Skill: Web search

Trigger

When the user asks about a library version, recent API change, or "latest way to do X" and the answer may have changed.

Steps

1. Query — Form a short search query (library name, version, and topic). 2. Search — Use the web search tool to fetch 1–2 authoritative results (official docs, release notes). 3. Synthesize — Summarize the finding and cite the source; apply to the user’s codebase if relevant. 4. Caveat — Note if the result is version-specific or may vary by environment.

Rules

  • Prefer official docs and release notes over random blog posts.
  • Do not paste long copied text; summarize and link.

Prerequisites

  • [ ] Web search tool available
  • [ ] User question is version- or time-sensitive (e.g. "latest", "React 19", "Node 22")

Completion Checklist

  • [ ] Query used and source cited
  • [ ] Summary in 2–4 sentences
  • [ ] Version or date caveat if applicable

If Step Fails

  • No results: Broaden query (e.g. "React useEffect" instead of "React 19 useEffect")
  • Outdated result: Add "as of [date]" or "check latest docs"
  • Conflicting info: Prefer official docs; note disagreement

Example

Query: "Express 5 migration guide". Result: Express 5 release notes, breaking changes. Summary: async handlers, req.query changes. Caveat: Express 5.x as of 2025.
