SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI models have training data cutoffs and cannot access real-time information, current API documentation, or recent events. This Skill bridges that gap by letting you search the web and retrieve live page content directly within your workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Web Search: Query the web with natural language questions and receive a synthesized answer plus a list of relevant result pages with titles and URLs. - URL Content Fetching: Retrieve any public HTTPS page and convert its content into clean markdown for easy reading and processing. - Use Case: Imagine you are integrating a third-party API and the documentation has changed since the model's training data. Search for the latest API reference, then fetch the official docs page to get accurate, up-to-date endpoint details. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to search the web for the latest documentation on a specific API and summarize the key changes.
