What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Use when a coding task needs Exa Code context, practical library examples, API syntax, framework setup, or repository-grounded snippets beyond local code.

Exa Context

Use Exa Context as an API-backed code_context provider when a code role needs token-efficient examples from GitHub repositories, docs pages, Stack Overflow posts, and related technical sources.

Exa configuration is shared with all Exa skills through provider-manager.

Before Use

Resolve the installed ArkSpace package root before running commands. Replace <installed-arkspace-path> with the directory two levels above this loaded SKILL.md, such as /Users/<user>/.claude/plugins/cache/ark-space/ark-space/0.1.2. Use the installed package path, not a repository-relative command.

Check configuration:

python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py provider check exa --capability code_context

Configure Exa once:

python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py provider setup exa --wizard

Missing Configuration Recovery

If the provider check reports a missing Exa API key:

Ask the user whether to start setup now: "Exa is not configured. Should I start the ArkSpace setup wizard now?"
Present exactly two choices:
- "Start setup wizard" - start interactive setup with python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py provider setup exa --wizard.
- "Not now" - leave Exa unconfigured; if the user still wants results, ask whether to continue with another registered provider or a clearly labeled non-ArkSpace fallback.
Run the setup command only when the host shell can provide interactive secret input. If the shell is non-interactive, do not run --wizard through that tool.
In Claude Code non-interactive tool sessions, offer:
- run ! python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py provider setup exa --wizard in the Claude prompt or terminal, or
- paste the API key in chat and let the agent save it with python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py provider setup exa --save-secret EXA_API_KEY --secret-stdin.
Re-run the provider check after setup.
If setup succeeds, rerun or tell the user to rerun the original invocation, such as /ark-space:exa-context <query>.
Do not return Exa Context results until the provider check succeeds.

Helper Script

Get code context:

python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py code context --provider exa "React hooks state management examples" --output markdown

Control token budget:

python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py code context --provider exa "Next.js app router auth middleware" --tokens 10000 --output json

Routing Notes

Prefer Exa Context for implementation questions, API syntax, library examples, framework setup, and repository-grounded coding patterns.
Prefer local repository inspection when the answer is already in the current codebase.
Prefer exa-search when the user wants candidate source URLs rather than ready-to-use code context.
