Single Search

Purpose

Get fast, focused answers by crawling a small set of authoritative URLs and extracting the relevant information. No multi-agent pipeline, no planning phase, no validation stage. This is the default research mode — use it whenever you lack context about any technology.

When to Use (Auto-Detect)

Always call websearch or load this skill when:

• You are about to write code using an API/library you're not 100% confident about
• You encounter an unfamiliar function signature, parameter, or return type
• You need to verify a library version, feature availability, or deprecation status
• You need a quick code example for a specific API method
• You encounter an error and need to look up the error message or fix
• You need to confirm a configuration option, CLI flag, or environment variable
• The question can be answered from 1-3 sources
• You are short on context for any technology usage — stop and search before coding

When NOT to Use

• The topic requires comparing multiple sources or perspectives — use deep-research
• You need to understand a new framework from scratch (3+ subtopics) — use deep-research
• The question is about code in the current project — answer directly from the codebase
• The user explicitly asked for "deep research" or "comprehensive report"
• The project will need this knowledge repeatedly — research and convert to skill

Inputs

Input	Type	Required	Description
query	string	Yes	The specific question to answer
seed_urls	array of string	No	Suggested URLs to check (auto-discovered if omitted)

Expected Outputs

A concise answer with:

• Direct answer to the question
• 1-3 code examples if applicable
• Source URLs for each claim

Exact Workflow Steps

1. Determine 1-3 authoritative URLs (official docs, API refs)
2. Fetch them using webfetch
3. For JS-rendered pages or incomplete responses, use Playwright MCP tools:
   • browser_navigate to load the page
   • browser_snapshot to extract structured content via element refs
4. Extract the specific information requested
5. Return a concise answer with sources
