README (SKILL.md)
Web Researcher Skill
When to use
- Use when the user asks for "the latest," "news," or "research" on a topic.
- Use when you need to verify a fact that isn't in your local training data.
Research Protocol
- Multi-Query Search: Don't just search once. Run 2-3 targeted searches (e.g., "OpenClaw 2026.3.2 features" AND "OpenClaw 2026.3.2 bugs").
- Deep Dive: Use
web_fetchon at least the top 2 most relevant URLs to get the full text. Snippets are not enough for deep research. - Synthesis: Summarize the findings by grouping them into "Key Facts," "Timeline," and "Contradictions" (if any).
- Cite Sources: Always list the URLs you actually read at the end of your report.
Output Format
- Start with a 🪐 Jupiter Research Brief header.
- Use bullet points for readability.
- Highlight any "Breaking News" or "Critical Alerts" in bold.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and only asks the agent to run searches and fetch public web pages for synthesis. Before enabling it, confirm you are comfortable with the agent fetching arbitrary external URLs (check your platform's web_fetch behavior, privacy, and rate limits). No credentials are requested, and there is no install step. If you need stricter limits, consider restricting autonomous invocation or reviewing fetched results before they are presented.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: web-researcher
Version: 1.0.0
The web-researcher skill bundle contains standard instructions for an AI agent to perform multi-query searches and synthesize information from web sources. The SKILL.md file outlines a legitimate research protocol without any signs of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection attacks.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (deep research, fact-checking, latest news) match the instructions: run multiple searches, fetch full text of top results, synthesize and cite. It does not request unrelated credentials, binaries, or config access.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md stays within the stated purpose: perform 2–3 targeted searches, use web_fetch on top results, summarize and cite. The only notable action is retrieving full page content from external URLs (via web_fetch), which is expected for web research.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec or code files — nothing is written to disk or downloaded by the skill itself.
Credentials
No environment variables, secrets, or config paths are requested. The credential surface is minimal and appropriate for a web research task.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false (normal). The skill can be invoked autonomously by the agent (platform default). Because it fetches external web content, autonomous runs could contact arbitrary sites — this is expected for a research skill but worth noting.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install web-researcher - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/web-researcher - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
