Web Research

Purpose

Fetch and extract content from live web pages using HTTP-based fetching (httpx + trafilatura) for standard pages and Playwright headless browser for JavaScript-rendered pages. Is the raw data acquisition layer for all research skills.

When to Use

You need to fetch content from a specific URL
A page requires JavaScript rendering to display its content
You need to extract structured data from multiple pages
Real-time information needs to be retrieved from the web

When Not to Use

The user wants a summary of a topic they haven't specified URLs for
The task is analyzing the local codebase

Inputs

Input	Type	Required	Description
`url` or `urls`	string/array	Yes	URL(s) to fetch
`mode`	enum	No (default: auto)	auto, text, html, screenshot
`js_render`	boolean	No (default: false)	Whether to use Playwright

Expected Outputs

Output	Description
Clean text content	Extracted main content from the page
Code examples	Extracted code blocks if mode=auto
Screenshot	Full-page screenshot if mode=screenshot

Exact Workflow Steps

Try HTTP fetch first using webfetch
If response is incomplete (<2000 chars) or empty, fall back to Playwright MCP tools:
- browser_navigate — navigate to the URL
- browser_snapshot — get structured accessibility tree with element refs
- browser_console_messages — check for JS errors that may indicate rendering issues
Extract clean text content and code blocks
If requested, take a screenshot via browser_take_screenshot (Playwright MCP)

Required Checks

Content was successfully extracted
Fallback to Playwright was attempted if HTTP fetch failed
Rate limiting was respected (1s between requests to same domain)

Failure Modes

Failure Condition	Response
HTTP 404	Try with Playwright (some SPAs return 404 for JS-rendered content)
All methods fail	Report URL as unreachable
Content too large	Truncate and report
