# Web Search Skill

Equip the agent with a `web_search(query)` tool and a lightweight research loop.

## Loop

1. Decompose the question into 2–4 focused search queries.
2. Run searches and open the most promising results.
3. Extract the relevant facts, tracking the source URL for each claim.
4. Synthesize a concise answer with inline citations.

## Notes

- Prefer primary sources over aggregators.
- If sources disagree, surface the disagreement rather than averaging it away.
- Never present an unverified claim as fact.
