Research a topic across multiple web sources and produce a cited report. Use when the user asks to research online, search the web, compare options, or produce a research report.

The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Web Research

Research a topic across multiple sources and synthesize the findings.

Process

Plan: create a folder research_[topic_name]/ and write research_plan.md with:
- Main question
- 2-5 non-overlapping subtopics
- Expected information per subtopic
- How results will be synthesized
Delegate: for each subtopic, spawn a research task with:
- Clear, specific question
- Instructions to save findings to findings_[subtopic].md
- 3-5 web searches maximum
Synthesize: read all findings files, then produce:
- Direct answer to the original question
- Integrated insights from all subtopics
- Source citations with URLs
- Gaps or limitations
Report (optional): write research_report.md if requested.

Best practices

Plan before delegating.
Use file-based communication for subagents.
Stop at 3-5 searches per subtopic.
Cite specific sources.

Note

Use fetch_url for URLs, not read_file.
