web-research-workflow
Unified decision tree for web research and competitive monitoring. Auto-selects WebFetch, Tavily, or agent-browser based on target site characteristics and available API keys. Includes competitor page tracking, snapshot diffing, and change alerting. Use when researching web content, scraping, extracting raw markdown, capturing documentation, or monitoring competitor changes.
What this skill does
# Web Research Workflow
Unified approach for web content research that automatically selects the right tool for each situation.
## Quick Decision Tree
```
URL to research
│
▼
┌─────────────────┐
│ 1. Try WebFetch │ ← Fast, free, no overhead
│ (always try) │
└─────────────────┘
│
Content OK? ──Yes──► Parse and return
│
No (empty/partial/<500 chars)
│

┌───────────────────────┐
│ 2. TAVILY_API_KEY set?│
└───────────────────────┘

Yes No ──► Skip to step 3

┌───────────────────────────┐
│ Tavily search/extract/ │ ← Raw markdown, batch URLs
│ crawl/research │
└───────────────────────────┘

Content OK? ──Yes──► Parse and return

No (JS-rendered/auth-required)

┌─────────────────────┐
│ 3. Use agent-browser │ ← Full browser, last resort
└─────────────────────┘

├─ SPA (react/vue/angular) ──► wait --load networkidle
├─ Login required ──► auth flow + state save
├─ Dynamic content ──► wait --text "Expected"
└─ Multi-page ──► crawl pattern
```
## Tavily Enhanced Research
When `TAVILY_API_KEY` is set, Tavily provides a powerful middle tier between WebFetch and agent-browser. It returns raw markdown content, supports batch URL extraction, and offers semantic search with relevance scoring. If `TAVILY_API_KEY` is not set, the 3-tier tree collapses to 2-tier (WebFetch → agent-browser) automatically.

Load details: `Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/tavily-api.md")` for Search, Extract, Map, Crawl, and Research endpoint examples and options.
## Browser Patterns
For content requiring JavaScript rendering, authentication, or multi-page crawling, fall back to agent-browser.
Load details: `Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/rules/browser-patterns.md")` for auto-fallback, authentication flow, multi-page research patterns, best practices, and troubleshooting.
## Competitive Monitoring
Track competitor websites for changes in pricing, features, positioning, and content.
Load details: `Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/rules/monitoring-competitor.md")` for snapshot capture, structured data extraction, and change classification.
Load details: `Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/rules/monitoring-change-detection.md")` for diff detection, structured comparison, Tavily site discovery, and CI automation.
### Change Classification
| Severity | Examples | Action |
|----------|----------|--------|
| Critical | Price increase/decrease, major feature change | Immediate alert |
| High | New feature added, feature removed | Review required |
| Medium | Copy changes, positioning shift | Note for analysis |
| Low | Typos, minor styling | Log only |

Related in Backend & APIs
jfrog
IncludedInteract with the JFrog Platform via the JFrog CLI and REST/GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when the user wants to manage Artifactory repositories, upload or download artifacts, manage builds, configure permissions, manage users and groups, work with access tokens, configure JFrog CLI servers, search artifacts, manage properties, set up replication, manage JFrog Projects, run security audits or scans, look up CVE details, query exposures scan results from JFrog Advanced Security, manage release bundles and lifecycle operations, aggregate or export platform data, or perform any JFrog Platform administration task. Also use when the user mentions jf, jfrog, artifactory, xray, distribution, evidence, apptrust, onemodel, graphql, workers, mission control, curation, advanced security, exposures, or any JFrog product name.
cupynumeric-migration-readiness
IncludedPre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.
alibabacloud-data-agent-skill
IncludedInvoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".
token-optimizer
IncludedReduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
resend-cli
IncludedUse this skill when the task is specifically about operating Resend from an AI agent, terminal session, or CI job via the official resend CLI: installing/authenticating the CLI, sending/listing/updating/cancelling emails, batch sends, domains and DNS, webhooks and local listeners, inbound receiving, contacts, topics, segments, broadcasts, templates, API keys, profiles, or debugging Resend CLI/API failures. Trigger on mentions of Resend CLI, `resend`, `resend doctor`, `resend emails send`, `resend domains`, `resend webhooks listen`, `resend emails receiving`, or agent-friendly terminal automation.
alibabacloud-odps-maxframe-coding
IncludedUse this skill for MaxFrame SDK development and documentation navigation on Alibaba Cloud MaxCompute (ODPS). Helps answer MaxFrame API, concept, official example, and supported pandas API questions; create data processing programs; read/write MaxCompute tables; debug jobs (remote or local); and build custom DPE runtime images. Trigger when users mention MaxFrame, MaxCompute with MaxFrame, ODPS table processing, DPE runtime, MaxFrame docs/examples, DataFrame/Tensor operations, or GPU runtime setup. Works for both English and Chinese queries about Alibaba Cloud data processing with MaxFrame.
