README
BetterSearch
DeepSeek just opened up the search engine behind its app. Any agent can call it now for **$0.75 per 1,000 searches**.
Raw results are decent. But an agent sending one vague query gets one vague answer... and sometimes some of it in Chinese (we searched in English and 2 of the top 5 came back in Chinese).
BetterSearch is a skill that fixes the part around the API: better queries, parallel research, a fact-check pass, and a clean report at the end. It works in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and Hermes.
Install
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ry0narushima/bettersearch/main/install.sh | bash
Then add your DeepSeek key, once:
python3 ~/.claude/skills/bettersearch/scripts/dsr.py setup
It opens the key page, tells you what to click, tests the key and saves it to `~/.config/deepseek-research/` (chmod 600). The key never goes through your agent's chat. `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` works too.
Two modes
**Quick** is the default. Ask a normal question, get a sourced answer in chat.
you ──► 2-4 sharp queries ──► best 1-3 pages fetched ──► answer + [1] [2] citations
(lang:, after:, site:)
**Advanced** kicks in when you say "deep research", or the question is big.
