Set Up Comet Skill for Claude Code (2026)

An r/codex post: web research inside Claude Code/Codex blocks the agent or dumps 10K tokens. Comet Skill delegates. This walks the setup.

Prerequisites

Perplexity Pro subscription
Comet desktop installed and signed in
Claude Code or Codex CLI
Scavio API key

Walkthrough

Step 1: Clone Comet Skill repo

github.com/ammarshah1n/comet-skill.

Bash

git clone https://github.com/ammarshah1n/comet-skill.git
cd comet-skill

Step 2: Install per repo README

Small Node/Python install + CDP setup.

Text

// Follow repo's install steps.

Step 3: Verify Comet desktop is running with logged-in Pro session

CDP connects to the open browser instance.

Text

// Open Comet, verify Pro account is signed in.

Step 4: Attach Scavio MCP for fast typed lookups

Pair Comet (deep research) with Scavio (fast typed search).

Bash

claude mcp add scavio https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp --header 'x-api-key: $SCAVIO_API_KEY'

Step 5: System prompt routing rule

Explicit.

Text

// CLAUDE.md: 'For fast typed lookups call scavio.search. For deep multi-step research call comet_research; do NOT block waiting.'

Step 6: Test the flow

Trigger a deep research request.

Text

// 'Research the current state of long-horizon agent infrastructure. Use comet_research; don't block.'

Step 7: Verify agent stays unblocked

Comet returns a /search/<id> URL fast.

Text

// Watch Claude's tool log: comet_research returns within seconds.

Python Example

Python

# Cost: $0 marginal API on deep research (uses Pro). Scavio $30/mo for fast lookups.

JavaScript Example

JavaScript

// Same setup.

Expected Output

JSON

Claude Code with two clearly-named research tools: scavio.search (fast typed JSON) and comet_research (delegated, returns URL).
