Where are the research findings and plans stored?

All plans, raw findings, and final reports are stored in a dedicated local folder (e.g., research_topic-name) to keep your main workspace clean.

Does this skill help manage search costs?

Yes, it implements a strict budget of 3-5 web searches per subtopic to ensure research remains efficient and cost-effective.

How does the Web Research skill handle complex topics?

It breaks down complex questions into 2-5 distinct subtopics, then spawns parallel subagents to investigate each area individually before synthesizing the results.

Can this skill provide citations for its findings?

Absolutely. The synthesis step is designed to integrate insights from all subtopics while citing specific source URLs gathered by the subagents.
