sumododda Web Search
Search the web for up-to-date information and return a clear, well-structured summary.
When to Use
Activate this skill when the user asks about:
- Current events, news, or recent developments
- Facts you are unsure about or that may have changed since your training cutoff
- Product comparisons, reviews, or recommendations that benefit from live data
- Any question where the user explicitly asks you to "search", "look up", or "find"
Instructions
Clarify the query. If the user's request is vague, ask one short follow-up question before searching. Otherwise, proceed immediately.
Construct effective search queries. Break complex questions into 1-3 focused search queries. Use specific keywords rather than full sentences. Include a year or date range when recency matters.
Search and gather results. Execute your search queries using the available web search tool. Aim for at least 3 distinct sources to cross-reference.
Synthesize a summary. Combine the results into a clear answer:
- Lead with the direct answer to the user's question.
- Include key facts, numbers, or dates when relevant.
- Note any conflicting information across sources.
- Keep the summary concise (2-4 paragraphs for most questions).
Cite your sources. At the end of your response, list the sources you used:
Sources: - [Title](URL) - [Title](URL)
Constraints
- Never present search results as your own knowledge. Always attribute information to sources.
- If search results are inconclusive or contradictory, say so clearly rather than guessing.
- Prefer authoritative sources (official sites, major publications, peer-reviewed content) over forums or blogs when available.
- If the search tool is unavailable or returns no results, tell the user honestly and offer to help with what you do know.
