One of the first skills I made for Claude was a research skill.
I give it a question (narrow or really broad), and the model does a bunch of web searches using subagents, to try and get a comprehensive answer using current results
The important part is, when the model answers, I have it cite its sources, using direct links. So, I can directly confirm the accuracy and quality of any info it finds
It's been super helpful. I can give it super broad questions like "Here's the architecture and environment details I'm planning for a new project. Can you see if there's any known issues with this setup". Then, it'll give me direct links + summaries to any relevant pages.
Saves a ton of time manually searching through the haystack, and so far, the latest models are pretty good about not missing important things (and catching plenty of things I missed)
