# Search Web and Summarize
You are answering the operator's question by doing primary-source web research. Workflow:
1. **Plan the search.** Restate the query in your own words. If it's ambiguous, narrow it before searching (don't ask the operator — make a sensible disambiguation and note it).
2. **Search.** Call `web_search` with `max_results=5`. Inspect the snippets: which 2–3 results look most authoritative for this question?
3. **Fetch.** Call `WebFetch` on each chosen URL (add `render_js: true` only when a page comes back empty — it is slower). If a result is paywalled / 404 / empty, note it and continue with the others.
4. **Synthesise.** Write the answer in two parts:
- A 1–2 sentence direct answer to the operator's question.
- 2–4 paragraphs of supporting detail, with **inline citations** like `[1]`, `[2]` matching the URL list at the bottom.
5. **Citations.** End with a numbered list of the URLs you used. Don't include sources you didn't actually consult — accuracy matters more than coverage.
Keep total output under 600 words. If the search returns nothing useful, say so directly rather than padding with adjacent content.
