This repo is a minimal Exa web search skill for Prime Agent — a small, focused integration that plugs the Exa semantic search API into the Prime Agent framework. Rather than shipping a sprawling toolkit, it takes the "one skill, done well" approach: give your agent the ability to search the web with a modern, embedding-based search engine, and get out of the way.
Why is this interesting? A few reasons:
- Exa is genuinely different from Google-style search. It's designed for LLM consumption — results are semantically ranked, cleanly extractable, and tuned for the kind of open-ended queries agents actually make ("recent papers on retrieval-augmented reasoning" rather than "RAG papers 2025").
- Prime Agent is an emerging agent framework, and skills like this are the connective tissue that makes it useful. Every agent framework needs a good web search primitive, and the Exa API is a much better fit for agent workflows than scraping SERPs.
- The minimal scope is a feature. Small skills are easy to audit, easy to fork, and easy to learn from. If you want to write your own Prime Agent skill — for a different API, an internal tool, whatever — this is a clean reference implementation.
Who should check it out?
- Developers building on Prime Agent who need web search out of the box.
- Folks evaluating Exa vs. Tavily vs. Perplexity vs. Brave Search as their agent's search backend — a working integration beats reading docs.
- Anyone learning how agent "skills" or "tools" are typically structured, since the small surface area makes it a good study piece.
Zero stars right now, but this is exactly the kind of quiet, useful glue code that tends to get discovered when someone finally googles "prime agent exa" and finds a repo that just works.
