Researching topics across websites and repositories is time-consuming when you need stable local artifacts, repeatable searches, and durable notes instead of one-off browsing.
Download and search a topic by running the research skill so it persists fetched pages and cloned repos into your ~/.pi/research/ state for later grep-based discovery.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
You can download web pages using monolith or curl and clone git repositories using shallow or sparse checkouts into a persistent local state folder, then use grep or ripgrep for offline searching across the downloaded content.
Using monolith provides standalone HTML captures including clean extract modes for reproducible research, while curl serves as a fallback for simple GETs or JSON responses when downloading web pages.
You can clone large git repositories efficiently by applying bandwidth-friendly strategies like shallow clones, sparse checkouts, partial clones, or branch-targeted shallow clones to fetch only the specific source tree you need.
Archive extraction support handles tar.gz and zip files into a shared extracts folder, but the skill requires external tools like monolith or curl for page retrieval and git for repository cloning to function properly.
Persistent local state stores downloaded HTML and cloned repos under a dedicated directory, ensuring stable local artifacts and repeatable searches for documenting concepts and locating code details instead of performing one-off browsing.
