Answers a question by going and looking it up on the web, and gives back a single paragraph with the list of sources it actually read underneath.

🧩 One of 21 skills in the mastra-ai/mastra package — works on its own, and pairs well with its siblings.

WHEN YOUR AGENT SHOULD USE IT

A QUICK BOUNDARY

USE FOR

  • Search broadly first, then open the one page that really has the answer.
  • Save the URLs and short quotes gathered while researching into a notes file in the workspace.
  • Drop a claim from the final answer if it isn't backed by something actually fetched.

This is the playbook your agent receives when the skill activates — you don't need to read it to use the skill, but it's here to audit before installing.

Research task process

  1. Use web_search first for broad queries; use the browser tools when you need to read a specific page.
  2. Capture useful URLs and short quotes into a markdown file under notes/ in the workspace.
  3. Never invent sources. If a claim isn't supported by something you actually fetched, drop it.
  4. Final answer format:
    • Answer: one paragraph.
    • Sources: bulleted list of URLs.
    • Notes file: path to the saved markdown notes.
