web-research

Structured web research automates planning, source delegation, and synthesis into sourced reports. This Skill creates a research folder, develops a research plan, spawns subagents to investigate specific subtopics with constrained search budgets, then compiles findings with full citations into a final report.

Yes. The Skill spawns up to 3 subagents, each assigned specific subtopics with dedicated search budgets. Each subagent gathers findings independently, then results are synthesized and cross-referenced with source citations in the final output.

Create a dedicated local research folder at .sandbox/research/YYYY-MM-DD-[topic_name] and write a research_plan.md documenting scope, subtopics, and sources. This structure ensures consistent organization, enables parallel subtopic investigation, and facilitates synthesis with clear attribution.

The Skill synthesizes subagent findings by compiling results with explicit source citations. Each finding is traced back to its original source, creating a fully attributed report suitable for analysis, reports, or further research without citation ambiguity.

Yes. By delegating different angles or competing perspectives to separate subagents, you gather parallel analyses from multiple sources. The synthesis step cross-references and compares findings, ideal for evaluating conflicting claims or identifying consensus.

The Skill supports up to 3 concurrent subagents, each with constrained search budgets. For topics with more subtopics, batch research across multiple runs or combine related subtopics under each subagent's focused investigation.
