About this pack

AI Search APIs Compared 2026 is a hand-picked TokRepo arsenal pack — 8 AI assets bundled together so you can install the whole stack with one command. Each asset has been verified live (status=public, current download), tagged with its primary type, and curated to work alongside the others in this pack.

To install, run `tokrepo install pack/ai-search-apis-compared` in your terminal — or hand the same command to your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Cline, Roo Code, Windsurf are all supported). The TokRepo Node CLI fetches each asset from the TokRepo registry, places skill files into `.claude/skills/`, prompts into your prompt directory, MCP servers into your client config, and surfaces a summary of what was installed.

Without a pack, you would need to discover, vet, and install each of these 8 assets one by one — typically 30 to 60 minutes per asset. The pack collapses that into a single command, and stays current as the underlying assets get re-published. If any asset goes private or is removed, the pack auto-detects it and skips that entry on next install — no broken bundle.
