# vike-web-research
Composite playbook combining `vike web search` and `vike web fetch` for cross-source synthesis.
## Workflow
### 1. Search (gather candidate URLs)
```bash
vike web search "<query>" --max 5 --json
```
Capture the top results' URLs and titles. If the response includes an `answer` field, that's often enough for simple factual queries — surface it directly and skip step 2.
### 2. Fetch (only when search snippets are insufficient)
```bash
vike web fetch <top-result-url> --ask "<focused question>" --json
```
Fetch only the highest-scoring (Tavily) or most-credible (Serper) URL. Re-fetching all 5 search results burns credits and adds noise.
### 3. Synthesize
> **Question:** `<user query>`
> **Answer (from `<source URL>`):** `<extracted answer>`
> **Other relevant sources:** `<url1>`, `<url2>` (with one-line summaries each)
Always link the source URL so the user can verify.
## When to skip the workflow
- **One-shot fact lookup** (price, date, contract address) → if `web search` returns it in the `answer` field, just quote that
- **The user already gave you a URL** → skip search, jump to `web fetch`
- **On-chain question** → don't web-research; use vike's on-chain tools (`token holders`, `wallet labels`, `perp funding`, etc.)
## Anti-patterns
- Don't fetch 5 URLs and average them — pick the most authoritative
- Don't quote Reddit / Twitter as primary sources for hard claims (price, dates, addresses); use them for sentiment only
- Don't combine web res
