Official Tavily skills: web search, extraction, crawling, and deep research
About
Tavily's official pack gives agents eight skills built around the Tavily CLI: web search with LLM-optimized results, content extraction from JS-rendered pages, site crawling and URL mapping, and multi-source deep research with citations, plus a dynamic-search skill that filters large results without flooding context. A guided tvly init handles auth, agent detection, and install verification. The trade-off is real: it is a CLI-driven workflow, and map, crawl, and research require a Tavily account and API key, though search and extract work keyless within rate limits.
