Web Research

Web Research is a skill for Claude Code from Razaib-khan/ForgeWeave. It costs 21 tokens per session (648 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A web research tool for fetching and extracting information from live webpages. It can retrieve ordinary pages over HTTP and use a headless browser for pages that need JavaScript to display their content.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fetch one or more URLs, extract page text and code examples, collect structured information, or capture full-page screenshots.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of opening pages and copying their main text or structured information. It also handles pages that are not fully readable from a basic web request.

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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/fetch_url.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 84 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Web Research

Purpose

Fetch and extract content from live web pages using HTTP-based fetching (httpx + trafilatura) for standard pages and Playwright headless browser for JavaScript-rendered pages. Is the raw data acquisition layer for all research skills.

When to Use

  • You need to fetch content from a specific URL
  • A page requires JavaScript rendering to display its content
  • You need to extract structured data from multiple pages
  • Real-time information needs to be retrieved from the web

When Not to Use

  • The user wants a summary of a topic they haven't specified URLs for
  • The task is analyzing the local codebase

Inputs

Input Type Required Description
url or urls string/array Yes URL(s) to fetch
mode enum No (default: auto) auto, text, html, screenshot
js_render boolean No (default: false) Whether to use Playwright

Expected Outputs

Output Description
Clean text content Extracted main content from the page
Code examples Extracted code blocks if mode=auto
Screenshot Full-page screenshot if mode=screenshot

Exact Workflow Steps

  1. Try HTTP fetch first using webfetch
  2. If response is incomplete (<2000 chars) or empty, fall back to Playwright MCP tools:
    • browser_navigate — navigate to the URL
    • browser_snapshot — get structured accessibility tree with element refs
    • browser_console_messages — check for JS errors that may indicate rendering issues
  3. Extract clean text content and code blocks
  4. If requested, take a screenshot via browser_take_screenshot (Playwright MCP)

Required Checks

  • Content was successfully extracted
  • Fallback to Playwright was attempted if HTTP fetch failed
  • Rate limiting was respected (1s between requests to same domain)

Failure Modes

Failure Condition Response
HTTP 404 Try with Playwright (some SPAs return 404 for JS-rendered content)
All methods fail Report URL as unreachable
Content too large Truncate and report

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.
