# 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.
