Search the web with LLM-optimized results via the Tavily CLI. Use this skill when the user wants to search the web, find articles, look up information, get recent news, discover sources, or says "search for", "find me", "look up", "what's the latest on", "find articles about", or needs current information from the internet. Returns relevant results with content snippets, relevance scores, and metadata — optimized for LLM consumption. Supports domain filtering, time ranges, and multiple search depths.

```

## From README

tavily search Web search returning LLM-optimized results with content snippets and relevance scores. Before running Run search directly when tvly is available. Search supports capped keyless access, so do not look for an API key or authenticate before the first request. If tvly is missing, follow the tavily-cli before retrying. If the keyless cap is reached in an interactive session, run tvly login to open browser OAuth, then retry the original search once. In an unattended environment, report the cap and authentication options instead of starting an interactive flow. Do not start a second login immediately after guided has completed.
