SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires parallel-web-tools, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Gathering current web evidence, extracting content from URLs, and enriching entity lists manually is slow and error-prone. This Skill routes each request to the right Parallel CLI capability so web research tasks run with consistent commands, safe input handling, and verifiable citations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Capability Routing: Directs requests to Web Search, Web Extract, Data Enrichment, Deep Research, FindAll entity discovery, or recurring Monitors based on user intent. - Academic Source Priority: Prefers peer-reviewed journals, preprints (arXiv, bioRxiv, medRxiv), and institutional sources (NIH, WHO, NIST) with author-year citations and DOI links. - Async Job Management: Handles long-running tasks with --no-wait, status checks, and bounded polling (max three polls, 27 minutes total). - Use Case: A researcher asks for a comprehensive review of a scientific topic. The Skill runs parallel-cli research run with the pro processor, prioritizes primary literature, and delivers a cited Markdown report. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to research a topic using Parallel web search, for example: "Use Parallel to find peer-reviewed evidence on CRISPR off-target effects and cite the sources."

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a web search with Parallel CLI?▼

Run `parallel-cli search "your objective" --mode basic --max-results 10 --json` with the query as one quoted argument. Choose `turbo` for speed, `basic` for balance, or `advanced` for difficult queries, and use `--include-domains` to restrict sources.

What is the difference between Parallel Web Search, Deep Research, and FindAll?▼

Web Search handles bounded lookups and fact-checking. Deep Research produces exhaustive multi-source reports and is slower and more expensive. FindAll discovers entities matching natural-language criteria, while Data Enrichment adds fields to entities you already have.

How do I extract content from a URL or PDF with Parallel?▼

Use `parallel-cli extract "https://example.com/article" --json` for a known public URL. Add `--objective` to focus excerpts, `--full-content` for complete page text, and it supports JavaScript-rendered pages and PDFs including arXiv papers.

Does Parallel CLI require an API key?▼

Yes, Parallel CLI requires authentication via `parallel-cli login` or a PARALLEL_API_KEY environment variable obtained from platform.parallel.ai. For headless environments like SSH or CI, use `parallel-cli login --device`.

How do I handle long-running Parallel research tasks?▼

Add `--no-wait --json` to run asynchronously, record the returned task ID (prefixed `trun_`, `tgrp_`, or `findall_`), then poll with `--timeout 540` at most three times. If incomplete after 27 minutes, stop and report the status and ID.

When should I not use Parallel Deep Research?▼

Avoid Deep Research for normal lookups or fact-checking because it is slower and more expensive; use Web Search instead. Reserve it for requests explicitly asking for deep, exhaustive, or comprehensive research.
