SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Web research is slow, fragmented, and often out of date; this skill consolidates current web information into a single, AI-synthesized answer with source citations so users get reliable, up-to-date results without manual aggregation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Google AI Mode integration: Runs automated searches that synthesize information from many sources and returns cited summaries.
  • Query optimization & workflow: Rewrites user queries for better results, runs searches with saving enabled, and reads saved results to present a structured answer.
  • First-run and troubleshooting support: Auto-installs dependencies, creates a Python venv, downloads Chrome, and provides a --show-browser flow to resolve CAPTCHAs on first use.
  • Use Case: Quickly compare technical options, fetch the latest library changes, gather documentation snippets, or produce evidence-backed answers for investigations and reports.

Quick Start

Use the web-research skill to run a Google AI Mode search for "React hooks best practices 2026 (useState, useEffect, custom hooks) and return a cited, structured summary."
