# Web Search Skill
## When to Use
Use this skill when you need current information from the web.
## Steps
### Step 1 — Formulate Query
Analyze the user's request and create 2-3 targeted search queries.
Focus on specificity — narrow queries return better results.
### Step 2 — Execute Search
Use the `web_search` tool with your queries.
Limit to 5 results per query.
### Step 3 — Synthesize
Cross-reference results across queries.
Return a structured summary with sources.
## Output Format
Return findings as:
- **Summary** (2-3 sentences)
- **Key findings** (bullet list)
- **Sources** (URLs)
## Examples
- Input: "latest news on OpenAI"
- Output: Summary of 3-5 recent articles with links
