# Exa Answer
Use Exa Answer as an API-backed `deep_research` provider for concise cited synthesis. This is not the same as a long research report; use Tavily Research when the user asks for a comprehensive report or extended market analysis.
Exa configuration is shared with all Exa skills through `provider-manager`.

## Before Use
Resolve the installed ArkSpace package root before running commands. Replace `<installed-arkspace-path>` with the directory two levels above this loaded `SKILL.md`, such as `/Users/<user>/.claude/plugins/cache/ark-space/ark-space/0.1.2`. Use the installed package path, not a repository-relative command.
Check configuration:
```bash
python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py provider check exa --capability deep_research
```
Configure Exa once:
```bash
python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py provider setup exa --wizard
```
## Missing Configuration Recovery
If the provider check reports a missing Exa API key:
1. Ask the user whether to start setup now: "Exa is not configured. Should I start the ArkSpace setup wizard now?"
2. Present exactly two choices:
- "Start setup wizard" - start interactive setup with `python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py provider setup exa --wizard`.
- "Not now" - leave Exa unconfigured; if the user still wants results, ask whet
