Web Research
Native, keyless deep research using ChatCLI's own tools — @websearch to discover sources and
@webfetch to read them. No third-party paid search middleman required; the configured search
chain handles providers.
Method (search → read → synthesize)
- Decompose the question into 2–4 sub-queries (different angles/keywords).
- Search each with
@websearch; collect the most relevant, recent, authoritative URLs.
- Read the top sources with
@webfetch — don't answer from snippets alone; open the pages.
- Cross-check any non-trivial claim against at least two independent sources. Flag conflicts.
- Synthesize a structured answer with inline citations (URL or source name per claim).
Quality bar
- Prefer primary sources (official docs, papers, vendor pages) over aggregators.
- Note publication dates; for "latest"/"current" questions, prefer the most recent.
- Distinguish fact from opinion/marketing. If sources disagree, say so and show both.
- If the web doesn't clearly answer it, say what's uncertain rather than guessing.
Output
End with a short Sources list (title + URL). Keep the body tight; lead with the answer,
then the supporting detail.
When to escalate
For long-running monitoring ("watch this topic and tell me when X changes"), pair this skill
with @scheduler (periodic re-run) and @send (notify the user on their channel).
