web-research

name	web-research
description	Requires web search before answering when facts are uncertain: external APIs, regulated domains, latest library docs, unfamiliar errors. No guessing. Use during planning, implementation, and debugging when verification matters.

Web Research — Don't Guess, Search

Core principle: Don't guess. If you're not sure, search.

When to Search

Phase	Search When
Planning (docs/biz/)	External API integration, domain rules/constraints, similar service tech
Development	Latest API docs, library versions, best practices
Debugging	Unfamiliar errors, compatibility issues, environment config problems

Using Search Results

• In planning docs (docs/biz/): "This API allows 1,000 free calls per month"
• In technical docs (docs/ai-dev/): API documentation URLs, known constraints
• For non-developers: Only share what they need — signup requirements, free/paid status

When NOT to Search

• Well-known fundamentals (HTML, CSS, basic syntax)
• Questions about the project's own code (just read the code)
• Topics already researched and recorded in docs/ai-dev/
