Gemini Web Research
Spawn the gemini-researcher agent for real-time web searches with Google grounding.
When to Use This Skill (Gemini)
| Use Gemini For | Use Perplexity For |
|---|---|
| Current events, breaking news | Technology comparisons (X vs Y) |
| Real-time data (<24 hours old) | Best practices, industry standards |
| Live pricing, availability | OWASP, security guidelines |
| Recent releases, changelogs | Documentation references |
| Rapidly changing information | Stable technical content |
Use Gemini when recency is critical (today's news, live data). Default to Perplexity for most technical research.
Foreground (blocking)
Task(subagent_type="gemini-researcher", prompt="<search query>")
Background (for context efficiency)
Task(subagent_type="gemini-researcher", prompt="<query>", run_in_background=true)
Use TaskOutput(task_id="<id>") to retrieve results.
Use when you need current, up-to-date information that may not be in Claude's training data.
