Get key at https://dashboard.exa.ai ## Token-Efficient Search Inspired by Anthropic's [dynamic filtering](https://claude.com/blog/improved-web-search-with-dynamic-filtering)—always filter before reasoning. ~24% fewer tokens, ~11% better accuracy. ### The Principle: Search Cheaply → Filter → Extract Selectively → Reason **DO:** ```bash # Step 1: Search with --no-text (titles/URLs only — cheapest) python3 ~/.claude/skills/exa-search/scripts/exa_search.py "query" -n 20 --no-text # Step 2: Evaluate titles, pick best 3-5 URLs # Step 3: Extract only those URLs with bounded content python3 ~/.claude/skills/exa-search/scripts/exa_contents.py URL1 URL2 --highlights --max-chars 3000 ``` **DON'T:** Search with full text for 50 results, then reason over all of it. ### Use API-Level Filters First (Free Filtering) These reduce results at the API level before you ever see them: - `--must-include "term"` — results must contain this string - `--must-exclude "term"` — removes irrelevant results - `--domains site1.com site2.com` — restrict to authoritative sources - `--category "research paper"` — eliminate irrelevant content types - `--after 2025-01-01` / `--before` — temporal filtering ### Use Summaries Over Full Text When you need the gist, not raw content: ```bash
