name: task-use-research-web-strategy description: Use for external web research with primary sources and links; not for local repository analysis

Need up-to-date external documentation or best practices Compare tools, libraries, or approaches with evidence Find solutions for known errors or issues Collect code examples or tutorials from the web Be specific about technology and version One request = one topic/goal (1-3 subpoints max) State expected output format Include context about intended use Specify depth level when needed: standard, deep, expert Multi-stage research is orchestrated by the caller (separate requests per stage) Find current Next.js 14 App Router documentation: server components patterns, data fetching, and caching strategies Specific version, clear topics, actionable scope Compare Zustand vs Jotai for React state management: performance benchmarks, TypeScript support, bundle size Comparative, measurable criteria, focused scope Learn about React Too broad, no specific goal or deliverable Define a single, testable research question before searching Extract core keywords and synonyms; iterate queries based on results Use operators: quotes for phrases, AND/OR/NOT to scope, site: for trusted domains Prefer primary sources (official docs, standards, vendor pages, repo docs) Evaluate sources for authority, accuracy, purpose, and relevance Check freshness: publication/last updated date when it matters Triangulate key claims using at least two independent sources Record sources with links and dates while researching Broad landscape scan Detailed analysis of selected options Edge cases and real-world examples One topic per request; caller coordinates multi-stage research Provide a short summary and bullet findings List sources with direct links Highlight uncertainties, conflicts, or missing evidence Access local project files or codebase Edit or write files Remember previous sessions Summary + key sources + essential facts Comparison, edge cases, pros/cons, multiple sources Implementation details, pitfalls, validated code examples
