What this skill does
Monitors are long-running, server-side jobs that re-check the web on a cadence and emit events when something changes. Unlike search/research/findall (one-shot lookups), monitors persist until deleted and can optionally fire a webhook on each event.
Decide the action
Parse the user's request and pick one:
| Intent | Action |
|---|---|
| "Track / watch / monitor / alert me when X" | create |
| "What am I monitoring?" / "List monitors" | list |
| "What changed?" / "Show me events for monitor X" | events |

parallel-deep-research
ONLY use when user explicitly says 'deep research', 'exhaustive', 'comprehensive report', or 'thorough investigation'. Slower and more expensive than parallel-web-search. For normal research/lookup requests, use parallel-web-search instead. Supports multi-turn: pass --previous-interaction-id from a prior research or enrichment to continue with context.
1.7Kparallel-web-search
DEFAULT for all research and web queries. Use for any lookup, research, investigation, or question needing current info. Fast and cost-effective. Only use parallel-deep-research if user explicitly requests 'deep' or 'exhaustive' research.
1.4Kparallel-web-extract
URL content extraction. Use for fetching any URL - webpages, articles, PDFs, JavaScript-heavy sites. Token-efficient: runs in forked context. Prefer over built-in WebFetch.
1.2Kparallel-data-enrichment
Bulk data enrichment. Adds web-sourced fields (CEO names, funding, contact info) to lists of companies, people, or products. Use for enriching CSV files or inline data. Supports multi-turn: pass --previous-interaction-id from a prior research task to carry context forward.
