parallel-web
Use Parallel CLI for web search, URL extraction, deep research, structured data enrichment, entity discovery, and recurring web monitoring. Best for requests that explicitly need current web evidence, academic-source discovery, repeated entity lookups, exhaustive reports, or ongoing change tracking.
Why this skill is useful
Adds specific commands and structured workflows for web research and data enrichment that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs
Requires parallel-cli installed locally. About 4k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-03. 32,849 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
Parallel Web Toolkit A unified skill for Parallel's web-intelligence workflows. For scientific topics, prefer primary literature and authoritative institutional sources. Routing — pick the right capability Read the user's request and then open the corresponding reference file before running a command. User wants to... Capability Where --- --- --- Look something up, research a topic, find current info Web Search references/web-search.md Fetch content from a specific URL (webpage, article, PDF) Web Extract references/web-extract.md Add web-sourced fields to a list of companies/people/products Data Enrichment references/data-enrichment.md Get an exhaustive, multi-source report (user says "deep research", "exhaustive", "comprehensive") Deep Research references/deep-research.md Discover a set of entities matching natural-language criteria FindAll references/findall.md Track web changes on a recurring schedule Monitor references/monitor.md Install or authenticate parallel-cli Setup Below Check or retrieve an asynchronous result Status and polling Below and the capability reference Decision guide Web Search is the normal choice for a lookup or bounded research question. Web Extract is for a known public URL, including PDFs and JavaScript-rendered pages. Data Enrichment applies the same requested fields to user-supplied rows. Do not loop over Web Search for this. FindAll discovers the entities themselves. Use enrichment when the entities are already supplied. Deep Research is only for explicitly exhaustive or comprehensive requests because it is slower and more expensive. Monitor creates persistent external state and is only for explicitly recurring tracking. A one-time check belongs in Web Search or Web Extract. If parallel-cli is not found when running any command, follow the Setup section below. Academic source priority Across all capabilities, prefer academic and scientific sources when the query is technical or scientific in nature. …
