Add Python DDGS library examples for all 4 search types (text, news,
images, videos) with return field documentation, quick reference table,
and validated gotchas. Reorganize to put Python API primary, CLI secondary.
Soften Firecrawl-fallback framing. All examples validated on ddgs==9.11.2.
Follow-up to PR #267 merge:
- Fix CLI syntax: -k is keywords, -m is max results (was reversed)
- Add clear trigger condition: use only when web_search tool unavailable
- Remove misleading curl fallback (DuckDuckGo Instant Answer API is not
a web search endpoint)
- Fix package name: ddgs (renamed from duckduckgo-search)
- Add workflow section for search → web_extract pipeline
- Add pitfalls and limitations sections
- Fix author attribution to actual contributor
- Rewrite shell script as simple ddgs wrapper with availability check
- Introduced a new skill for searching and retrieving academic papers from arXiv using their REST API, allowing searches by keyword, author, category, or ID.
- Added a helper script for clean output of search results, including options for sorting and filtering.
- Created a DESCRIPTION.md file outlining the purpose and functionality of the research skills.
