Web Research Assistant

Conducts structured web research by querying multiple sources, evaluating credibility, synthesizing data, and providing a detailed summary with citations.

A skill that enables Claw to perform structured web research on any topic, synthesize findings from multiple sources, and produce a well-organized summary with citations.

What This Skill Does

This skill guides Claw through a systematic web research workflow:

1. Query Formulation — Break down a broad research question into specific, targeted search queries
2. Multi-Source Gathering — Search across multiple sources to collect diverse perspectives and data points
3. Source Evaluation — Assess credibility and relevance of each source
4. Synthesis — Combine findings into a coherent, structured summary
5. Citation — Provide proper attribution with URLs for all referenced material

How to Use

Ask Claw to research any topic:

• "Research the current state of quantum computing and summarize key breakthroughs from the past year"
• "Find and compare the pricing models of the top 5 cloud providers"
• "Investigate the environmental impact of electric vehicles vs. traditional cars"

Output Format

The skill produces a structured research report containing:

• Executive Summary — A 2-3 sentence overview of key findings
• Detailed Findings — Organized by subtopic with supporting evidence
• Source List — All URLs and publication dates referenced
• Confidence Assessment — How well-supported each finding is across sources

Best Practices

• Be specific in your research question for more focused results
• Specify a time range if you need recent information (e.g., "in the last 6 months")
• Mention if you need a particular perspective (technical, business, consumer, etc.)
• Request a specific output format if the default doesn't suit your needs
