AIsa Smart Search

Intelligent hybrid search that combines web and academic sources using the AIsa Smart Search endpoint. Automatically blends general web results with scholarly articles for comprehensive coverage.

Setup

This skill requires the AISA_API_KEY environment variable. When installed as a Claude plugin, the key is configured via the environment variables.

Usage

Run the search client with the smart subcommand:

python3 scripts/search_client.py smart --query "<search query>" --count <max_results>

Arguments

Argument	Required	Default	Description
--query / -q	Yes	—	Search query
--count / -c	No	10	Maximum number of results (1–100)

Example

python3 scripts/search_client.py smart --query "impact of large language models on software engineering" --count 10

Output

The script prints a mixed set of results from both web and academic sources, including titles, URLs, and content snippets.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user's query spans both general knowledge and academic research. For example, questions about emerging technologies, scientific topics with practical applications, or any query where both web articles and papers would be valuable.
