Web Research in Pi
Use Pi's Perplexity-backed tools:
web_searchfor source discovery.web_answerfor focused factual questions.web_researchfor broad or multi-step investigations.
Boundaries
Use this for:
- comparisons and trade-offs
- recent facts and release behavior
- standards and external best practices
- vendor docs or public evidence
Do not use web tools for private code, secrets, credentials, proprietary data, or local code exploration. Use local search first for repo-specific questions.
Workflow
- Restate the research question and decide if it is simple or broad.
- For simple factual questions, use
web_answerwith a focused query. - For source selection, use
web_search, then cite the best official or primary sources from the returned results. - For broad investigations, use
web_researchand tell the user the report will arrive asynchronously. - Compare claims against local project constraints before recommending changes.
- Report uncertainty and source gaps directly.
Output Contract

### Answer
<concise answer>
### Evidence
- <source title/url or grounded result> — <why it matters>
### Fit For This Repo
<what changes because of local constraints>
### Gaps
<any missing evidence>

Use when planning, executing, checkpointing, finishing, or inspecting lightweight spec-driven work. Runs one task at a time using `.spec/` markdown files and the bundled `specctl` helper. NOT for broad product discovery beyond a short requirement interview. NOT for generic implementation planning that does not read or write `.spec/` files.
