Agent Skills

The arex Skill lets an agent search, read pages and research through the arex CLI.

Install

Install the CLI (Node.js 22 or later), save your key with arex setup, then install the Skill. It goes to ~/.agents/skills/arex.

Shell

npm install -g @arex-research/cli
arex setup
arex skill install

Install for one project

--scope project installs it to ./.agents/skills/arex so the repository can share it. arex skill path prints where it is. If your agent reads Skills from another folder, copy it there.

Shell

arex skill install --scope project
arex skill path --scope project

What the agent runs

The agent checks setup with arex doctor, then runs commands with --json. arex research waits for the answer and its sources.

Shell

arex doctor --json
arex search "recent advances in AI agents" --json
arex research "Compare current agent evaluation frameworks" --json

Short command timeouts

Start research with --detach to get the Run id at once, then wait with arex run wait. If waiting stops, wait on the same id again instead of starting a new Run.

Shell

arex research "Compare current agent evaluation frameworks" --detach --json
arex run wait <run-id> --json
