Web Search — Searches the web for the given topic and extracts the top 3 results (URLs + snippets).
Content Fetch — Fetches the top result for a deeper summary.
GIF Match — Calls gifgrep with the topic to find a relevant animated GIF.
Template Fill — Reads notes/research_template.md (or uses an inline default) and replaces all {placeholder} tokens with the gathered data.
Bear Note — Creates a structured Bear note with tags via grizzly create.
