prismfy-search

Overview

Prismfy Search is the default web search skill for OpenClaw, offering real-time, multi-engine search capabilities through a single API. It connects you to 10 different search engines — including Google, Reddit, GitHub, arXiv, and Hacker News — so your AI assistant can pull live results, code examples, academic papers, and community discussions without dealing with proxies, CAPTCHAs, or rate limits. With a generous free tier and no credit card required, it’s the simplest way to equip your agent with up-to-date web intelligence.

Key Features

• 10 Search Engines: Access Brave, Google, Reddit, GitHub, arXiv, Hacker News, Ask Ubuntu, Bing, Yahoo News, and more from one skill.
• Bundled Helper Script: Includes search.sh for searching, filtering by engine, time, domain, and checking quota — no extra setup.
• Free Tier Included: Start searching immediately with a free API key from Prismfy — no credit card needed.
• Smart Defaults: Defaults to combining Brave and Yahoo for general search; supports multi-engine queries for broader results.
• Cached Results: Recent queries are cached, returning instant results without consuming your quota.

How It Works

After installing the skill (openclaw skills install prismfy-search) and setting your PRISMFY_API_KEY environment variable, you can search by calling /search directly in your AI assistant. The skill delegates to the bundled search.sh script, which handles API authentication, engine selection, filters (time, domain, page), and result formatting. Optionally pass --quota to see your current usage.

Use Cases

• Live Research: Ask your assistant “What are the latest trends in Rust for 2025?” — it will return current web results from Google or Brave.
• Community Insights: Search “Is Bun replacing Node?” on Reddit to surface real user discussions.
• Code & Papers: Find GitHub repos for “MCP server implementations” or arXiv papers on “chain-of-thought prompting” without leaving your workflow.
