What it does

  • You need to find information on any topic
  • You don't have a specific URL yet
  • First step in the workflow: search → extract → map → crawl → research
  • Keep queries under 400 characters — think search query, not prompt.
  • Break complex queries into sub-queries for better results.
  • Use --include-raw-content when you need full page text (saves a separate extract call).
  • Use --include-domains to focus on trusted sources.
