Tavily Map

Use Tavily Map as an API-backed site-discovery provider when ArkSpace needs URLs from a known site without extracting page content.

Tavily configuration is shared with all Tavily 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 tavily --capability web_map

Configure Tavily once:

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

Missing Configuration Recovery

If the provider check reports a missing Tavily API key or missing Tavily capability:

1. Ask the user whether to start setup now: "Tavily is not configured. Should I start the ArkSpace setup wizard now?"
2. Present exactly two choices:

• "Start setup wizard" - start interactive setup with python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py provider setup tavily --wizard.
• "Not now" - leave Tavily unconfigured; if the user still wants results, ask whether to continue with a clearly labeled non-ArkSpace fallback.

1. Run the setup command for the user only when the host shell can provide interactive secret input. If the shell is non-interactive, do not run --wizard through that tool.
2. In Claude Code non-interactive tool sessions, tell the user the wizard needs interactive secret input and offer:

• run ! python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py provider setup tavily --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 tavily --save-secret TAVILY_API_KEY --secret-stdin.

1. Re-run the provider check after setup.
2. If setup succeeds, rerun or tell the user to rerun the original invocation, such as /ark-space:tavily-map <url>.
3. Do not return Tavily Map results until the provider check succeeds.
4. If the user declines, defers, or cannot complete setup and still wants results, ask whether to continue with a clearly labeled non-ArkSpace fallback.

Helper Script

Basic map:

python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py site map --provider tavily "https://docs.example.com" --output json

Focused URL discovery:

python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py site map --provider tavily "https://docs.example.com" \
  --instructions "Find API authentication pages" \
  --max-depth 2 \
  --limit 100 \
  --output json

Path-filtered map:

python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py site map --provider tavily "https://example.com" \
  --select-paths "/docs/.*,/api/.*" \
  --exclude-paths "/blog/.*" \
  --output json

Routing Notes

• Use tavily-map when URL discovery is the task.
• Use tavily-extract after mapping when only a few discovered URLs need content.
• Use tavily-crawl when the user needs content from many pages in a site section.
