ai:agent

Multi-agent web research for any coding agent. Use for anything requiring current information from the internet — news, trends, product/service/company facts, statistics, people, places, events, APIs, library behavior, or 'what is X / how does X work' questions. Also use to search a local knowledge store of previously researched findings before doing live research. Powered by the pi-research engine (search, stealth scraping, security databases, Stack Exchange). Not for reading local files, running project commands, or analyzing this repository's own source.
