How does the Web Research skill handle complex topics?

It breaks down complex questions into 2-5 distinct subtopics and delegates them to specialized research subagents for parallel investigation.

How many searches does each subagent perform?

To ensure efficiency, each subagent is typically limited to 3-5 web searches per subtopic, preventing unnecessary credit usage and information bloat.

Does this skill provide source citations?

Yes, subagents are instructed to record source URLs and relevant quotes, which are then integrated into the final synthesized response or report.

Can I use this for comparative analysis?

Absolutely. The skill is designed to handle comparative analysis by assigning different elements of the comparison to individual subagents.

Where are the research findings stored?

Findings are stored locally in a dedicated research folder within your working directory, organized by subtopic for easy review and synthesis.
