web-search

Web searches retrieve up-to-date information from multiple sources across the internet. This Skill uses Gemini to execute advanced queries, synthesize results from relevant pages, and return structured output with source citations—ideal for documentation, debugging, and technology comparisons requiring current data.

Yes. This Skill includes source attribution in all results, providing URLs alongside synthesized findings. Structured source-cited output is suitable for reference lists, RAG pipelines, and scenarios where traceability to original pages is required.

You need the Gemini CLI installed and Bash tooling available in your environment. The Skill executes via a Bash script that calls Gemini to perform searches, so both dependencies must be present before executing queries.

Search results are returned in structured Markdown or JSON formats. JSON output integrates directly into RAG pipelines and programmatic workflows, while Markdown suits documentation and human-readable reports.

Use web search when you need current information—error resolution, debugging against latest libraries, technology comparisons, or multi-domain scenarios where real-time data and source diversity matter more than indexed archives.

Yes. The Skill is designed for advanced research requiring synthesis across multiple sources, domain-specific context, and scenario-specific outputs. It gathers and synthesizes relevant information across domains rather than returning raw search results.
