Scrape Strategy
Purpose
Use this skill when the bottleneck is site access rather than report writing. Focus on deciding whether to stay in scrape-capable modes or pivot to external research.
Workflow
Read primr://research/modes to compare scrape, deep, full, and premium behavior.
Review current run state through primr://research/status or check_jobs.
Use references/tiers.md only when you need tier-level scraping context.
Recommend the smallest viable change: retry, change mode, or accept partial coverage.
Decision Rules
Prefer deep when the target site is heavily protected or first-party signal is sparse.
Stay with scrape or full when first-party pages are the core evidence source.
Do not promise exact success percentages unless the run data already shows them.
Escalate from site troubleshooting to mode selection quickly; avoid over-explaining scrape internals unless the user asks.
Example
User: The site seems blocked
1. Read primr://research/status
2. Read primr://research/modes
3. Explain whether deep mode is the better fit
4. If needed, estimate_run(company_url="https://example.com", mode="deep")
