πŸ“– About This Skill


name: kagi-enrich description: Search Kagi's unique non-commercial web (Teclis) and non-mainstream news (TinyGem) indexes for independent, ad-free content you won't find in regular search results. Use when you want to discover small-web sites, independent blogs, niche discussions, or non-mainstream news on a topic.

Kagi Enrichment

Search Kagi's proprietary enrichment indexes using the Kagi Enrichment API. These are Kagi's "secret sauce" β€” curated indexes of non-commercial and independent content that complement mainstream search results.

Two indexes are available:

| Index | Backend | Best for | |-------|---------|----------| | web | Teclis | Independent websites, personal blogs, open-source projects, non-commercial content | | news | TinyGem | Non-mainstream news sources, interesting discussions, off-the-beaten-path journalism |

This skill uses a Go binary for fast startup and zero runtime dependencies. The binary can be downloaded pre-built or compiled from source.

Setup

Requires a Kagi account with API access enabled. Uses the same KAGI_API_KEY as all other kagi-* skills.

1. Create an account at https://kagi.com/signup 2. Navigate to Settings β†’ Advanced β†’ API portal: https://kagi.com/settings/api 3. Generate an API Token 4. Add funds at: https://kagi.com/settings/billing_api 5. Add to your shell profile (~/.profile or ~/.zprofile):

   export KAGI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
   
6. Install the binary β€” see Installation below

Pricing

$2 per 1,000 searches ($0.002 per query). Billed only when non-zero results are returned.

Usage

# Search the independent web (Teclis index) β€” default
{baseDir}/kagi-enrich.sh web "rust async programming"
{baseDir}/kagi-enrich.sh "rust async programming"        # web is the default

Search non-mainstream news (TinyGem index)

{baseDir}/kagi-enrich.sh news "open source AI"

Limit number of results

{baseDir}/kagi-enrich.sh web "sqlite internals" -n 5

JSON output

{baseDir}/kagi-enrich.sh web "zig programming language" --json {baseDir}/kagi-enrich.sh news "climate change solutions" --json

Custom timeout

{baseDir}/kagi-enrich.sh web "query" --timeout 30

Options

| Flag | Description | |------|-------------| | -n | Max results to display (default: all returned) | | --json | Emit JSON output | | --timeout | HTTP timeout in seconds (default: 15) |

When to Use

  • Use web when you want independent, non-commercial perspectives on a topic β€” personal blogs, indie projects, academic pages, niche communities β€” results that mainstream search drowns out with SEO-optimized commercial sites
  • Use news when you want news and discussions from sources outside the mainstream media cycle β€” niche outlets, Hacker News threads, Reddit discussions, independent journalists
  • Combine with kagi-search for the most complete picture: kagi-search for high-quality general results, kagi-enrich web for independent voices, kagi-enrich news for alternative news angles
  • Use kagi-fastgpt instead when you need a synthesized answer rather than a list of sources
  • Note on result counts

    The enrichment indexes are intentionally niche β€” they may return fewer results than general search. No results for a query means no relevant content was found in that index (and you won't be billed).

    Installation

    Option A β€” Download pre-built binary (no Go required)

    OS=$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
    ARCH=$(uname -m)
    case "$ARCH" in
      x86_64)        ARCH="amd64" ;;
      aarch64|arm64) ARCH="arm64" ;;
    esac

    TAG=$(curl -fsSL "https://api.github.com/repos/joelazar/kagi-skills/releases/latest" | grep '"tag_name"' | cut -d'"' -f4) BINARY="kagi-enrich_${TAG}_${OS}_${ARCH}"

    mkdir -p {baseDir}/.bin curl -fsSL "https://github.com/joelazar/kagi-skills/releases/download/${TAG}/${BINARY}" \ -o {baseDir}/.bin/kagi-enrich chmod +x {baseDir}/.bin/kagi-enrich

    Verify checksum (recommended)

    curl -fsSL "https://github.com/joelazar/kagi-skills/releases/download/${TAG}/checksums.txt" | \ grep "${BINARY}" | sha256sum --check

    Pre-built binaries are available for Linux and macOS (amd64 + arm64) and Windows (amd64).

    Option B β€” Build from source (requires Go 1.26+)

    cd {baseDir} && go build -o .bin/kagi-enrich .
    

    Alternatively, just run {baseDir}/kagi-enrich.sh directly β€” the wrapper auto-builds on first run if Go is available.

    The binary has no external dependencies β€” only the Go standard library.

    ⚑ When to Use

    TriggerAction
    - **Use `news`** when you want news and discussions from sources outside the mainstream media cycle β€” niche outlets, Hacker News threads, Reddit discussions, independent journalists
    - **Combine with `kagi-search`** for the most complete picture: `kagi-search` for high-quality general results, `kagi-enrich web` for independent voices, `kagi-enrich news` for alternative news angles
    - **Use `kagi-fastgpt`** instead when you need a synthesized answer rather than a list of sources
    ### Note on result counts
    The enrichment indexes are intentionally niche β€” they may return fewer results than general search. No results for a query means no relevant content was found in that index (and you won't be billed).
