Searches the web and fetches pages through DeepSeek's Search and Fetch APIs using DEEPSEEK_API_KEY, and routes model-side web search on DeepSeek models. Use to search or fetch with DeepSeek, check its search spend, or debug its 429s, 404 fetches or empty results. Not for DeepSeek chat or other search providers.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'deepseek-search' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'deepseek-search' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named deepseek-search already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/jpcaparas/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'e1b479afa6c172f6d5a6087b6e19d7c0580b8a4e' -- 'skills/research/deepseek-search' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/research/deepseek-search' ~/.agents/skills/'deepseek-search' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'deepseek-search' ~/.claude/skills/'deepseek-search' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
