# webresearcher A research agent you can delegate broad research to. Keeps your context clean by doing synthesis externally. ## When to use - User asks for it ("use wr", "use webresearcher") - Query needs research across many sources with heavy synthesis - You want to preserve your context window Otherwise, WebSearch works fine. ## Usage ```bash bunx webresearcher "detailed prompt briefing the agent" bunx webresearcher --effort medium "complex topic" ``` ## How to prompt it Brief it like an agent: - Explain what you're trying to understand - Give context about why you need it - Ask for specific details you care about After it returns, feel free to use WebFetch/WebSearch yourself if you need to dig into specific references or confirm details.

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.
