Exa Agent Skills
Official Exa skills for Claude Code — semantic search, contents, company research, lead generation.
About
The official Exa agent skills repository (github.com/exa-labs/agent-skills) teaches Claude Code to use Exa's semantic search API correctly: exa-search for neural search with structured output schemas, exa-contents for full-page extraction, build-with-exa for API integration guidance, plus company-research and lead-generation workflow skills. The skills document output schema caps, search types, and agent API patterns so the model doesn't hallucinate parameters.
The honest picture: the repo carries no LICENSE file, which matters for organizations with strict IP policies. Exa is a paid API — the skills are useless without an API key and budget. The repo is small (57 stars) and updated in bursts rather than continuously. But for agents doing web research, Exa's semantic search materially outperforms keyword search.
