja editions)
  • HTML table parsing (Python regex wikitable extraction)
  • HTML entity decoding (html.unescape for & ')
  • Noise filtering (battle-tested grep -v patterns + script/style removal)
  • Progressive refinement pipeline (4-step research flow)

Quick Start

Option A: Clone into your Claude skills directory

git clone https://github.com/pinion05/shell-search.git ~/.claude/skills/shell-search

Option B: Copy just the SKILL.md

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/shell-search
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pinion05/shell-search/main/shell-search/SKILL.md \
  -o ~/.claude/skills/shell-search/SKILL.md
