How does the Web Research skill handle complex topics?

It breaks the main research question into 2-5 distinct subtopics and assigns them to parallel subagents for focused, non-overlapping investigation.

How are the findings stored?

All findings are stored locally in a specific research directory, utilizing Markdown files for the plan, individual subtopic findings, and the final synthesis.

What tools do the research subagents use?

Subagents utilize the web_search tool to browse the internet and the write_file tool to save their discoveries to local markdown files in a dedicated research folder.

Can I limit the depth of the research?

The skill follows a planning guideline that limits search budgets (typically 3-5 searches per subtopic) to ensure efficient data gathering without excessive resource use.

Does this skill provide citations for its findings?

Yes, the workflow requires subagents to document source URLs and relevant quotes, which are then integrated into the final synthesized report for transparency.
