ComeOnOliver Web Search Skill
This skill provides advanced web search functionality using the gemini command, designed for complex inquiries requiring current information and comprehensive analysis.
🎯 Purpose
Execute web searches to gather current, relevant information addressing user questions. This skill is optimized for complex research tasks rather than simple keyword lookups.
🔧 Usage
Execute web searches using the bash script:
bash scripts/web-search.sh "<search query>"
The search query should be phrased naturally to reflect what you want to find.
📋 Workflow
After running searches, follow these steps:
- Identify Relevant Information: Extract the most pertinent information from search results
- Synthesize Multiple Sources: Combine information from multiple sources when beneficial
- Cite Information Origins: Always include source URLs and references
- Refine Strategy: If initial results are inadequate, reconsider search strategy with alternative queries
🎨 Best Practices
When to Use This Skill
- Researching current events or recent updates
- Finding documentation for latest library versions
- Investigating error messages and solutions
- Comparing technologies or approaches
- Gathering best practices and recommendations
Query Formulation
Clear Questions: Use explicit language
- ✅ "Please explain Next.js 15's new features"
- ❌ "Next.js 15"
Source Specification: Direct queries to specific sources
- ✅ "Find information from official Next.js documentation"
- ✅ "Search Stack Overflow for TypeScript error solutions"
Response Format: Request specific output formats
- ✅ "Provide code examples"
- ✅ "Present results in table format"
Temporal/Conditional Modifiers: Specify time or difficulty level
- ✅ "Latest React performance optimization techniques for 2025"
- ✅ "Beginner-friendly Python tutorials"
Analysis Directives: Request comparisons and evaluations
- ✅ "Compare Vite and Webpack, including pros and cons"
- ✅ "Analyze trade-offs between different state management solutions"
🚫 When NOT to Use
- Information available in local codebase
- Questions about code you've already read
- General programming knowledge that doesn't require current information
- Simple fact-checking that can be answered from existing context
💡 Tips
- Be specific: More detailed queries yield better results
- Include context: Mention your use case or constraints
- Iterate: Refine queries based on initial results
- Verify sources: Cross-reference information from multiple sources
- Document findings: Keep track of useful sources for future reference
