CLI web search, the default for lookups, current information and research queries. Save retrieved sources as JSON and cite them. Only use parallel-deep-research when the user explicitly requests deep or exhaustive research.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/parallel-web/parallel-cursor-plugin /tmp/parallel-cursor-plugin && ln -s /tmp/parallel-cursor-plugin/skills/parallel-web-search ~/.claude/skills/parallel-web-search
```

## From README

Web Search Search the web for: $ARGUMENTS Command Choose a short, descriptive filename based on the query (e.g., ai-chip-news, react-vs-vue). Use lowercase with hyphens, no spaces. Substitute it into the command inline — $FILENAME and below are placeholders, not shell variables; do not copy them verbatim. Concrete example for a query about React 19: The first argument is the objective — a natural language description of what you're looking for. It replaces multiple keyword searches with a single call for broad or complex queries. Add -q flags for specific keyword queries to supplement the objective. The -o flag saves the full results to a JSON file for follow-up questions.
