SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you gather information from multiple web sources and turn it into a well-structured, cited research answer instead of manually searching, comparing, and writing from scratch.

Core Features & Use Cases

Structured planning: Creates a dedicated research folder and writes a research_plan.md with 2–5 clear subtopics and a synthesis approach.
Delegated subagent research: Spawns parallel subagents per subtopic using web_search and saves findings to research_[topic_name]/findings_[subtopic].md with facts, quotes, and source URLs.
Systematic synthesis: Reads the local findings files, integrates insights, cites sources, and identifies limitations or gaps; optionally writes a final research_report.md.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to research "the causes of ocean acidification and how it affects marine ecosystems" using the web-research skill, and have it produce a cited report.

FAQPage Schema

How do I generate web research reports with URL citations automatically?▼

To generate web research reports, the system decomposes a question into subtopics, delegates web searches to subagents, and synthesizes findings into a cited summary. It creates a research plan, saves findings locally, and integrates insights with source URLs.

What is the best way to synthesize information from multiple web sources into one document?▼

Synthesizing information from multiple web sources involves decomposing a topic into 2–5 subtopics, running parallel web searches, and integrating the findings. The process produces a structured report with facts, quotes, and source URL citations.

How does subagent delegation work for complex topic investigation?▼

Subagent delegation for complex topic investigation works by assigning each subtopic to a parallel subagent that performs bounded web searches. Each subagent saves its findings, including facts and source URLs, to local markdown files for later synthesis.

Can I use this approach to compare information across multiple subjects?▼

Yes, you can compare information across multiple subjects by creating a structured research plan with distinct subtopics. The system delegates web searches per subtopic and synthesizes the findings into a well-cited summary for decision-making.

What are the limitations of using automated web search for research?▼

Automated web research relies on bounded web searches, which may identify limitations or gaps in the synthesized findings. The final report depends on available web sources and may not cover restricted or non-indexed information.

Do I need to manually organize web research findings before synthesis?▼

No, you do not need to manually organize findings. The system automatically creates a dedicated research folder, writes a research_plan.md, and saves subagent findings to specific local markdown files before synthesizing them into a final report.
