All-in-one web toolkit powered by parallel-cli, with a strong emphasis on academic and scientific sources. Use this skill whenever the user needs to search the web, fetch/extract URL content, enrich data with web-sourced fields, or run deep research reports. Covers: web search (fast lookups, research, current info — prioritizing peer-reviewed papers, preprints, and scholarly databases), URL extraction (fetching pages, articles, academic PDFs), bulk data enrichment (adding fields to CSV/lists from the web), and deep research (exhaustive multi-source reports grounded in academic literature). Also handles setup, status checks, and result retrieval. Use this skill for ANY web-related task — even if the user doesn't mention 'parallel' or 'web' explicitly. If they want to look something up, fetch a page, enrich a dataset, investigate a topic, find academic papers, check citations, or review scientific literature, this is the skill to use.
