SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured approach to conducting web research using subagents, planning, delegation, and synthesis to reduce manual overhead.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plan-first research: Create a research plan and organize findings in a dedicated folder.
  • Subagent delegation: Spawn up to 3 research subagents in parallel to gather diverse insights.
  • Synthesis with citations: Compile findings into a cohesive report with sources and identified gaps.
  • Use Case: When researching a topic like "renewable energy storage," orchestrate planning, parallel subagents, and synthesis.

Quick Start

Outline the research workflow, create a research_plan.md, spawn subagents with the task tool, then synthesize findings via read_file:

  • Create research_plan.md using write_file
  • Spawn subagents with task
  • Read findings via read_file and list_files

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct structured web research across multiple sources?

Structured web research orchestrates planning, delegation to parallel subagents, and synthesis into sourced reports. This Skill spawns up to three subagents to perform concurrent searches on complex topics, then compiles findings with citations and identified gaps into a cohesive final report.

Can I delegate web research tasks to multiple agents in parallel?

Yes. This Skill uses the task tool to spawn up to three research subagents simultaneously, each performing 3–5 web searches. Parallel delegation reduces research overhead and gathers diverse insights on the same topic concurrently.

How do I organize and synthesize web research findings with citations?

Create a research plan using write_file, spawn subagents via task to gather data, then use read_file and list_files to retrieve findings from a dedicated folder. Synthesis compiles results into a final report with source attribution and analysis of remaining research gaps.

What's the best way to plan complex research topics before searching?

Start by creating a research_plan.md file using write_file to outline scope, subtopics, and search strategy. Planning ensures subagents focus efforts on relevant angles and produces a more coherent final synthesis.

Do I need to manually manage file storage for research outputs?

No. This Skill uses a file-based workflow with local folders, write_file, read_file, and list_files to automate storage and retrieval of research plans and subagent findings without manual folder management.
