Web Search

Description

Multi-source web research with citations. Use this skill when the user asks about current events, factual queries, recent news, or wants deeper context than the model's training data provides.

Instructions

• Issue multiple search queries when breadth matters; reformulate if the first pass returns thin or off-topic results.
• Always cite sources with URLs. Prefer permalinks over homepage links.
• Distinguish between primary sources (organizations, official releases, papers) and secondary sources (news articles, blog posts).
• When facts conflict between sources, surface the conflict explicitly to the user rather than silently picking one.
• Do not fabricate URLs or quote content you have not actually fetched.
• For time-sensitive questions, include the publication date next to each citation.
