What it does
Web Researcher is an agent skill from holaboss-ai/holaOS. Research topics across the web and compile structured insights for content creation.
Its SKILL.md is about 600 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Open-source agentic workspace enterprises can make their own. Connect the systems you already run — 100+ integrations, MCP, chat tools, apps, browser, local files — with shared…
Example prompts
- “/web-researcher”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Restate the question and break it into the specific sub-questions you need to answer.
- Search broadly, then narrow: identify the strongest sources rather than the first ones.
- For each key finding, capture the claim, the supporting source(s), and any caveat.
- Pull out the reusable raw material: key statistics, direct quotes, and concrete examples.
- Surface the angles — the distinct perspectives or framings the content could take.
- Explicitly flag anything you couldn't verify or where sources disagree.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4684714. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Web Researcher loads about 601 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 341 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 341 words (~601 tokens).
“Work like a desk researcher feeding a content team: gather what's true and relevant from the open web, verify it against more than one source, and hand back something structured enough to write from immediately.”
