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
## Research Result
### 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>

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Idiomatic shell development for POSIX sh, Bash, Zsh, Fish, hooks, CI shell steps, and scriptable CLI glue. Use when writing or changing `.sh`, `.bash`, `.zsh`, `.fish`, `.bats`, shell functions, shell pipelines, or command-runner recipes. Emphasizes portability, quoting, safe filesystem/process handling, non-TUI CLI tools, ShellCheck, shfmt, Bats, and ShellSpec. NOT for Python, TypeScript, Go, web code, or infrastructure operations.

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Configure safe git workflow hygiene: pre-commit/pre-push hooks, Gitleaks secret scanning, .gitignore rules, local git config, and guardrails. Use when setting up git hooks, gitleaks/git leaks, staged pre-commit checks, pre-push validation, core.hooksPath, .gitignore, or git config best practices. NOT for creating commits (use committing-code), cleaning branches/worktrees (use cleanup-git), or creating worktrees (use using-git-worktrees).
