$npx -y skills add girijashankarj/cursor-handbook --skill websearchUse web search to find current documentation, best practices, or version-specific information. Use when the user asks about library versions or recent API changes.
| 1 | # Skill: Web search |
| 2 | |
| 3 | ## Trigger |
| 4 | When the user asks about a library version, recent API change, or "latest way to do X" and the answer may have changed. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | ## Steps |
| 7 | |
| 8 | 1. **Query** — Form a short search query (library name, version, and topic). |
| 9 | 2. **Search** — Use the web search tool to fetch 1–2 authoritative results (official docs, release notes). |
| 10 | 3. **Synthesize** — Summarize the finding and cite the source; apply to the user’s codebase if relevant. |
| 11 | 4. **Caveat** — Note if the result is version-specific or may vary by environment. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | ## Rules |
| 14 | - Prefer official docs and release notes over random blog posts. |
| 15 | - Do not paste long copied text; summarize and link. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | ## Prerequisites |
| 18 | - [ ] Web search tool available |
| 19 | - [ ] User question is version- or time-sensitive (e.g. "latest", "React 19", "Node 22") |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ## Completion Checklist |
| 22 | - [ ] Query used and source cited |
| 23 | - [ ] Summary in 2–4 sentences |
| 24 | - [ ] Version or date caveat if applicable |
| 25 | |
| 26 | ## If Step Fails |
| 27 | - **No results**: Broaden query (e.g. "React useEffect" instead of "React 19 useEffect") |
| 28 | - **Outdated result**: Add "as of [date]" or "check latest docs" |
| 29 | - **Conflicting info**: Prefer official docs; note disagreement |
| 30 | |
| 31 | ## Example |
| 32 | Query: "Express 5 migration guide". Result: Express 5 release notes, breaking changes. Summary: async handlers, req.query changes. Caveat: Express 5.x as of 2025. |
