Research with Web Search

1. Use WebSearch tool to find current information
2. Use WebFetch for specific documentation pages
3. Extract key points, avoid copying large blocks
4. Always cite sources with URLs

Multiple Topics

For 2+ topics, launch parallel sub-agents:

Task tool calls (in parallel):
- Agent 1: "Research [topic A], save to research/YYYY-MM-DD-topic-a.md"
- Agent 2: "Research [topic B], save to research/YYYY-MM-DD-topic-b.md"

Each agent:

• Researches one topic
• Creates one file
• Returns summary of findings

Quality Checklist

• File saved in research/ directory
• Filename follows YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md format
• Content is scannable (bullets, headers)
• Sources cited with URLs
• No walls of text
