About web-research

web-research is a research skill for gathering topic information and turning it into actionable recommendations. It combines repository searches with Perplexity, Firecrawl, and Context7 queries when those MCP tools are available.

Key features

  1. 01Searches existing code with Grep and Glob
  2. 02Queries Perplexity for topic knowledge
  3. 03Scrapes pages with Firecrawl
  4. 04Looks up library docs with Context7
  5. 05Synthesizes findings and recommendations

Use cases

  1. 01Research a topic against an existing codebase
  2. 02Gather information from web sources
  3. 03Find documentation for a specific library

MCP support

The skill calls Perplexity MCP for knowledge queries, Firecrawl MCP for web search and page scraping, and Context7 MCP for library documentation.

Install

Web Research

Research the topic: $ARGUMENTS

Research Strategy

  1. First check the codebase for existing knowledge using Grep and Glob
  2. Use Perplexity MCP for knowledge queries about the topic
  3. Use Firecrawl MCP to scrape specific documentation pages if needed
  4. Use Context7 MCP for library-specific documentation
  5. Synthesize findings into actionable recommendations

MCP Tools Available

  • mcp__perplexity__perplexity_ask - Ask knowledge questions
  • mcp__firecrawl__firecrawl_scrape - Scrape a specific URL
  • mcp__firecrawl__firecrawl_search - Search the web
  • mcp__plugin_context7_context7__resolve-library-id - Find library docs
  • mcp__plugin_context7_context7__query-docs - Query library documentation

Output Format

  • Summary: 2-3 sentence overview
  • Key Findings: Detailed bullet points with sources
  • Code Examples: If applicable
