Can I limit the number of web searches performed?

Yes, each subagent is typically restricted to a budget of 3-5 web searches to ensure the research is efficient and focused.

Where are the research results stored?

The skill creates a dedicated research folder in your local directory where it saves the research plan, individual findings files, and the final synthesized report.

Why does it use subagents instead of direct searching?

Subagents allow for parallel processing of different facets of a topic, leading to more comprehensive data collection and better organization of diverse information sources.

How does the Web Research skill handle complex topics?

It breaks down a main research question into 2-5 distinct subtopics, creates a formal research plan, and assigns subagents to investigate each area simultaneously.

Does this skill provide citations for its findings?

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

Web Scraping & Data Collection

Conducts multi-threaded, deep-dive web investigations by orchestrating parallel subagents to gather and synthesize complex information.

About

This skill enables Claude to handle sophisticated research tasks by implementing a structured workflow that involves planning, delegation, and systematic synthesis. It automatically organizes research into dedicated directories, creates detailed investigation plans, and spawns parallel subagents to explore specific subtopics. By using file-based communication, it ensures that all findings are documented with source URLs, allowing for the generation of comprehensive, well-cited reports and comparative analyses without manual overhead.
