Web Search Digest

Given a topic, search the web and return a structured markdown digest.

Steps

  1. Parse the topic — Extract the core subject and any filters (time range, language, region).
  2. Search — Run web_search with the topic. Use freshness and language parameters when specified.
    • If results are insufficient (fewer than 5), broaden the query and retry once.
  3. Fetch & extract — For the top 3-5 most relevant results, use web_fetch to extract readable content.
  4. Synthesize — Produce a markdown digest with the following structure:
markdown
# Digest: {topic}

**Generated:** {ISO timestamp}
**Sources consulted:** {count}

## Key Findings
- Bullet list of 3-6 main takeaways

## Detail by Source
### [{title}]({url})
- 2-3 sentence summary
- Relevance: high/medium/low

## Gaps & Open Questions
- What the search did not cover
  1. Deliver — Return the digest as markdown. If the user requested a file, also write it to digest-{slug}.md in the workspace.

Output Contract

  • Always include the sources consulted count.
  • Never fabricate facts not found in the fetched content.
  • Mark uncertain claims with "reported" or "unverified".
