web_search_xray

web_search_xray is an agent skill for running broad, source-backed web research with explicit query planning, source triage, and evidence-quality checks.

It is packaged for both:

• Codex, via a standard SKILL.md skill directory
• Claude Code, as either a standalone skill or a plugin marketplace entry

What The Skill Does

The skill helps an agent:

• generate 5 to 10 diverse web queries before searching
• run searches and page fetches in parallel instead of one-by-one
• rank sources by authority, recency, and directness
• synthesize findings into a concise report with explicit citations
• surface disagreements, weak evidence, and time-sensitive claims

The core workflow intentionally preserves the structure of maratha_web_search, then adds stricter "xray" behavior for evidence quality and answer auditability.

Prerequisites

• The environment must support web search and page-fetch/open tools
• The model should have permission to browse when the task requires it

Install In Claude Code

Option 1: Install As A Standalone Skill

For personal use, copy or symlink the skill into ~/.claude/skills/web_search_xray:

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
ln -s /path/to/web_search_xray/skills/web_search_xray ~/.claude/skills/web_search_xray

For one repository only, copy or symlink it into .claude/skills/web_search_xray inside that project:

mkdir -p .claude/skills
ln -s /path/to/web_search_xray/skills/web_search_xray .claude/skills/web_search_xray

Once installed as a standalone skill, invoke it as:

/web_search_xray

Option 2: Install As A Plugin

Add this repository as a marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add marathan24/web_search_xray

Install the plugin:

/plugin install web_search_xray@web_search_xray

When installed as a plugin, invoke it as:

/web_search_xray:web_search_xray

Install In Codex

Install the published skill directly from the skill folder:

$skill-installer install https://github.com/marathan24/web_search_xray/tree/main/skills/web_search_xray

Example Prompts

• Search the web for the latest changes to the X API follows endpoints and summarize the official docs first.
• Research the best public sources on reward hacking in RL and tell me where the definitions disagree.
• Find the strongest primary sources on a new LLM release and separate stated facts from inferences.
