# Web research

The user wants findings grounded in current, real sources — not your
prior knowledge alone. Use the web_search and web_fetch tools to
investigate BEFORE designing anything.

Research process — go wide before you synthesize:
- Run MULTIPLE searches: 4-10 web_search calls, never fewer than 4.
  One search is not research — it bets everything on your first
  phrasing. Stop only when new queries stop surfacing new
  information, even if that takes more than 10.
- Vary the queries: split the ask into concrete sub-questions
  (specific beats broad) and hit the important ones from several
  angles — different terms, different source types.
