se - Stack Exchange CLI Browser
The se module allows users to search the entire Stack Exchange network, including Stack Overflow and Ask Ubuntu, and browse questions and answers directly in the terminal.
When to Activate
- When the user has a specific technical problem and wants to search Stack Overflow.
- When browsing answers for a specific question ID.
- When searching platform-specific sites like Ask Ubuntu for system-related issues.
Core Principles & Rules
- Site Selection: Support for site-specific prefixes like
:so(Stack Overflow) and:au(Ask Ubuntu). - Interactive TUI: Use
--appto browse question answers in a structured terminal UI. - Search Integration: Uses DuckDuckGo for broader search within the SE ecosystem if needed.
Patterns & Examples
Search Stack Overflow
# Search for JSON parsing issues in Python on Stack Overflow
x se :so "python json parse error"
View Answers
# Get all answers for a specific question ID
x se question --showall 75261408
Interactive App
# Browse question answers in an interactive TUI
x se question --app 75261408
Checklist
- Confirm if the search should be limited to a specific SE site (e.g., Stack Overflow).
- Verify if the user has a specific question ID or needs to perform a keyword search.
- Check if the interactive view or raw output is preferred.
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
pufferlib
High-performance reinforcement learning framework optimized for speed and scale. Use when you need fast parallel training, vectorized environments, multi-agent systems, or integration with game environments (Atari, Procgen, NetHack). Achieves 2-10x speedups over standard implementations. For quick prototyping or standard algorithm implementations with extensive documentation, use stable-baselines3 instead.
fluidsim
Framework for computational fluid dynamics simulations using Python. Use when running fluid dynamics simulations including Navier-Stokes equations (2D/3D), shallow water equations, stratified flows, or when analyzing turbulence, vortex dynamics, or geophysical flows. Provides pseudospectral methods with FFT, HPC support, and comprehensive output analysis.
metabolomics-workbench-database
Access NIH Metabolomics Workbench via REST API (4,200+ studies). Query metabolites, RefMet nomenclature, MS/NMR data, m/z searches, study metadata, for metabolomics and biomarker discovery.
geniml
This skill should be used when working with genomic interval data (BED files) for machine learning tasks. Use for training region embeddings (Region2Vec, BEDspace), single-cell ATAC-seq analysis (scEmbed), building consensus peaks (universes), or any ML-based analysis of genomic regions. Applies to BED file collections, scATAC-seq data, chromatin accessibility datasets, and region-based genomic feature learning.
zinc-database
Access ZINC (230M+ purchasable compounds). Search by ZINC ID/SMILES, similarity searches, 3D-ready structures for docking, analog discovery, for virtual screening and drug discovery.
astropy
Comprehensive Python library for astronomy and astrophysics. This skill should be used when working with astronomical data including celestial coordinates, physical units, FITS files, cosmological calculations, time systems, tables, world coordinate systems (WCS), and astronomical data analysis. Use when tasks involve coordinate transformations, unit conversions, FITS file manipulation, cosmological distance calculations, time scale conversions, or astronomical data processing.
