web-research

Web research using this skill organizes your investigation by creating a research plan, breaking topics into subtopics, and delegating focused research tasks to subagents. Each subagent collects findings from current sources and saves them locally, which you then synthesize into a cited final report with traceable source attribution.

Yes, this skill spawns subagents to handle topic-specific research in parallel. You define clear research questions for each subtopic, and subagents independently gather and file findings, enabling faster cross-source synthesis and reducing research bottlenecks.

After subagents complete their research and save findings locally, you collect and organize their outputs into a structured report. The skill emphasizes maintaining source traceability throughout, so your final deliverable includes well-cited evidence linking each claim to its original source.

This skill excels for topics requiring current information, multiple authoritative sources, and synthesis across perspectives—such as market analysis, policy research, technical trends, and comparative studies where source diversity and citation trails strengthen credibility.

Setup is minimal: you need the task tool available to spawn subagents and local write_file access to store research findings. No external dependencies or additional configuration beyond those capabilities are required to begin structured research planning.

Delegating to subagents parallelizes research across subtopics, accelerates findings collection from current web sources, and reduces cognitive load by compartmentalizing different research angles. You focus on synthesis and quality rather than repetitive information gathering.
