# Web Research
Research a topic across multiple sources and synthesize the findings.
## Process
1. **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
2. **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
3. **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
4. **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`.
