Web Research

Follow the base skill. This Claude overlay only defines tool use and execution details.

Claude tool rules

• Use Perplexity for broad research questions, comparisons, or source discovery when it is available.
• Use WebFetch to inspect primary or official sources directly after source discovery.
• Do not answer research questions from memory.
• Do not route exact API syntax or code-example questions here; use looking-up-docs.
• Do not route repo-specific questions here when local files can answer them.

Tool selection on Claude

• Simple factual question: use the smallest web query that can answer it.
• Source selection: use Perplexity or another available search-capable tool, then fetch the best sources.
• Broad investigation: use Perplexity first when it fits; if the runtime offers a deeper research mode, use it when the question truly needs it.
• Follow-up detail: fetch only the sources needed to support the claim.
