multi-source-web-researcher
When the user needs to gather information from multiple sources including web searches, academic databases (arXiv), PDF documents, and professional profiles. This skill is triggered by research tasks requiring parallel information gathering, cross-referencing multiple sources, or when dealing with academic/professional data that exists across different platforms. It handles concurrent searches, source verification, and data consolidation from diverse information repositories.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Multi-Source Web Researcher ## Purpose This skill orchestrates the systematic collection, verification, and consolidation of information from multiple digital sources to answer research questions, particularly those involving academic or professional data. It is designed to handle tasks where information is distributed across web search results, academic paper repositories (arXiv), PDF documents, and professional profile platforms (Google Scholar, institutional websites). ## Core Workflow ### 1. Initial Setup & Discovery - **Locate Target Files**: First, identify any local files (like Excel workbooks) that define the research scope or require population. Use terminal commands to find relevant files in the workspace. - **Understand Data Structure**: Read the metadata and contents of discovered files to understand what information needs to be gathered and the required format. ### 2. Parallel Information Gathering - **Concurrent Searches**: For efficiency, launch multiple web searches *in parallel* to gather initial leads on each research item (e.g., paper titles, author names). - **Source Diversification**: Use a combination of: - `local-web_search`: For general web results, author

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill multi-source-web-researcher --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
