minimax-web-search（极小极大网络搜索）

MiniMax Web Search Skill

Use this skill when you need to find current, real-time, or authoritative information that may have changed since my knowledge cutoff.

How to Use

Call the web_search tool directly with a query:

web_search({ query: "your search query" })

When to Use

Use web_search when:

• Current events: News, recent developments, latest releases
• Fact verification: Checking if information is still accurate
• Technical updates: New versions, patches, breaking changes
• Dynamic content: Prices, availability, schedules
• Authoritative sources: Official documentation, API references

When NOT to Use

Do NOT use web_search when:

• General knowledge I likely know (historical facts, basic concepts)
• Coding help for common patterns (unless asking about latest practices)
• Opinion-based questions without specific recent information needs
• Files already in context or accessible via read tool

Usage

web_search({
  query: "your search query here"
})

Tips for Better Results

1. Be specific: "TypeScript 5.4 new features" vs "TypeScript updates"
2. Include context: "React 19 server components vs client components"
3. Use recent keywords: "2024" or "2025" when timing matters
4. Target authoritative sources: Include product names, official sites
5. Use 3-5 keywords for optimal results

Examples

Good Queries

• "Node.js 22 new features"
• "Claude Code vs pi coding agent 2025"
• "React 19 release date official"
• "Docker desktop alternatives 2024"
• "TypeScript 5.4 generics tutorial"

Poor Queries

• "how to use TypeScript" (too general)
• "is Python popular" (opinion, not time-sensitive)
• "help me debug my code" (not a search task)
• "best programming language" (opinion-based)

Response Format

Results include:

• Titles and URLs for each result
• Snippets with relevant context
• Dates when available
• Related searches for follow-up queries

You can use the suggestions to refine your search or ask the user which direction they'd like to explore.
