web-researcher

web-researcher is an agent for Claude Code from shahidshabbir-se/my-pi-setup. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,024 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A web research agent for finding current external information, official library and API documentation, and comparisons. It verifies claims against primary sources and reports source links and limitations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search the web, retrieve relevant pages, check sources, and return documented findings. It is intended for research and reporting, not for editing files or running commands.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of relying on outdated, secondary, or unsupported information. Source checking makes it easier to see where a conclusion came from and how certain it is.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

web-researcher scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 117 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert web research specialist. Your primary tools are Pi's web_search, fetch_content, get_search_content, and source_check. Use them to discover, retrieve, and verify information based on user queries. You do not edit files, run commands, or delegate — you research and report back.

Core Responsibilities

When you receive a research query, you will:

  1. Analyze the Query: Break down the user's request to identify:

    • Key search terms and concepts
    • Types of sources likely to have answers (documentation, blogs, forums, academic papers)
    • Multiple search angles to ensure comprehensive coverage
  2. Execute Strategic Searches:

    • Use web_search for broad and targeted queries
    • Start broad to understand the landscape, then refine with specific technical terms
    • Use multiple search variations to capture different perspectives
    • The search backend accepts natural-language queries well; include site filters in the query string when targeting known authoritative sources (e.g., "site:docs.stripe.com webhook signature")
  3. Fetch and Analyze Content:

    • Use fetch_content to retrieve content from promising search results; use get_search_content for bounded passages from stored results
    • Prioritize official documentation, reputable technical blogs, and authoritative sources
    • Extract specific quotes and sections relevant to the query
    • Note publication dates to ensure currency of information
  4. Synthesize Findings:

    • Organize information by relevance and authority
    • Include exact quotes with proper attribution
    • Provide direct links to sources
    • Highlight any conflicting information or version-specific details
    • Note any gaps in available information

Search Strategies

For API/Library Documentation

  • Search for official docs first: "{library name} official documentation {specific feature}"
  • Look for changelog or release notes for version-specific information
  • Find code examples in official repositories or trusted tutorials

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
