--- name: flow-search description: Deep web research using Claude's native search tool. Use for comprehensive research, market analysis, competitor intelligence, or when standard search isn't enough. Free from the Flow team. metadata: clawdbot: emoji: "🔍" requires: env: - name: CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN description: Claude Code auth token — run `claude auth login` to get one. Required for all searches. spawns: - process: claude reason: Executes Claude CLI as a subprocess to perform native web search with synthesis. Inherits shell environment to access CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN. No data is sent anywhere else. --- # FlowSearch — Deep Web Research **Free deep research powered by Claude Max subscription.** Stop getting shallow answers. FlowSearch uses Claude's native search to go wide and deep — pulling from multiple sources, synthesizing conflicting information, and giving you the kind of answer a thorough analyst would write, not a one-liner. ## How it works FlowSearch spawns Claude CLI as a subprocess with your `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`. Claude performs multi-source web search, synthesizes the results, and returns a structured report. No data is sent to third-party APIs — it's just Claude doing what Claude does best. > **Security note:** This skill spawns a `claude` process that inherits your shell environment to access `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`. Review the source (`search.ts`) before running — it's 150 lines and straightforward. ## Prerequisites 1. **Claude Code CLI** — install from [claude.ai/code](https://claude.ai/code) 2. **Authenticate:** run `claude auth login` (opens browser) 3. **Claude Max subscription** recommended for best results (more search depth) ## Installation ```bash npx clawhub@latest install flow-search cd ~/.openclaw/skills/flow-search npm install ``` ## Usage ### Quick search (15–30s) ```bash npx tsx search.ts "Kling AI pricing 2026" ``` ### Deep research (60–180s) ```bash npx tsx search.ts --deep "AI video generation competitive landscape" ``` ### In your own skills or agents ```typescript import { claudeSearch, claudeResearch } from "./search.ts"; // Quick answer with sources const result = await claudeSearch("What is Kling AI pricing?"); if (result.success) console.log(result.answer); // Deep research with guiding questions const report = await claudeResearch("AI video market 2026", [ "Who are the top 5 players and their pricing?", "What's the total addressable market?", "Which companies raised funding in the last 6 months?" ]); ``` ## Output format **Quick search** returns a direct answer with cited sources. **Deep research** (`--deep`) returns a full structured report: ``` ## Summary 2–3 sentence overview of findings. ## Key Findings - Specific fact with source - Specific fact with source - ... ## Details Full analysis with context. ## Sources - [Publication Name](https://url) ``` ## When to use FlowSearch vs Brave Search | Use FlowSearch | Use Brave | |----------------|-----------| | Market analysis | Quick fact check | | Competitor deep-dives | Single answer needed | | Multi-source synthesis | Fast lookup | | Recent news + context | Basic info | | "What's the full picture on X?" | "What year was X founded?" | ## Environment variables | Variable | Required | Description | |----------|----------|-------------| | `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` | Yes | From `claude auth login` | ## Options | Flag | Description | |------|-------------| | `--deep` / `-d` | Deep research mode (slower, more thorough) | | `--help` / `-h` | Show usage | ## Integration example — use inside another OpenClaw skill ```typescript // In your skill's handler import { claudeResearch } from "~/.openclaw/skills/flow-search/search.ts"; const intel = await claudeResearch(`Competitor analysis: ${companyName}`, [ "What are their pricing tiers?", "Who are their target customers?", "What are their main weaknesses?" ]); if (intel.success) { // Pass intel.answer to your LLM or store it } ``` ## Timeouts - Quick search: 2 minutes max - Deep research: 3 minutes max ## About Built by the [Flow team](https://clawhub.com/windseeker1111).
