README
๐ 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.unescapefor&') - Noise filtering (battle-tested
grep -vpatterns + script/style removal) - Progressive refinement pipeline (4-step research flow)
