How does the Web Research skill handle complex topics?

It analyzes the main research question and breaks it down into 2-5 non-overlapping subtopics, assigning each to a specialized subagent for deep investigation.

Does this skill provide citations for its findings?

Yes, the synthesis process is designed to integrate insights from all subagents while citing specific source URLs found during the research phase.

Where are the research results stored?

All plans, findings, and reports are saved in a dedicated local folder named 'research_[topic_name]' within your current working directory to keep files organized.

Can I run multiple research tasks at once?

The skill is optimized to run up to 3 research subagents in parallel, allowing for efficient and rapid data collection across different subtopics.

How many searches does each subagent perform?

By default, subagents are configured with a budget of 3-5 web searches to ensure deep coverage without excessive API usage or information noise.
