Comprehensive web research requires breaking down complex queries into subtopics, delegating research tasks to subagents, and synthesizing findings into a coherent report. This structured approach ensures detailed investigation and information gathering.

The best way to structure information gathering is by creating a research_plan.md file to define subtopics and expected outcomes. This plan guides the systematic delegation of research tasks to isolated subagents.

Delegating research tasks to subagents works by spawning isolated instances for each subtopic using the task tool. Each subagent independently investigates its assigned area before findings are collected and synthesized.

Yes, you can synthesize multiple subagent reports into a single document. The process ensures findings from all subagents are collected, reviewed, and systematically synthesized into a comprehensive final report.

A limitation of using subagents for web research is that it requires planning, delegation, and synthesis steps for comprehensive results. Complex queries must be successfully broken down into manageable subtopics beforehand.

Structured web research requires predefined research plans to define subtopics and expected outcomes. Creating a research_plan.md file ensures subagent delegation targets specific information gathering goals effectively.
