Web Forager

The thing about information on the web is that it doesn’t want to be found. It hides behind cookie banners, contradicts itself across twelve tabs, and occasionally insists that a press release counts as independent evidence. Web Forager goes looking anyway, accompanied by a duck of questionable temperament. It searches, reads, checks claims, follows the news, maps competitors, evaluates technology, and attempts to explain why governments are glaring at one another. It reads the links and brings back a cited answer.

Web Forager gives AI agents practical web research workflows as Agent Skills. The skills search DuckDuckGo, monitor news, fetch pages, and synthesize cited answers.

Default usage is skill-first. You do not need to configure an MCP server to use the research workflows.

Quickstart

Install all seven skills with one command. It works for 50+ coding agents:

npx skills@latest add CyranoB/web-forager

The installer detects your agents, asks which skills you want, and places them in the right location.

Common variations:

npx skills@latest add CyranoB/web-forager --list
npx skills@latest add CyranoB/web-forager --skill deep-research
npx skills@latest add CyranoB/web-forager --skill '*' -a claude-code -a codex -y

Install for your coding tool

Install as skills/plugins when your agent supports them. Use MCP only when your tool does not support skills, or when you want raw search/fetch tools instead of guided research workflows.

Install the skills for the current project:

npx skills@latest add CyranoB/web-forager -a codex
