## Capabilities

- Runs scripts/web-search.sh with a natural language search query.
- Sends the query to Gemini CLI with the gemini prompt option.
- Requests Markdown answers that include all referenced URLs.
- Supports research for releases, documentation, errors, news, best practices, and comparisons.
- Provides example search workflows for common developer research tasks.

## Use Cases

- Research Framework Updates: Find current release notes and summarize important changes before planning upgrades.
- Investigate Technical Errors: Search documentation, issues, and community answers to understand likely fixes for an error.
- Prepare Source-Based Briefs: Collect current references and turn them into a concise brief with source links.

## Prompt Templates

### Find Official Sources

```
Search for current official information about [topic]. Summarize the key points and include the source URLs.
```

### Investigate an Error

```
Search for causes and fixes for [error message]. Prioritize official docs, issue trackers, and recent reliable sources.
```

### Compare Technical Options

```
Compare [option A] and [option B] for [use case]. Cover strengths, limits, adoption signals, and source links.
```

### Build a Research Brief

```
Research [topic] across official releases, documentation, and expert analysis. Produce a structured brief with risks, recommendations, and sources.
```

## Limitations

- Requires Gemini CLI to be installed and authenticated in the local environment.
- Runs a shell script and external CLI, so some installers may require review.
- Search quality depends on Gemini web access and available source material.
- Does not independently verify each source for accuracy or authority.

## Best Practices

- Ask for official docs or primary sources when accuracy matters.
- Use specific dates, versions, and product names in the query.
- Review source URLs before using results for decisions.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not pass secrets, private customer data, or credentials in search queries.
- Do not treat generated summaries as verified facts without checking sources.
- Do not use the skill for tasks that should stay inside the workspace.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-06T02:21:00.454\+00:00
- Summary: The obfuscation alerts are false positives caused by readable Japanese Markdown and shell prompt text, not encoded payloads. External command use is real because the skill instructs users to run a shell script that invokes Gemini CLI, and the script uses \`--yolo\` with a user-controlled prompt.
