# Web Research Skill
## Research Process
### Step 1: Create and Save Research Plan
Before delegating to subagents, you MUST:
1. **Create a research folder** - Organize all research files in a dedicated folder relative to the current working directory:
```
mkdir research_[topic_name]
```
This keeps files organized and prevents clutter in the working directory.
