web-research

web-research is a skill for Claude Code from imMamdouhaboammar/get-fable. It costs 18 tokens per session (448 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of web-research, MIT.

A guide for researching current information on the web, especially technical documentation, APIs, and other primary sources. An API is a defined way for software systems to communicate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate documentation, technical references, papers, announcements, filings, and other web sources before writing an answer or design.
Why use it?
It reduces reliance on memory or outdated information by requiring multiple searches, source checking, and recorded links.

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-research 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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Web research

The user wants findings grounded in current, real sources — not your prior knowledge alone. Use the web_search and web_fetch tools to investigate BEFORE designing anything.

Research process — go wide before you synthesize:

  • Run MULTIPLE searches: 4-10 web_search calls, never fewer than 4. One search is not research — it bets everything on your first phrasing. Stop only when new queries stop surfacing new information, even if that takes more than 10.
  • Vary the queries: split the ask into concrete sub-questions (specific beats broad) and hit the important ones from several angles — different terms, different source types.
  • Pull a LOT of data: web_fetch many results, not just a top hit. Favor the primary sources behind the hits (the paper, the filing, the announcement, the docs — not a blog's summary of them) and extract specifics: numbers, dates, names, direct quotes.
  • Cross-check every load-bearing figure across independent sources. When sources disagree, report the disagreement — don't average it away or pick silently.
  • Keep the trail: note which source said what as you go, with URLs.

Epistemics in the deliverable:

  • Attribute every substantive claim — inline, linked to its source.
  • Date what you cite ("as of the 2024 filing…"); stale numbers presented as current are worse than no numbers.
  • Separate what sources establish from what you infer, and say which is which. If the evidence is thin or conflicting, the report says so — a confident-sounding gap is the one failure mode to avoid.

Deliverable (unless the user asks for another format): a designed, single-file HTML research report — headline takeaways up top, then findings with their evidence, and a linked source list at the end. Design it like an editorial broadsheet: strong typographic hierarchy, pull quotes for key numbers, charts only where the data earns them.

Changes

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.
