What it does
Webthinker Deep Research is an agent skill from foryourhealth111-pixel/Vibe-Skills. Deep web research for VCO: multi-hop search+browse+extract with an auditable action trace and a structured report (WebThinker-style).
Its SKILL.md is about 990 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/init_webthinker_run.py`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Deep research. The repository describes itself as: Intelligent Skill routing and workflow orchestration for AI agents — +21.12 pp reward, −29.6% tokens on SkillsBench with DeepSeekV4Flash-VE. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Deep research
Example prompts
- “/webthinker-deep-research”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Scaffold outputs
- Search (broad → narrow)
- Browse/extract
- Draft + iterate
- Verification
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ddcaa2a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pwshpython
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
OPENAI_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Webthinker Deep Research loads about 991 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 425 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

WebThinker Deep Research (VCO)
When to use
Use this skill when the task requires deep web research (not just one-shot search), for example:
- Multi-hop questions (“find → open → follow links → verify”)
- “Deep research report” / “调研报告” / “竞品调研” / “技术调研”
- Need an auditable trace of web actions and sources
- Need to merge findings into a structured deliverable (report / brief / spec)
Non-goals (avoid redundancy)
- For quick citations or “give me 3 sources”, prefer
research-lookup. - For interactive UI flows (login / forms / downloads), prefer
playwrightorturix-cuaoverlays. - For codebase structure / call chains, prefer GitNexus overlays (not web research).
Output contract (must)
Produce a folder with:
report.md— structured report (problem → findings → implications → next steps)sources.json— all sources (URL/title/access time/snippet)trace.jsonl— append-only action trace (search/open/extract/decision)notes.md— working notes with per-source anchors
Use scripts/init_webthinker_run.py to scaffold the folder.
Runtime (Upstream vendoring)
This VCO skill supports a stable Lite mode by default, and keeps the upstream WebThinker repo vendored for optional advanced use.
- Vendored upstream paths:
C:\Users\羽裳\.codex\_external\ruc-nlpir\WebThinker\
- Runtime config (no secrets stored):
C:\Users\羽裳\.codex\skills\vibe\config\ruc-nlpir-runtime.json
- Preflight / install (no secrets echoed):
pwsh C:\Users\羽裳\.codex\skills\vibe\scripts\ruc-nlpir\preflight.ps1- Manually create an isolated venv for the vendored runtime and install only the minimal packages you need. The old
install-upstreams.ps1auto-install path has been removed on purpose.
LLM endpoint conventions (recommended):
- Base URL:
OPENAI_BASE_URL(or runtime default) - API key:
OPENAI_API_KEY(env var only; never write into files or CLI args)
Modes
Show full SKILL.md (204 more words)Show less
Mode A (Recommended): Lite — tool-orchestrated deep research
Use existing tools (no heavy model hosting):
- Scaffold outputs:
python C:\Users\羽裳\.codex\skills\webthinker-deep-research\scripts\init_webthinker_run.py --topic "…" --out outputs/webthinker
- Search (broad → narrow):
- Use
web.runsearch queries ormcp__tavily__tavily_searchif available.
- Use
- Browse/extract:
- Use
web.run open/click/findfor structured pages - Use
playwrightwhen pages require dynamic rendering / interactions
- Use
- Draft + iterate:
- Update
notes.mdandsources.jsoncontinuously - Write
report.mdas you go (think-search-and-draft), not only at the end
- Update
- Verification:
- Triangulate key claims across ≥2 sources when possible
- Flag uncertainties explicitly
Mode B (Optional): Full WebThinker stack
Only choose this if you want to run the upstream system end-to-end and you have the environment:
- Requires heavy deps (
torch,transformers,vllm) + a served reasoning model - Requires a search API (Serper recommended by upstream)
- Optional: Crawl4AI parser client for JS-heavy pages
This mode is for high-throughput deep research runs; for most VCO tasks, Lite mode is enough and cheaper.
Action trace format (trace.jsonl)
Each line is one JSON object, e.g.:
{"ts":"…","type":"search","query":"…","provider":"web.run"}{"ts":"…","type":"open","url":"…"}{"ts":"…","type":"extract","url":"…","highlights":["…","…"]}{"ts":"…","type":"decision","reason":"why this source matters","next":"…"}
Quality gates
- Every major claim in
report.mdlinks back to at least one entry insources.json. sources.jsoncontains the exact URLs you used (no “I saw somewhere…”).- Keep the report actionable: add “Next steps” with concrete verification tasks.
