Google Search Extension

Search Google through the local Frevana daemon and Chrome Extension session.

Purpose

This skill is for searching Google with a prompt/query using the Chrome Extension-backed Frevana MCP tool frevana_ask with fixed provider google.

Inputs:

• prompt (required) - one or more questions or instructions to send to Google Search
• prompt_file (optional) - UTF-8 text file with one prompt per non-empty line
• format (optional) - text or json, defaults to text
• timeout (optional) - Frevana tool timeout in milliseconds, default comes from the tool

Output:

• Google Search result/answer returned by Frevana

Return the answer directly unless the user asks for raw output or a saved file.

What This Skill Needs

• user-provided prompt
• bundled scripts/setup.sh wrapper, which downloads and runs the latest official Frevana setup script
• Frevana local daemon running after setup, default port 12306
• Chrome connected through the Frevana Chrome Extension; Google login may be required for some personalized or region/session-specific behavior
• curl
• bash
• python3

This is a Chrome Extension skill. It uses the local daemon and Chrome Extension session.

Execution Order

1. Confirm the user provided one or more prompts, or a prompt file with one prompt per non-empty line.
2. Prefer the script over ad hoc frevana call commands.
3. Do not invent optional timeout values. Default output format to text unless the user asks for JSON.
4. Let the script run bundled scripts/setup.sh before every Frevana tool call.
5. If setup reports Chrome disconnected, stop and tell the user to open Chrome, connect the Frevana extension, and retry.
6. Run the Google search only after setup succeeds.
7. If the call returns login/auth content or fails because Google Search is unavailable, tell the user to open Google in Chrome and sign in if needed.
8. Return text output by default. If format is json, return structured JSON with provider, count, and results.
9. Save output with --output when useful.

Commands

bash <skill-path>/scripts/search_google_extension.sh \
  --prompt "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"

bash <skill-path>/scripts/search_google_extension.sh \
  --prompt "Summarize this topic" \
  --timeout 120000 \
  --output ./out/google-answer.txt

bash <skill-path>/scripts/search_google_extension.sh \
  --prompt "Question 1" \
  --prompt "Question 2"

bash <skill-path>/scripts/search_google_extension.sh \
  --prompt-file ./prompts.txt \
  --format json \
  --output ./out/google-batch-answers.txt

Fixed Tool Call Shape

The script calls:

frevana call frevana_ask '<json_args>'

The JSON arguments use this shape:

{
  "provider": "google",
  "prompt": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms",
  "timeout": 120000
}

Always send provider: "google". Do not pass unsupported fields.

Notes

• Require at least one --prompt, --question, or --prompt-file.
• --prompt and --question may be repeated.
• --prompt-file reads one prompt per non-empty line.
• --format must be text or json; default is text.
• --timeout must be a positive integer when provided.
• scripts/setup.sh downloads and executes the latest official setup script from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FinpeakInc/frevana-cli-releases/refs/heads/main/skills/frevana/scripts/setup.sh.

Example Prompts

• "Search Google to explain quantum computing"
• "Use Google Search to answer this question: ..."
