Web Research

Thorough web research: multiple searches, cross-referenced sources, structured summary.

Workflow

1. Parse topic from request
2. Generate 3-5 search queries (different angles)
3. Execute searches in parallel
4. Evaluate and cross-reference sources
5. Synthesize findings
6. Output structured summary with citations

Query Generation

Cover:

• Direct topic search
• "What is [topic]"
• "[topic] explained"
• "[topic] best practices" or "[topic] examples"
• "[topic] vs alternatives" (if applicable)

Run searches in parallel.

Source Evaluation

Prioritize:

• Official documentation
• Reputable tech sites
• Recent content (check dates)
• Multiple sources confirming same info

Avoid:

• Outdated information
• Single-source claims
• Marketing content without substance

Cross-Reference

For each key finding:

• Verify across 2+ sources
• Note conflicting information
• Identify consensus vs debate

Guidelines

• Thorough but concise
• Distinguish facts from opinions
• Note uncertain or debated information
• Include publication dates for time-sensitive topics
• Use current year in searches

Edge Cases

Niche topics: Broaden search terms or search for related concepts.

Conflicting sources: Present both perspectives, note disagreement.

No good sources: Report scarce information, suggest alternatives.

Time-sensitive topics: Include recent date in searches, note potential staleness.
