Documentation

README

Excerpt

Web Search channel (Stage 4d) — keyless, agent-driven

A zero-dependency discovery channel for users who have only Claude Code and no search accounts (no SearchAPI / Gemini / Undermind). It uses the agent's own WebSearch / WebFetch tools to find real literature on the open web, then funnels the hits through the same dedup -> verify -> screen pipeline as every other channel.

There is no subprocess driver here: a Python script cannot run WebSearch. The agent (you, in Claude Code) does the searching; scripts/websearch_ingest.py only normalizes what you gather into the pipeline schema.

When to use
