Real-time web intelligence tools — search, extract, map, and crawl the live web via the Nimble CLI. Built on the open-source Agent Skills standard for cross-platform agent compatibility.

​
Tools Overview

ToolDescription
SearchAccurate, real-time web search — AI Agents search the live web to retrieve precise information. 8 focus modes: general, coding, news, academic, shopping, social, geo, location.
ExtractScalable data collection with stealth unblocking — get clean, real-time HTML and structured data from any URL. Supports JS rendering and browser emulation.
MapFast URL discovery and site structure mapping — easily plan extraction workflows.
CrawlExtract contents from entire websites in a single request — collect large volumes of web data automatically.

Quick Install

npx skills add Nimbleway/agent-skills

​
Prerequisites

​
1. Nimble CLI

Install the Nimble CLI globally: 
npm i -g @nimble-way/nimble-cli
Verify with: 
nimble --version

​
2. Nimble API Key

Get your key at online.nimbleway.com. Set the NIMBLE_API_KEY environment variable using your platform’s method:
Add to ~/.claude/settings.json:
{
  "env": {
    "NIMBLE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
  }
}

​
Quick Start

The nimble-web-tools skill activates automatically when you ask relevant questions: 
"Search for recent AI developments"
  -> nimble search --query "recent AI developments" --deep-search=false

"Extract the content from this URL"
  -> nimble extract --url "https://example.com" --parse --format markdown

"Map all the pages on this docs site"
  -> nimble map --url "https://docs.example.com" --limit 100

"Crawl the API docs section"
  -> nimble crawl run --url "https://docs.example.com/api" --limit 50

​
Command Examples

Accurate, real-time web search with 8 focus modes (general, coding, news, academic, shopping, social, geo, location). 
# Fast search (recommended — always use --deep-search=false)
nimble search --query "React hooks tutorial" --topic coding --deep-search=false

# Search with AI-generated answer summary
nimble search --query "what is WebAssembly" --include-answer --deep-search=false

# News search with time filter
nimble search --query "AI developments" --topic news --time-range week --deep-search=false

# Domain-filtered search
nimble search --query "auth best practices" \
  --include-domain github.com \
  --include-domain stackoverflow.com \
  --deep-search=false
Use --deep-search=false for fast responses (1-3s). The default deep mode fetches full page content and is 5-10x slower — only needed for archiving or full-text analysis.

​
Extract

Get clean, structured data from any URL with stealth unblocking and JS rendering. 
# Standard extraction (always use --parse --format markdown)
nimble extract --url "https://example.com/article" --parse --format markdown

# Render JavaScript for SPAs and dynamic content
nimble extract --url "https://example.com/app" --render --parse --format markdown

# Extract with geolocation
nimble extract --url "https://example.com" --country US --city "New York" --parse --format markdown

​
Map

Discover all URLs on a site to plan extraction workflows. 
# Map URLs on a site
nimble map --url "https://docs.example.com" --limit 100

# Include subdomains
nimble map --url "https://example.com" --domain-filter subdomains

​
Crawl

Extract content from entire websites asynchronously. 
# Start a crawl (always set --limit)
nimble crawl run --url "https://docs.example.com" --limit 50

# Crawl with path filtering
nimble crawl run --url "https://example.com" \
  --include-path "/docs" \
  --include-path "/api" \
  --limit 100

# Check crawl status
nimble crawl status --id "crawl-id"

# List all crawls
nimble crawl list
For LLM-friendly output, prefer map + extract --parse --format markdown on individual pages. Crawl returns raw HTML which can be very large.
