SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? This Skill gives agents a terminal-native way to use Parallel's vendor stack for web search, URL extraction, deep research, data enrichment, entity discovery, and monitoring, with JSON output and non-interactive async workflows. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Search & Extraction: Run structured web searches with domain and date filters, and extract clean markdown content from URLs with optional objectives. - Deep Research & Enrichment: Launch async multi-step research jobs with processor tiers, poll for results, and enrich CSV/JSON datasets with web-inferred columns. - FindAll & Monitoring: Discover web-scale entity sets and create monitors for recurring change detection on pages or sources. - Use Case: Launch an async deep research job comparing AI coding agents with research run --no-wait --json, continue other work, then poll the run ID and summarize the final report with citations. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to use parallel-cli to search for a topic with JSON output, for example by requesting a cited summary of the latest news on a company.

Frequently Asked Questions about parallel-cli

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a web search with parallel-cli?▼

Run parallel-cli search with your query and the --json flag for structured output. You can narrow results with --include-domains, --exclude-domains, --after-date, and --max-results, and save large outputs to a temp file with -o.

How to run async deep research jobs with Parallel CLI?▼

Launch with parallel-cli research run followed by your question, --processor tier, --no-wait, and --json to get a run ID immediately. Later check progress with research status or research poll using that ID, then summarize the returned report with citations.

When should I use parallel-cli instead of built-in web search?▼

Use parallel-cli when the user explicitly requests Parallel or needs vendor-specific capabilities like enrichment, FindAll entity discovery, or monitoring. For quick one-off lookups, native web_search and web_extract tools are preferred.

How do I authenticate parallel-cli in headless or CI environments?▼

Set the PARALLEL_API_KEY environment variable, or run parallel-cli login --device for headless and SSH sessions. Verify the current state with parallel-cli auth; interactive login may require a PTY or browser.

What are the limitations of parallel-cli?▼

Parallel is a paid service with a free tier, so usage beyond the free tier requires payment and account authentication. It overlaps with native search tools, and exit code 3 indicates auth errors requiring re-login or a valid API key.
