# Install Tavily Search in Google Antigravity

Source: https://github.com/tavily-ai/skills/tree/main/skills/tavily-search
Listing: https://www.antigravityskills.org/skill/tavily-search
Safety review (2026-10-21): Instruction-only skill that sends searches to Tavily through the tvly CLI; the main thing to check is the curl-to-bash CLI installer.

## Rules for the agent
- Before running anything, tell the user what you will download and whether it contains scripts, and ask them to confirm.
- Install into this project (.agents/skills/) unless the user asks for a global install (~/.gemini/config/skills/).
- Do not run other commands from the source repository unless the user asks.

## Steps
1. Clone the repository

```bash
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/tavily-ai/skills.git /tmp/tavily-skills
```

   Download Tavily's official skills repo.
2. Copy into your workspace

```bash
mkdir -p .agents/skills && cp -R /tmp/tavily-skills/skills/tavily-search /tmp/tavily-skills/skills/tavily-cli .agents/skills/
```

   Run from your project root. tavily-search links to ../tavily-cli for setup, so copy both folders.
3. Or install globally

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.gemini/config/skills && cp -R /tmp/tavily-skills/skills/tavily-search /tmp/tavily-skills/skills/tavily-cli ~/.gemini/config/skills/
```

   Use this instead of the previous step to make the skills available in every project.
4. Install the CLI and check

```bash
uv tool install tavily-cli
```

   Or `pip install tavily-cli`. Then ask "What skills do you have?" in Antigravity (Antigravity CLI: /skills), or ask "What skills do you have?", and confirm tavily-search is listed.

Note: Needs the tvly CLI. Search works keyless up to a cap; map, crawl and research need a Tavily login (`tvly login`) or TAVILY_API_KEY. The skills README does not mention Antigravity, so this manual copy is our path, not the project's; `tvly init` will not set Antigravity up for you. The CLI talks to Tavily's service (mcp.tavily.com and the Tavily API), so Antigravity must be allowed to run `tvly` and reach the internet.

Done when the skill is listed: in the Antigravity 2.0 app ask "What skills do you have?" in a new conversation (the app has no /skills command); in the Antigravity CLI run /skills (run /skills reload first in a session that was already open).
