Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/glitch003/vincent-brave-searchWhat This Skill Does
Vincent - Brave Search provides autonomous agents with robust, real-time access to the global web and current news cycles. By leveraging the Brave Search API through a secure, proxy-based architecture, this skill allows your agent to fetch up-to-date information, verify facts, and stay informed on global events without requiring you to manage individual API keys or infrastructure. All requests are routed through the Vincent backend, which handles credit-based authentication and rate limiting, ensuring a seamless experience for your agent's research tasks.
Installation
To add this skill to your environment, use the OpenClaw CLI command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/glitch003/vincent-brave-search. Once installed, the agent will verify if a DATA_SOURCES secret exists. If not, the agent will trigger the creation process, returning a unique keyId and a claim URL. You must visit the provided URL at heyvincent.ai to finalize ownership, associate a payment method, and fund your credits before the agent can successfully execute search queries.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for agents performing market research, news summarization, or competitive intelligence. Use it to find the latest updates on specific industries, gather data for reports, or perform preliminary fact-checking. It is particularly effective for agents that need to cross-reference multiple sources to provide a comprehensive answer to a user query. Because it is pay-per-call, it works best for scenarios where precision and freshness are more important than mass scraping.
Example Prompts
- "Search the web and provide a summary of the latest developments in renewable energy policy as of today."
- "Look up current events regarding the recent tech market trends and summarize the top three news articles."
- "Find information on the upcoming OpenClaw developer conference and tell me the official registration link."
Tips & Limitations
Keep in mind that this is a pay-per-call service; ensure your credit balance is regularly monitored to avoid service interruptions. The agent receives a _vincent.creditRemainingUsd field in every response, which you can use to programmatically warn the user if balance is low. This skill is intended for information retrieval; it cannot interact with paywalled content or bypass site-specific authentication. Ensure your agent is configured to handle network latency gracefully, as the search speed depends on external upstream providers.
