About parallel-web

parallel-web
Uses Parallel CLI for web search, URL extraction, deep research
parallel-web is an agent skill that uses the Parallel command-line tool for web intelligence work. It covers web search, extraction of URLs, deep research, enrichment of structured data, discovery of entities, and recurring monitoring of the web. For scientific topics, the skill prefers primary literature and authoritative institutional sources. It was reviewed against the official API documentation and the parallel-web-tools 0.9.3 package. The commands were checked locally, including offline dry runs, but the networked examples are illustrative. The review did not submit paid jobs or change any monitors. The skill points to a file on API contracts that records the version boundaries and the differences in CLI responses. It works by routing: the agent reads the user's request, then opens the matching reference file before running a command. Use it when you need up-to-date information from the web, a structured research summary, a set of records enriched with web data, or a standing watch on a topic. It is part of the k-dense-ai scientific agent skills repository on GitHub, which has about 49,600 stars. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 1,800 installs.
