exa-hello-world

Create a minimal working Exa search example with real results. Use when starting a new Exa integration, testing your setup, or learning basic search, searchAndContents, and findSimilar patterns. Trigger with phrases like "exa hello world", "exa example", "exa quick start", "simple exa search", "first exa query".

Quality

Content

85%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A strong, highly actionable quickstart with executable code and clear step sequencing, slightly held back by redundancy between the step-by-step snippets and the combined runnable script. Organization and references are appropriate for a self-contained skill.

Suggestions

Trim redundancy: keep either the per-step snippets or the 'Complete Runnable Script' in Examples as the primary artifact rather than duplicating both, to reduce token cost.

Drop or shorten the 'Output' section — it restates results the code already prints, so the code can speak for itself.

Resolve the findSimilarAndContents (Step 3) vs findSimilar (Examples) inconsistency so the runnable script matches the documented API surface.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Mostly efficient with SDK-specific comments that earn their place, but the per-step snippets in Instructions overlap with the 'Complete Runnable Script' in Examples, and the Output section restates what the code already prints — so it could be tightened.	2 / 3
Actionability	Fully executable TypeScript with real SDK calls, concrete parameters, exact prerequisites ('npm install exa-js', EXA_API_KEY, Node 18+), and a copy-paste runnable script.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Clearly sequenced Step 1–4 progressing from metadata-only search to contents to similarity to known-URL retrieval; operations are read-only so no validation loop is required, and the error table supplies recovery guidance.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	Self-contained quickstart with well-organized sections and clearly signaled one-level-deep external links (Resources, Next Steps); no bundle files exist to disclose into, so inline content is appropriate for a hello-world skill.	3 / 3

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is well-crafted: third-person voice, an explicit 'Use when' clause, concrete SDK operations, and natural trigger phrases. It cleanly satisfies all four dimensions with no fluff or over-claims.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names multiple concrete operations — 'basic search, searchAndContents, and findSimilar patterns' — plus 'Create a minimal working Exa search example with real results', matching the multi-action anchor rather than vague language.	3 / 3
Completeness	Explicitly answers what ('Create a minimal working Exa search example with real results') and when ('Use when starting a new Exa integration, testing your setup...'), with explicit trigger guidance, so it is not capped at 2.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Provides natural phrases a user would actually say — 'exa hello world', 'exa example', 'exa quick start', 'simple exa search', 'first exa query' — with good coverage of getting-started variations.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Niche Exa quickstart triggers ('exa hello world', 'exa quick start', 'first exa query') are scoped to getting-started intent and unlikely to fire for unrelated or production-pattern skills.	3 / 3
