parallel-web
Use Parallel CLI for web search, URL extraction, deep research, structured data enrichment, entity discovery, and recurring web monitoring. Best for requests that explicitly need current web evidence, academic-source discovery, repeated entity lookups, exhaustive reports, or ongoing change tracking.
npx skills add K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-writer --skill parallel-web --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Parallel Web Toolkit A unified skill for Parallel's web-intelligence workflows. For scientific topics, prefer primary literature and authoritative institutional sources. ## Routing — pick the right capability Read the user's request and then open the corresponding reference file before running a command. | User wants to... | Capability | Where | |---|---|---| | Look something up, research a topic, find current info | **Web Search** | `references/web-search.md` | | Fetch content from a specific URL (webpage, article, PDF) | **Web Extract** | `references/web-extract.md` | | Add web-sourced fields to a list of companies/people/products | **Data Enrichment** | `references/data-enrichment.md` | | Get an exhaustive, multi-source report (user says "deep research", "exhaustive", "comprehensive") | **Deep Research** | `references/deep-research.md` | | Discover a set of entities matching natural-language criteria | **FindAll** | `references/findall.md` | | Track web changes on a recurring schedule | **Monitor** | `references/monitor.md` | | Install or authenticate parallel-cli | **Setup** | Below | | Check or retrieve an asynchronous result | **Status and polling** | Below and the capabili

What does the parallel-web skill do?
Use Parallel CLI for web search, URL extraction, deep research, structured data enrichment, entity discovery, and recurring web monitoring. Best for requests that explicitly need current web evidence, academic-source discovery, repeated entity lookups, exhaustive reports, or ongoing change tracking.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-writer --skill parallel-web --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 K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-writer, a repository with 2,169 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.
