Reuters News Search
Purpose and entry point
Use the current Reuters tab and the public search UI. Read ../../sites/reuters/AGENTS.md first; load form-controls.md for exact controls and first-party-guidance.md for source and freshness rules.
Procedure
- Verify the current tab is Reuters and record the current URL, title, and visible auth state.
- Click
Open search bar, then locate the Search Reuters searchbox. Fill only the user-requested query or a harmless representative query.
- Click
Search or press Enter. Verify the URL contains /site-search/, the query parameter, and the heading Search results for “…”.
- Apply
Section, Date range, and Sort by only when requested. After each change, verify the selected label, URL state, heading/result state, and a representative result; do not rely on the URL alone.
- For each requested result, capture title, visible category, displayed time, article URL, and any
Exclusive or ANALYSIS label. Open an article only when the task needs detail and hand off to $reuters-article-research.
- Report observation time, query, filters, sorting, result scope, and any loading/empty/gated state. Re-fetch dynamic results for the final answer.
Controls
- Section options observed:
All, World, Business, Legal, Markets, Breakingviews, Technology, Sustainability, Science, Sports, and Lifestyle.
- Date options observed:
Any time, Past 24 hours, Past week, Past month, and Past year.
- Sort options observed:
Newest, Oldest, and Relevance.
Clear search text clears the query; verify whether a new submit is required before reading results.
Safety and limits
Search is read-only, but do not click Save, Share, Follow, Subscribe, or account controls while collecting results. Do not bypass registration, paywalls, CAPTCHA, or access gates. Do not write current result counts, headlines, rankings, or times into this skill.
Drift maintenance
Compare the live search UI, labels, route parameters, selected controls, result semantics, and first-party explanations before acting. If a stable difference is safely verified, update this skill or the owning site reference, re-run the search workflow and the validator, and keep public/authenticated variants separate. Treat dynamic results as retrieval inputs, not documentation facts.
